Pneumatic-to-Electric Motion Conversion Systems
As chemical manufacturers modernize their facilities, many are replacing pneumatic cylinders with electric motion systems to gain better control, improve energy efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. Electric actuators offer smoother, more programmable motion making them ideal for next-generation process automation.
Greater Efficiency. Precise Control. Cleaner Automation.
Helix Linear Technologies provides the lead screws, ball screws, and linear actuators that enable this transition. Our components deliver precise, repeatable motion for applications that previously relied on compressed air such as valve control, tray indexing, mixing vessel positioning, and more.
Engineered for harsh process environments and long duty cycles, Helix solutions help OEMs and plant engineers build cleaner, smarter, and more responsive chemical manufacturing systems.
Key Benefits:
- Replaces air-driven systems with quiet, efficient electric actuation
- Enables fine control over speed, force, and position
- Reduces energy consumption and eliminates air leaks and compressors
- Ideal for retrofitting existing systems or designing new electric-first equipment
Helix powers the shift toward smarter motion, supporting the future of fully electric chemical process automation.
