Zip Master
- Zip Chain adopted cantilever type Electric Lifter
- - High-speed driving
It is capable of high speed lifting and lowering at a maximum of 1000mm/s (60m/min). - - High frequency operation
High frequency operation is possible even with multiple stops. - ・Long lifespan
It has a long life of 1 million lifting movements and is easy to maintain. - ・High lift

What is Zip Chain?
- High-speed, high-frequency operation
- Multi-point stop function
- By far the most space-saving
Zip Chain is a chain developed exclusively by our company, in which two chains interlock like a zipper to form one strong pillar that can be pushed and pulled.
The Tsubaki Zip Chain Actuator is a commercialized linear actuator that uses this chain.
Compared to conventional pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, they have many features, including environmental friendliness, such as space saving, high speed and high frequency operation, multi-point stopping function, high stopping accuracy, and freedom of installation direction, and are used in a wide range of applications from small actuators to large lifters.

Self-standing type with excellent rigidity even with Long travel length
It uses a compact yet highly rigid support column. It has a built-in linear guide, so it can withstand overhang loads even with Long travel length.
- ・High lift: Supports over 2000mm
- -High rigidity: Uses the same linear guide as Lift Master
Easy installation of the "plug and play type reduces assembly time
"plug and play type that integrates Zip Chain, linear guide, and motor
Unlike conventional elevators, which require a lot of design and assembly time, Zip Master can be used simply by placing it.
* Can also be used as a vertical conveyor.
Multi-point stopping and multi-stage positioning
Zip Master 's simple control configuration makes it easy to achieve multi-point stopping and multi-stage positioning.
Structure and comparison with other methods
■ Unique internal structure
Comparison with drop lifter
Conventional vertical transport lifters require on-site assembly, and scaffolding must be set up on the ceiling to install and inspect the drive unit.
Zip Master 's one-piece structure makes it easy to assemble and install, and the drive unit is located on the floor, making inspection and maintenance safe and easy.
For a comparison of Zip Chain mechanism and the screw mechanism, please see here.

Points to note when considering Zip Master
- - Because Zip Master has a fast lifting speed, inverter control is required and sufficient acceleration and deceleration time must be provided.
Sudden acceleration or stopping may result in a decrease in stopping accuracy or vibration of the workpiece.
If Zip Master vibrates when starting and stopping due to the installation surface, arm rigidity, or load conditions, please use it with a longer acceleration/deceleration time.
Also, if you want to reduce the amount of vibration, consider fixing the top of Zip Master.
- ・ Zip Master 's nominal speed is the maximum speed.
When calculating the lift time, please include the acceleration and deceleration time in the calculation.
- ・Servo motor drive is recommended when further reductions in lifting time, high frequency operation, multi-point positioning, linked operation, etc. are required.
Please contact us as we can accommodate your desired servo motor manufacturer.
- - A large regenerative current is generated when descending, so please provide an inverter regenerative resistor with sufficient capacity based on your usage conditions.
Please consult the inverter manufacturer regarding the capacity of the regenerative resistor.
- ・We recommend using an inverter with a capacity one frame larger than the motor.
- - Create a sequence that activates the brake when the inverter trips.
- ・ Zip Master uses a motor with a non-excitation brake.
If you are providing your own motor as a servo motor, please use the brake-equipped keyway shaft specification.
In addition, please prepare a fall prevention mechanism in case of an accidental fall.
We can also manufacture special-order drop prevention pins.
