Precision motion supports the equipment that keeps digital infrastructure operating. At Helix Linear Technologies, we help equipment manufacturers develop controlled, repeatable linear movement for data center cooling systems, service access mechanisms, and automated handling equipment.



Our lead screws, ball screws, linear actuators, and linear guidance products provide building blocks for moving, positioning, and accessing critical equipment. From compact adjustment mechanisms to guided service platforms, Helix components can be integrated into systems designed around demanding space, load, and maintenance requirements.



As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance computing reshape data center infrastructure, equipment designers face new mechanical challenges. Helix works with OEM engineering teams to develop motion solutions that fit their equipment architecture, supporting product development through production.





Capabilities for Additive Manufacturing Systems



  • Precision screws and actuators for controlled positioning and adjustment
  • Compact motion components for space-constrained equipment
  • Linear guidance for supported travel and service access
  • Custom screw lengths, end machining, nut configurations, and mounting arrangements
  • Engineering support for load, speed, duty cycle, and material selection



Build serviceability into your equipment. Simplify mechanical movement. Partner with Helix to develop the motion behind next-generation data center infrastructure.

Custom Motion Components for 3D Printing OEMs



Data center equipment must balance performance, packaging, and serviceability. The mechanisms that move a cooling module, align a connector, or position a service platform need to fit the complete system.



Helix Linear Technologies collaborates with OEM engineering teams to select and configure motion components around application requirements. Our product range supports both powered movement and guided manual access, giving designers options for developing equipment that is easier to position, integrate, and maintain.



From initial concepts to production assemblies, we help evaluate the mechanical details that influence performance, including axial loads, side loads, available space, travel, speed, backlash, and duty cycle.



Key Benefits:



  • Design flexibility: Configure motion components around equipment geometry and mounting requirements.
  • Controlled movement: Match screw and actuator options to positioning and travel needs.
  • Service access: Incorporate guided extension into maintenance-intensive equipment.
  • Compact integration: Develop motion mechanisms for constrained rack and enclosure spaces.
  • Engineering collaboration: Evaluate component selection early in the design process.



Bring Helix into your next data center equipment project to develop motion that supports practical integration and dependable mechanical performance.
