About Us
Precision Motion. American Made. Engineering-Driven.
Helix Linear Technologies is a U.S.-based leader in precision linear motion components and systems. Established in Beachwood, Ohio, our mission is to deliver high-quality screws, actuators, and motion solutions that empower OEMs and system designers across industries to innovate confidently.
Since our founding, we have focused on engineering, manufacturing, and supporting motion-components that meet demanding performance specifications whether standard or entirely custom. From concept to production, our team partners closely with customers to select the right geometry, materials, coatings, and system integration so that your motion solution is optimized from the first design step.
Our Capabilities
Broad portfolio: lead screws, ball screws, actuators, linear guides and related motion accessories that are manufactured in the U.S.
For positioning-focused actuator designs, our documented product-development record includes precision rolled lead screws introduced to improve accuracy and performance, as well as a patented anti-backlash nut design that significantly reduced backlash in linear motion systems.
Custom engineering support: tailored diameters, leads, end-machining, nut types, actuation modules and full assemblies.
Quality and traceability: made in Beachwood, Ohio, under rigorous processes to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
Application-first mindset: we don’t just sell parts. We help you solve motion-challenges, reduce risk, and accelerate your time-to-market.
Why Helix?
Choosing Helix means partnering with a motion-engineer, not simply a parts supplier.
American manufacturing: U.S-based production means shorter supply chains, faster turnarounds, and controlled quality.
Engineering collaboration: Our experts work with you to analyze loads, motion profiles, duty cycles, and environmental demands that ensure your component fits your system. The available custom-engineering scope includes tailored diameters, leads, end-machining, nut types, actuation modules, and full assemblies.
Comprehensive solutions: From catalog products to entirely custom systems, we provide one-stop motion-component sourcing, integration support, and lifelong service. Lifecycle evidence includes the patented H10X coating, described as extending the life of a lead screw nut by ten times, plus ISO 9001 certification and AS9100:2016 with Design certification.
Trusted across industries: Whether aerospace, medical devices, factory automation, robotics, or automotive, our components deliver precision and durability in real-world conditions.
Our Commitment
Actuator Selection FAQs
What positioning evidence should buyers review?
Helix’s precision rolled lead screws were introduced to improve accuracy and performance, while our patented anti-backlash nut design significantly reduced backlash in linear motion systems. Include positioning accuracy and repeatability as requirements in the application brief for each of your configurations.
How are moderate loads and duty cycles evaluated?
Bring the required load, motion profile, duty cycle, and environmental demands to Helix’s application engineers or check out our calculators; these are used to analyze component fit. Your review can be connected to a configured screw, actuator, or full assembly.
What OEM design-in and integration scope is documented?
Helix works with you from concept to production on geometry, materials, coatings, and system integration. Our custom-engineering scope includes tailored diameters, leads, end-machining, nut types, actuation modules, and full assemblies for your next build.
What lifecycle support details are documented?
We offer you integration support and lifelong service. Our documented quality and lifecycle record includes our H10X coating’s ten-times lead-screw-nut life extension, ISO 9001 certification, and AS9100:2016 with Design certification.
How should Helix be compared with Tolomatic and Thomson?
Use your same application brief for each candidate, covering positioning accuracy, repeatability, load, motion profile, duty cycle, environmental demands, and the required integration configuration. Helix’s stated engineering inputs and custom-configuration scope provide the structure for recording our Helix design alongside the alternatives.
