Linear Actuator

overview

When we were considering introducing a monorail transport system to transport a variety of engine parts from the sub-line to the main line, we decided to use two Zip Chain Actuator for the entrance and exit lifting mechanisms.


Problem

A stroke of nearly 3m was required for transferring the product to the monorail transport system, but due to installation space limitations, we were looking for a product that was as compact as possible.


Adopted products

Zip Chain Actuator

The interlocking chain (Zip Chain) is a chain developed exclusively by our company in which two chains interlock like a zipper to form one strong rod that can be "pushed and pulled."

Zip Chain Actuator is a completely new linear actuator that uses this mechanism.

Zip Chain can be stored in a compact case, achieving overwhelming space savings compared to conventional linear actuator.

It is compatible with high-speed, high-frequency operation and uses significantly less power than hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. It is capable of high-precision multi-point stopping and can be installed in any direction.


Benefits of adopting the product

By using Zip Chain Actuator, we were able to install a lifter without creating a pit, even with Long travel length.

Furthermore, by using two Zip Chain Actuator in series, as introduced in the catalog, we were able to select from a lineup of standard strokes.
