Wind Tunnel Test Fixtures
Refined Motion. Repeatable Testing. Aerodynamic Precision.
Wind tunnel testing is essential for evaluating vehicle aerodynamics, thermal dynamics, and component durability under simulated real-world conditions. Test fixtures must deliver ultra-precise, repeatable positioning to ensure consistent data collection and valid performance benchmarks.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies the high-precision linear motion components that support this process. Our lead screws, ball screws, and linear actuators are used in positioning platforms, probe mounts, and aerodynamic alignment tools within wind tunnel environments. Engineered for low backlash and high repeatability, Helix motion systems ensure that every test run begins with exact alignment.
Our components are customizable to fit the size, load, and environmental requirements of automotive wind tunnel applications.
Key Benefits:
- Precision positioning for aerodynamic testing fixtures and probes
- Low-backlash motion components ensure accurate, repeatable test setups
- Engineered for use in temperature-controlled and vibration-sensitive environments
- Scalable solutions for full-vehicle, component, or scale-model testing
Helix motion solutions help deliver the data you can trust and powering the fixtures that shape the future of vehicle performance.
