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, 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.
- Proven in heavy-duty, continuous performance systems where precision, life-cycle and integration matter most.
Space-saving when retracted. Stable and rigid when extended.
