Telescoping Linear Guide Rails
Helix Telescoping Linear Guide Rails are designed for industrial applications that demand high rigidity, smooth motion, and space-efficient design. These precision rails provide telescopic extension up to or beyond the length of the retracted body, enabling large stroke travel while maintaining a minimal footprint when idle.
Compact When Idle. Extended When Needed. Engineered for Heavy-Duty Precision.
Engineered for Your Application
- Constructed with cold‐drawn steel and induction hardened ball‐raceways in a four-point bearing contact structure for torsional rigidity and minimal deflection.
- Available in two main styles: Partial Extension (HTPE) for compact motion with roughly ½ or more stroke, and Full Extension (HTDB) for full-length travel up to or beyond the rail’s body.
- High load‐capacity and designed for rugged duty cycles that is capable of handling loads (per pair) up to ~3,800 kg in demanding environments.
- Customizable stroke lengths, rail heights, mounting patterns and finishes which enables integration across automation, packaging, logistics, aerospace and heavy equipment systems.
Ideal for Multiple Industries
From mobile equipment, machine-doors, logistics conveyors and CNC enclosures to aerospace seating systems and heavy manufacturing access mechanisms, telescoping rails from Helix deliver a blend of compact form‐factor and extended motion capability that supports modern automated systems.
Why Choose Helix for Telescoping Guide Rails?
- U.S.-based design and manufacturing headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio, offering traceability, rapid prototyping, and strong engineering support.
- Dedicated application engineering assistance to specify correct rail size, extension style, load rating, and mounting for optimal performance.
- Broad configuration flexibility so your design drives the solution, not the solution forcing you to redesign.
