Zip Chain Actuators
- The zip chain actuator has been developed as a linear actuator products using a zip chain.
- Zip Chain is a chain uniquely developed by Tsubaki. Two chains interlock like a zipper to form a single, strong column for pushing and pulling applications.
- Medium and large sizes with a maximum thrust of 38.2 kN / maximum stroke of 5000 mm are also available.

Construction
Zip Chain /End fitting
The end fixture is integrated with Zip Chains, allowing for both lifting and hanging installations.
Drive section
The engagement of our unique sprockets and Zip Chains effectively transmits power.
Housing section
The sliding section of the chains enables smooth and compact storage in the chain case.

The height of the chain case is about 1/10 lower than the stroke, and with its drive-integrated structure this compact unit can be installed in narrow spaces.
Comparison with hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders
Achieves a maximum speed of 1,000mm/sec during high speed operation, which far outstrips the speeds seen in screw type cylinders and hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders.
Servo motors enable high precision multi-point stopping and continuous operation.
Features superb wear resistance and less chain elongation, which gives it an expected travel distance of 4,000km.
Can be freely installed in any direction to meet any customer need, such as lifting, horizontal movement, and hanging.
All sizes are available with hypoid motor.
The reduced number of parts allows for easy assembly/selection.
Enables a compact structure and high-speed positioning with servo motors.
