Acme Screw assemblies are the preferred choice of many for linear motion applications, partially because they're very flexible, coming in "many flavors," so to speak. One example of this is how many m
If you've ever wondered about the construction of linear slide systems and their functions, scroll below to read the top four most frequently asked questions. 1. What are Linear Slide Systems? A
Helix PTFE H10X Lead Screw Coating is a fluoropolymer-based coating combined with specially formulated resins to provide a tough, durable film for dry lubrication. OUr testing has proven that using th
When people hear the word Acme, many conjure up the image of the Acme brand products used by Wile E. Coyote in his attempts to catch his desert nemesis, the roadrunner. If you reflect on the episodes
As you know, the performance of trapezoidal screw assemblies doesn't just rely on the type of lead screw used but on matching the given screw with the proper nut. At Helix, we offer standard nuts manu
Linear motion positioning applications can often be addressed with a single-axis micro precision linear actuator consisting of a moving rail, a fixed base, a carrier plate, and a linear actuator. Howe
Acme screws are increasingly the preferred solution for linear actuation. Lubrication for acme screws is just as necessary. Lubricant types fall into two categories: liquid and non-liquid. Liquid lu
Acme screws and nuts convert rotary motion into linear motion by turning either the screw or the nut. There are several reasons why acme screws quickly become the norm for design engineers in linear m
5 Steps to Designing Linear Actuators for Medical Devices Although the term “linear actuator” can be defined broadly as any mechanical device that converts energy into controlled, straight-line
Linear actuators have a variety of applications depending on the industry. Helix Linear's actuators can be used for any application requiring linear motion. Our linear slides, stepper motor actuator
Clinical medical automation and laboratory automation go hand-in-hand with the linear motion industry. In the current pandemic landscape, precision lead screw and nut assemblies combined with linear a
