Thread rolling is a metal forging process that forms screw threads by passing material under high pressure through a set of hardened dies

Helix Linear, a leader in the manufacture of lead screws and linear actuators is formally announcing the separation from its affiliated company Nook Industries.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is an engineering framework that optimizes the manufacturing process via design alterations to a product in the early stages of production.

Helix Linear Technologies is currently celebrating its fourth year manufacturing the small diameter Power AC Acme Screw product line (lead screws under 5/8" in diameter).

Can-stack linear actuators from Helix Linear Technologies leverage permanent magnets and stepper motor operation to convert rotary motion into linear motion.

Linear Guide Rail Systems are perhaps the most diverse group of products in the motion control industry.

Helix Linear Technologies designs and manufactures custom lead screws and Acme screws in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, alloy, titanium, and aluminum.

Lead screws from Helix Linear Technologies are widely used in additive manufacturing applications (commonly known as 3D printing) what's not so common -- the location of one of those recent projects. Our precision lead screws are now driving results 250 miles above the Earth inside NASA's Refabricator project.

Whatever the motion control requirements, linear actuators and leadscrew assemblies play a crucial role in material handling, packaging, and food processing equipment.

Our Acme threaded rods start in long lengths that can be shipped to you as-is or cut and machined to your specifications.
