Satellite Ground Station Feed Horn Positioners
In satellite ground stations, the feed horn is the focal point for receiving and transmitting signals between earth and orbit. Precise positioning of the feed horn is essential for maximizing signal strength, minimizing interference, and maintaining continuous communication with satellites in motion.
Point Accurately. Align Reliably. Communicate Without Interruption.
Helix Linear Technologies provides high-precision lead screws and linear actuators used in feed horn positioning systems. Our motion components enable fine adjustments in focus, elevation, and alignment, supporting parabolic dish systems, tracking antennas, and Ka-, Ku-, or X-band communication arrays.
Designed for outdoor environments and long-duration performance, Helix motion solutions help ground station integrators deliver the mechanical accuracy required for reliable, high-speed satellite links.
Key Benefits:
- Sub-degree alignment accuracy for optimal signal reception and transmission
- Smooth, vibration-free actuation for stable feed horn movement
- Corrosion- and weather-resistant materials for long-term outdoor use
- Customizable motion profiles and mounting configurations for tracking systems
Helix powers the motion that keeps satellite ground stations locked in, ensuring secure, continuous communication from earth to orbit.
