Custom Lead Screws
Tailored Motion Solutions. Engineered for Your Unique Application.
Why Choose Custom Lead Screws?
- Fully customizable diameters, leads, and thread profiles — tailored to meet unique mechanical and motion requirements.
- Wide material options — stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, aluminum, specialty alloys, and more to suit environmental, durability, or weight constraints.
- Advanced machining and thread technologies — including thread rolling, thread whirling, and thread grinding to achieve high precision, surface finish, and performance.
- End-machining and assembly services — custom journals, keyways, flats, snap-ring grooves, and full assemblies integrate smoothly into your system.
- Application engineering support — our team works directly with OEMs and system designers to solve motion-control requirements, reduce risk, and accelerate time to market.
Applications & Advantages
Custom lead screws are ideal when standard catalog components don’t meet your performance, space, reliability, or integration demands. Whether you’re building medical imaging equipment, automated manufacturing systems, aerospace actuation assemblies, or precision laboratory instruments, our custom solutions help you achieve:
- Tighter tolerances and slower back-driving for vertical or holding duties
- Optimized life-cycle in harsh environments (high-heat, corrosive, high-duty cycle)
- Seamless integration (reduced need for adapting your system to the screw)
- American manufacturing with traceability, fast-turn prototyping, and responsive support
Why Helix?
- U.S.-based manufacturing with full supply-chain control and local accountability
- Deep expertise in custom motion components and long history solving complex engineering challenges
- Application engineers ready to partner from concept to production with CAD models, prototypes, and design feedback
- ISO-certified quality systems and consistent traceability across materials, coatings, and machining
When your design demands specialized motion beyond standard options, trust Helix Linear Technologies to deliver custom lead screws that deliver precision, durability, and integration that are all engineered for your success.
