Before being shipped, solar tracker dampers must pass several important tests to ensure their reliability and efficiency. These checks are essential for guaranteeing that the dampers will perform optimally in solar tracking systems. Key pre-shipment tests include:
Visual Inspection: A thorough check is performed to detect any visible defects that could affect damper performance, including cracks or scratches.
Dimensional Accuracy: Ensuring precise measurements is vital for the damper’s correct installation and overall system performance. All components must meet strict size specifications.
Shock and Vibration Control: The damper’s ability to absorb shock and reduce vibrations is crucial for the solar tracker’s stability. Tests are conducted to simulate the dynamic forces the damper will experience in the field.
Leakage Prevention: Testing ensures that seals are intact and prevent any oil or moisture leaks, maintaining the integrity and performance of the damper.
Material Quality: The strength of the materials used, as well as the thickness of protective coatings, is verified to ensure the damper will endure outdoor conditions without succumbing to corrosion or wear.
Fatigue Resistance: Long-term durability is tested by simulating repeated cycles of stress to confirm the damper can withstand the conditions of continuous use without failure.
These essential tests ensure that each damper performs reliably and meets high-quality standards, contributing to the success of solar tracking systems worldwide.
