The friction between plastic and metal can easily lead to greater friction in the bearings. At the same time, the bearing sleeves of related photovoltaic trackers are generally two semi-cylinders. When one of the semi-cylinders is damaged, the bearing can easily become unusable, which in turn causes the main shaft to fail to operate normally, and the fault tolerance rate is low.

[0014] Optionally, the number of the sleeve bodies is four, two of which are configured as first sleeve assemblies, and the other two are configured as second sleeve assemblies, and a radial gap is provided between the first sleeve assemblies and the second sleeve assemblies.

[0015] Optionally, the at least two sleeve bodies are both connected to a limiting ring.

[0016] A bearing comprises a graphite sleeve which is easy to maintain and a bearing seat. The at least two sleeve bodies are rotatably sleeved in the bearing seat, and the graphite component is in contact with the inner wall of the bearing seat.

[0017] A photovoltaic tracker includes a bearing and further includes:

[0044] Specifically, the plurality of accommodating holes 12 are used to accommodate the plurality of graphite columns 21 , so as to limit the plurality of graphite columns 21 and prevent the plurality of graphite columns 21 from being separated from the sleeve body 1 .

[0045] Further, such as Figure 2 The number of the sleeve bodies 1 is four, two of which are configured as first sleeve assemblies 61 , and the other two sleeve bodies 1 are configured as second sleeve assemblies 62 .
