Lead Screws
Controlled Deployment. Trusted Performance. Built to Withstand.
Thrust reversers play a critical role in aircraft deceleration during landing, redirecting engine thrust to reduce runway distance and improve braking efficiency. These systems require linear motion components that can withstand extreme axial loads, high vibration, and elevated temperatures, all while delivering smooth, reliable deployment and retraction.
Helix Linear Technologies provides precision-engineered ball screw assemblies specifically designed for thrust reverser actuation. Our components offer exceptional strength, temperature resistance, and positional accuracy, making them ideal for commercial, military, and cargo aircraft platforms.
Built to aerospace-grade specifications, Helix thrust reverser screws are custom-tailored to meet the load, speed, and safety requirements of turbine-powered aircraft.
Key Benefits:
Trust Helix to power the systems that slow you down safely, reliably, and with the precision modern aviation demands.
