Convertible Roof and Sunroof Motion Systems
Smooth Retraction. Silent Operation. Elevated Design.
Convertible roof and sunroof systems enhance both the style and functionality of today’s vehicles by delivering open-air freedom and improved cabin ventilation with the push of a button. These systems require compact, quiet, and durable linear motion to operate reliably through thousands of open-close cycles.
Helix Linear Technologies provides precision lead screws and miniature linear actuators that drive the motion behind these advanced roof systems. Our components offer smooth, low-noise operation, compact profiles for tight packaging, and long-lasting performance under temperature swings, vibration, and weather exposure.
Whether used in soft-top convertibles, panoramic sunroofs, or luxury retractable panels, Helix motion components help automakers deliver a seamless and refined user experience.
Key Benefits:
- Quiet, vibration-free actuation for premium interior comfort
- Compact actuator designs for tight installation spaces
- Weather-resistant materials and coatings for outdoor exposure
- High repeatability and reliability for extended product life cycles
Helix motion systems bring elegance and engineering together, supporting the seamless motion your customers expect from every open and close.
