Antenna Positioning and Tracking Systems
From ground-based communication stations to satellite uplinks and mobile broadcast units, antenna positioning and tracking systems are essential for maintaining strong, uninterrupted signal coverage. These systems require precision linear motion to align antennas accurately across azimuth and elevation axes, often under challenging environmental conditions.
Track Precisely. Connect Reliably. Move with Purpose.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies high-precision lead screws, ball screws, and linear actuators that provide smooth, repeatable motion for antenna pointing and tracking mechanisms. Our components are ideal for systems that demand sub-degree accuracy, low backlash, and long-term durability, supporting mission-critical telecom, satellite, and defense communication platforms.
With scalable solutions for fixed, mobile, and autonomous platforms, Helix components are trusted in everything from portable field stations to global ground networks.
Key Benefits:
- Smooth, precise motion for azimuth and elevation control
- Low-backlash screws and actuators for stable, drift-free pointing
- Weather-resistant materials for outdoor and remote deployment
- Customizable travel lengths, speeds, and mounting options
Helix delivers the motion behind the connection that helps your antennas align faster, hold tighter, and perform longer.
