Cat herder, and dog toy tosser.
I am making a single-axis tracker now...
My main spar is 1 7/8 inch pipe (aka 2 inch rigid metal conduit, https://www.homedepot.com/p/2-in-x-10-ft-Rigid-Metal-Conduit-0544310000/202068054)
Do I get a 2 inch pillow bearing and use 1/16 shims to squish into the bearing between the conduit, or just go with 1 7/8 pillow bearings?
This is a little unusual single-axis tracker, the spar will align E/W to basically be seasonal tilt (but it will still adjust automatically), not N/S for daily tracking.
