Zip Chain Actuator​

Product Photos
  • Unprecedented high-speed, high-frequency, low-profile, long-life actuator
  • Zip Chain Actuator is an actuator that performs linear motion by interlocking two chains like a zipper.
  • The compact body design achieves overwhelming space savings compared to conventional linear actuator.
  • It is compatible with high-speed and high-frequency operation and is capable of highly accurate multi-point stopping.
  • Compared to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, it can significantly reduce the amount of power used, contributing to energy conservation.
  • We can also handle medium and large sizes with a maximum thrust of 38.2 kN and a maximum stroke of 5000 mm.
  • For more information, click here
  • We also have a lineup of models with an integrated drive unit.
  • With Hypoid Motor With TERVO reducer for servo motor

Structure

End fitting: Integrated with Zip Chain, it can be installed either by pushing up or hanging.

Drive unit: Our unique sprocket and Zip Chain together to transmit power efficiently.

Storage section: The chain sliding section is smooth and can be stored in a compact chain case.

Features

compact

The chain case is low, about 1/10 the height of the stroke, and by integrating it with the drive unit, it becomes even more compact, allowing it to be installed in a small space.

ストロークに対し最大90%低床化

High speed

A maximum of 1000mm/sec is achieved during high-speed operation.
It surpasses the speed of screw-type and oil/pneumatic cylinders.

最大速度1,000mm/sec

Multi-point stop

The use of a servo motor enables highly accurate multi-point stopping and continuous operation.

負荷時間率100%ED

long life

It has excellent wear resistance, does not stretch the chain, and has an expected travel distance of 4,000 km.

期待走行距離4,000km

Free installation direction

It can be freely installed in the direction that suits your needs, such as lifting, horizontally, or hanging.
