Matched node delivery
Drive seats, tube joints, purlin seats and locks are matched to the SYS-PV-T system to reduce field mix-ups.
Product overview
Covers drive, post, purlin and connection nodes with matched kit delivery.
[PV-TRACK-02] is positioned for longer spans or higher-load boundaries as the second typical tier in the single-axis tracker series.
The kit standardizes drive seats, main-tube joints, purlin seats, lock pins and bonding accessories for factory preassembly and fast field installation.
Connector sizes follow main-tube sections and drive models; bulk projects can be supplied by drive-zone numbering.
Typical materials are Q355B / Q235B steel parts with grade 8.8 high-strength bolts; hot-dip galvanizing is standard, with dacromet optional on critical parts.
Key advantages
Aligned to drive and section
Select by slew / push-rod and torque-tube bending zones instead of one generic connector.
Detailable nodes
Tube joints, bearing locks and bonding interfaces can be reviewed against project drawings and preassembled.
Closed document loop
RFQ, BOM, zone numbers and drawings share PV-TRACK-02 / SYS-PV-T02 identification.
System composition
For single-axis tracker arrays, focused on the relationships among torque tube, drive, bearings and control.
Torque tube / main beam
Transfers rotation and bending; check SYS-PV-T02-J in bending zones.
Drive unit
Slew drive or linear actuator; check SYS-PV-T02-D at the mounting node.
Bearing and lock
Supports rotation and carries mechanical lock loads in stow.
Purlin seats
Secure modules to the tube; review layout and wind loads.
Controller interface
Strategy execution and communications confirmed in electrical design.
Foundation interface
Pile / concrete foundations checked with drive loads.
Connection nodes
Typical node illustrations and notes; detailed project nodes follow the calculation package and construction drawings.
Main-tube joint
Two tube sections are joined by flange or sleeve to keep torsional stiffness and bending transfer; prefer SYS-PV-T02-J in bending zones.
Post bearing seat and lock
The bearing seat transfers rotation and load; mechanical locking must remain reliable in high-wind stow and match the drive seat kit.
Purlin seat
Purlin seats transfer module loads into the tube; spacing and uplift are reviewed and supplied with the SYS-PV-T kit.

Control and protection strategy
Drive zoning
Choose single or multi-drive layouts by row length, terrain and drive capacity; supply connectors by zone numbers.
Extreme weather
High wind, ice/snow or maintenance modes need explicit stow attitude and mechanical lock logic.
Control interface
Controller, anemometer, communications and SCADA interfaces are confirmed in electrical design.
Selection boundary
Preferred use case, engineering boundary and distinction from other products in the same category.
- Preferred use: drive, post, purlin and connection nodes with matched kit delivery (PV-TRACK-02).
- Boundary: connectors and drive kits; Q355B / Q235B with grade 8.8 bolts; hot-dip galvanizing (dacromet optional on critical parts).
- Choose PV-TRACK-01 for a full single-axis structure or PV-TRACK-03 for dual-row shared-tube layouts.
- Series position: longer-span or higher-load boundary; not intended outside the model load and interface envelope.
FAQ
Answers for the structure, interface and document requirements of Tracker Connection Kit (PV-TRACK-02).
How does PV-TRACK-02 differ from other models in the series?
It focuses on matched connection nodes—drive seats, tube joints, purlin seats and locks—rather than a full tracker structure. Use PV-TRACK-01 / 03 when the main constraint is full-array layout or dual-row shared tubes.
What inputs are required before selection?
At least tube section, drive type (slew / push-rod), row length, design wind speed, slope / terrain, control interface and foundation form. Object size and structural form directly affect nodes, specs and BOM.
How are material and corrosion protection selected?
Typical configuration uses Q355B / Q235B steel, grade 8.8 bolts and hot-dip galvanizing; critical parts may use dacromet. Coastal, chemical or corrosive sites need a separate corrosion upgrade.
What must be confirmed during detailing?
Confirm tube-joint bending zones, drive seats, bearing locks, installation interfaces and site clearance. Page illustrations do not replace project calculations and approved drawings.
Design and calculation
Connection and lock design for PV-TRACK-02 should satisfy drive torque, tube bending, stow lock and foundation reaction combinations.
SYS-PV-T02-D / SYS-PV-T02-J are published reference tiers; final sections, holes, bolt grades and corrosion protection follow the project package and BOM.
Unpublished values such as tracking angle and foundation sizes remain project-confirmed and must not be treated as final from the webpage.
