Rolling Mill Gauge Positioners
In both hot and cold rolling operations, the ability to precisely adjust the roll gap is essential for achieving accurate material thickness and surface finish. Gauge positioners must deliver powerful, controlled motion under extreme forces and harsh conditions while maintaining tight tolerances over continuous runs.
Adjust with Force. Control Thickness. Drive Precision Rolling.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies heavy-duty linear actuators, lead screws, and ball screws engineered for rolling mill gauge control. Our motion systems offer robust load capacity, smooth travel, and long-term repeatability to empower operators to fine-tune rolling pressure in real time for improved flatness and uniformity.
Built for industrial-scale environments, Helix components withstand vibration, temperature shifts, and steel mill contaminants while maintaining consistent performance and minimal maintenance.
Key Benefits:
- High-force actuators maintain consistent roll gap and material thickness
- Precision screws ensure stable, repeatable motion under dynamic loading
- Corrosion- and wear-resistant materials for mill environments
- Custom stroke lengths and mounting options for integration with legacy or modern mills
Helix delivers the motion that keeps your rolling line in spec to enable precise, reliable gauge control at every pass.
