We're excited to share our new lead screw catalog with you. We are launching six new nut designs and over 23 new screw sizes.

Lead screws ad stepper motor actuators are excellent solutions for medical device applications because they are precise, clean and quiet.

Today, high precision lead and acme screws offer the latest technology for motion control with many opportunities, such as; Miniaturization and precision More widely used in automated systems Product developments with nanotechnology Advancements in linear to rotary conversion Design customization

Can-stack stepper actuators offer an economical linear motion solution in a small package.

ASIMO is a bipedal humanoid robot Honda has been developing with a goal to develop robots that will coexist with and be useful to people since its first introduction in 2000. In 2011, the latest version was introduced with world's first autonomous behavior control technology.

Industry 4.0 describes a future state of industry characterized by thorough digitization of economic and production flows. It requires horizontal integration at every step in the production process, in interaction with machines. In the globally interconnected world of Industry 4.0, machines also interact with one another.

Linear motion applications utilizing a ball screw or an acme screw require high tolerance screw end machining matched with precision bearing mounts. Helix Linear Technologies has designed a family of standard machined ends applicable to a variety of bearing arrangements.

Although the term “linear actuator” can be defined broadly as any mechanical device that converts energy into controlled, straight-line motion, the definition narrows in the context of devices used for medical treatment and biomedical/chemical research.
