Crash Test Equipment

Loading...



Precise Setup. Repeatable Motion. Trusted Results.



Crash testing is a cornerstone of automotive safety validation, requiring equipment that delivers highly repeatable motion and positioning under controlled, high-impact conditions. From sled systems to impact actuators, linear motion plays a critical role in staging, alignment, and data acquisition.



Helix Linear Technologies supplies the precision lead screws, ball screws, and linear actuators that power motion in crash test systems. Our components are used in positioning crash dummies, adjusting seating fixtures, deploying impact surfaces, and aligning sensors, ensuring each test is set up with accuracy and repeatability.



Designed for durability in high-shock and high-speed applications, Helix motion components help test labs maintain compliance with regulatory standards and streamline crash simulation workflows.



Key Benefits:



  • High-speed, high-force motion for impact testing and sled systems



  • Precision alignment of fixtures, crash dummies, and test surfaces



  • Durable, shock-resistant components built for extreme conditions



  • Customizable travel, force, and mounting options for test automation systems



Helix delivers the motion technology trusted in safety-critical environments by helping manufacturers test smarter, safer, and with confidence.
