Tech & Products
The #1 choice for critical control solutions for the solar tracker industry
Trusted by more solar tracker brands to deliver superior tracking performance, Kinematics’ drives are designed for the rigors and demands of utility-scale solar tracking applications unlike generic actuator alternatives.
Kinematics ST™ Series
The next-gen ST series is the most reliable solar tracker drive ever. Featuring an exclusive maintenance-free, grease-free dry bearing design that delivers 20-50% more holding torque than our HE series, the ST Series allows you to use a smaller size for the same application resulting in cost savings without sacrificing performance. It features a corrosion and UV resistant design, and is environmentally-sealed (IP65).
The ST6 delivers over 25% more max holding torque (20 kN-m) than the HE6 series, in the same 6″ (152mm) package. It features 4 kN-m output torque.
ST7
The ST7 offers the same max holding torque in a 7″ (190mm) package as the HE8. It features 6.5 kN-m output torque.
ST8
The ST8 delivers a whopping 45 kN-m max holding torque rating in an 8″ (210mm) package. It features 8 kN-m output torque.
ST9
The ST9 is our largest solar tracker actuator for the most demanding applications with over 60 kN-m of holding torque. It features 12 kN-m output torque.
Kinematics ONE™
A complete actuation sub-system combining Kinematics drives, motors, and intelligent controls, all in an easy to integrate and commission package.
Suntrack® delivers a fully integrated, cyber-secure solar tracker controller ecosystem—managing positioning, monitoring, and analytics—to achieve over 99% uptime, optimized solar exposure, and reduced system LCOE.
Kinematics partners with the world’s leading motor manufacturers to ensure every drive delivers peak performance in solar tracking. By matching our field-proven slew drives with motors from trusted vendors, we provide smooth, precise movement and long-term reliability—maximizing energy output and securing the life of your plant.
Kinematics stands behind their product – a partner, not just a supplier – and gave us good support and technical advice. We have never regretted committing to Kinematics.
