Fine-Scale Motion for Advanced Manipulation

Helix produces miniature screws, guides, and actuators capable of driving delicate, multi-axis hand and finger movements in humanoid robots.



Helix Components That Enable Robotic Dexterity



Micro-lead screws, miniature linear guides, and low-profile micro-actuators deliver the control, repeatability, and low backlash required for grasping, rotating, and manipulating objects with human-like finesse.

Key Benefits:



  • High-resolution control for finger and wrist motion
  • Compact, lightweight components ideal for tight assemblies
  • Low backlash for smooth, coordinated movement
  • Precision engineered for dexterous manipulation tasks





Helix powers the fine-motion capabilities that bring humanoid hands to life.

Custom Motion Components for Robotics & Humanoid Robot OEMs

Robotics OEMs face growing demands for lighter, faster, and more intelligent motion systems, whether developing collaborative robots, humanoids, autonomous platforms, surgical robots, warehouse automation, or next-generation service robots. Helix Linear Technologies partners with robotics innovators to engineer precision lead screws, ball screws, linear actuators, and miniature motion systems that deliver smooth, accurate, and reliable performance in compact, high-duty environments.



Our engineering team collaborates directly with robotics designers to optimize motion components for weight reduction, footprint constraints, multi-axis synchronization, back-drivability, noise reduction, and long-life operation. Every component is built for integration by matching the joint, limb, actuator, or control mechanism of your robot with motion that is predictable, quiet, and exceptionally stable.



Key Benefits:



✦ Lightweight, high-precision motion systems ideal for humanoids, cobots, and autonomous robots

✦ Smooth, low-noise actuation optimized for joint modules, manipulators, end-effectors, and linear stages

✦ Custom diameters, leads, coatings, and materials to balance torque, load, speed, and efficiency

✦ Miniature and micro-precision options for compact robotic joints, sensor modules, grippers, and mobility systems

✦ High-duty-cycle reliability for continuous motion in industrial, commercial, and service environments



From robotic joints to mobility platforms, Helix delivers the precision motion technology that empowers smarter, faster, and more capable machines.
