Apparatus for the rotation of a large body, such as the base frame of a solar energy collector having a large reflective dish, about an axis utilizes a ring member or arcuate member. An actuator clamp is movable along the ring or arcuate member when it is not clamped to it. The actuator clamp is connected to one end of an expansion and contraction device, such as a hydraulic ram. The other end of the hydraulic ram is connected to the body, to a projection from the body, or to a rigid arm that is securely connected to the body. With the actuator clamp firmly clamped to the ring or arcuate member, actuation of the hydraulic ram causes the body to rotate about the axis. |
