Introduction

The aim of this assignment is to develop your engineering design skills using CAD software. It is worth 60% of the overall module mark.

Do You Need Assignment of This Question

One of the components of solar panels are linear actuators which help the panels efficiently trackthe sun across the sky.

For your design assignment, you are required to design a simple linear actuator for solar panels

using Fusion 360 Computer Aided Design software. You can base your design on the one shown below:

The details for the design can be found in the following link:

You are required to produce a full design so that the volumetric dimensions are 500 mm × 200

mm × 100 mm. You are free to choose dimensions of all the other parts. You can also change the

shape as you wish. You will need to specify appropriate materials. The standard stroke lengths of

your designs should be within the range 100 – 300 mm.

You are not required to design complex internal components such as the motors and gears but

you are expected to show an understanding of where each component should be positioned. You

can model such components using black boxes.
