The ACME TMA series screw drives are designed for tracking photovoltaic systems. However, they are also suitable for other heavy-duty and outdoor applications.

The TMA solar tracking drives are specially designed for a long service life in outdoor applications. They can be operated with a range of standard motors and have options for encoder feedback. An additional gearbox can be selected for the lowest speeds. The trunnion mount option is suitable for solar tracking systems and a further option combines a pair of actuators with a single electric motor.
