Zip Chain Actuator (medium and large sizes) will be available from autumn 2022. Maximum thrust: 38.2 kN / maximum stroke: 5000 mm.

Innovative technology drives the times.

Born from Tsubaki's unique technology
"Zip Chain".

This innovative technology will change the workplace of manufacturing and logistics.

ZIP CHAIN REVOLUTION

Zip Chain delivers overwhelmingly high performance

This chain can be pushed and pulled, making full use of our chain technology, which boasts the world's largest market share. Two chains interlock like a zipper, forming one strong pillar.

Zip Chain

This movement is only possible with Zip Chain The technological capabilities that support this excellent device.

A unique structure that allows the two chains to maintain meshing.
It covers a wide range of thrust and realizes revolutionary "push and pull" that is also compatible with high-speed and high-frequency operation.

  • High speed and high frequency
    1,000mm/sec
  • durability
    Up to 6 million round trips
  • Compactness
    Up to 90 % lower floor
  • Easy maintenance
    Easy stroke adjustment

Compared to screw mechanisms and hydraulic/pneumatic mechanisms, it has overwhelmingly high performance. Compared to conventional linear motion mechanisms

I recommend it for these needs

  • Want to improve production efficiency

    High speed and high frequency

    • Want to perform high-cycle operation.
    • Want to quickly determine multiple stop positions
    • I want to operate with a short time cycle even at a high lift.
  • I want a machine with a long lifespan

    durability

    • I want to reduce the labor and costs involved in replacement work.
    • Durability that can withstand high frequency operation is required.
    • It has a high lift, long travel distance and a poor lifespan.
  • A more compact production line

    Compactness

    • I want to achieve a low-profile equipment design without digging a pit.
    • The installation space is small and difficult to install.
    • I want to install a lifter on the cart.
  • I want to reduce the hassle of maintenance

    Ease of use

    • It is difficult to change the oil regularly.
    • We want to reduce the burden on workers by making the work easier.
    • You want to avoid dangerous inspection work at high altitudes.

Tsubaki's lineup utilizing Zip Chain

Zip Chain Actuator ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR

Can be installed even in a small space,
A versatile linear actuator.

Zip Chain Actuator

Zip Chain can be stored in a compact case, achieving far greater space savings than conventional linear actuators. It supports high-speed, high-frequency operation and uses significantly less power than hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. It allows for highly accurate multi-point stopping and can be installed in any direction.

Zip Chain Lifter ZIP CHAIN LIFTER

Breakthrough high-speed lift
Table lifter realized.

対応領域

This revolutionary lifter uses Zip Chain to directly transmit lifting thrust. It allows for high-speed lifting 3 to 10 times faster than hydraulic lifters, is suitable for frequent operation, and achieves energy savings of up to 50%.

Zip Master

Supports Long travel length,
A cantilever electric lifter with a wide range of uses.

Zip Master

This is a cantilevered electric High-speed lifter that integrates Zip Chain, linear guide, and motor. Unlike conventional lifts that require assembly work, Zip Master 's "plug and play type" design means you can simply place it and use it. Its high speed, high frequency, and high lift allow for a wide range of applications.
