Product Info High-speed lifter
Tsubaki's High-speed lifters are environmentally friendly electric lifters, and you can choose between Zip Chain mechanism or a screw mechanism.
The lineup includes scissor-type table lifters and post-type cantilever lifters.
The table lifter uses Zip Chain mechanism, allowing for high-speed, high-frequency operation and lifting.
The cantilever lifter has a slim structure with a guide built into a highly rigid frame, which not only saves space but also reduces the design and installation time.
* Zip Chain mechanism is our proprietary technology in which two chains interlock like a zipper to form a single, strong pillar that can be used for both pushing and pulling.

Two types of lifters available
1.Scissor lifter
[Zip Chain Lifter] An innovative scissor lifter that uses Zip Chain
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.
Overview of the device
Comparison with other methods
| Zip Chain Lifter | Electric/Hydraulic Lifter |

Efficient transmission driveThe Zip Chain directly presses the top plate, so the motor torque is transmitted without waste. Exceptional durabilityWith the Zip Chain Lifter, the weight and thrust of the lifting section are supported by the Zip Chain, so no large forces are applied to the scissors hinges, rollers or bearings. |
Electric and hydraulic lifters require a large amount of power (1/sinθ times the lifting thrust) to be pushed up at an angle by the cylinder when starting from the lowest point. (example)  |
2.Cantilever lifter
[Zip Master] A Zip Chain type cantilever lifter that can be raised and lowered quickly with plug and play
[Lift Master] Ball screw / Trapezoidal Screw type cantilever lifter that enables high-precision lifting viaplug and play.

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.
The Zip Master has an integrated structure, making it easy to assemble and install the device.
In addition, since the drive unit is located on the floor side, inspection and maintenance work is safe and easy.
High-speed lifter product list
Zip Chain Lifter is a table-type lifter that transmits lifting thrust directly via Zip Chain mechanism.
This is an innovative lifter that can directly transmit lifting thrust using Zip Chain.
Zip Chain directly pushes the top plate, so the motor torque is transmitted without waste, and Zip Chain supports the mass and thrust of the lifting section, so no large forces are applied to the hinges, rollers or bearings of the scissors, resulting in outstanding durability.
The simple control configuration makes it easy to achieve multi-point stopping and multi-stage positioning.
