Sometimes big things come in small packages. This is especially true in mechanical design, where even the most minor, seemingly simple components, such as lead screws, can significantly impact the final product.
Lead screws are spurring growth and innovation in various linear motion applications and quickly becoming the preferred choice over ball screws among mechanical engineers for many reasons. The benefits of using Helix precision screws are low cost, no need for lubrication (lower maintenance), quieter operation, energy efficiency, and design flexibility.
While some applications may require a more costly technology such as ball screws, Helix Linear miniature precision lead screws are often an excellent fit. If you have never considered using a lead screw or if it has been a while since you have, take a look at our miniature precision screws. We can achieve an accuracy of up to .0003"/inch in a rolled screw product. A screw made by the rolling process is much less costly than a ground screw. Why pay for more accuracy than you need?
Helix Linear Technologies can further enhance your cost advantage by leveraging our years of screw engineering experience when it comes to your next application. You can get a Helix screw with virtually any diameter/lead combination and any custom end machining. We also have experience rolling screws and making lead nuts in a variety of materials. All this is done in our state-of-the-art 40,000-square-foot facility, where we employ today's leading manufacturing processes to drive lead screw innovation. We provide the highest precision, best-made screws available for your application.
Here's a closer look at how Helix Linear Technologies is leading the way in lead screw manufacturing:
Remember, your product will be judged by how well it performs and how long it lasts. So consider the source when it comes to procuring lead screws for your mechanical designs?
