Linear Extension and Retraction Axes
Telescoping arms, reach modules, and sliding mechanisms in robotics require compact footprints, high rigidity, and accurate extension under load.
Compact Motion. Long Reach. Dependable Control.
Helix Linear Technologies designs the high-strength actuators, telescoping rails, and precision screws that enable smooth, synchronized extension and retraction for robotic systems.
Helix Products That Support Extended-Reach Robotics
Our telescoping linear guide rails, lead-screw actuators, and custom screw assemblies provide rigid, repeatable axial travel in compact spaces. These components are ideal for robotic arms, gantry extensions, tool changers, and modular positioning systems.
Key Benefits:
- Rigid linear motion for extend/retract functions
- Smooth travel with precision guidance under load
- Configurable stroke lengths for compact or long-reach designs
- Reliable performance in repetitive, high-duty cycles
Helix delivers the dependable motion behind robotic reach and extension.
