ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR Meshing chain linear motion

The ability to store Zip Chains in a compact case helps save overall space compared with conventional linear actuators. compared with conv ntional red onve actuators. ctua o tuato With support for high-speed, high-frequency operation, Zip Chain Actuators consume significantly less power than hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders. Multi-point stopping with high precision is also possible, and installation direction is not limited. End fitting is integrated with the Zip Chain. This enables mounting for lifting or suspending. Drive section The engagement of the Zip Chain and Tsubaki’s special sprocket ensures...

Compact design Reduced space The height of the chain case is about 1/10 of the stroke, and with its integrated drive structure this compact unit can be installed in narrow spaces. Up to smaller than the stroke ・Model: ZCA45M200EL040H60 ・Pneumatic cylinder ・Hydraulic cylinder Stroke: 2,000 mm High speed Multi-point stopping Achieves a maximum speed of d 1,000mm/sec during high speed operation, which far n exceeds the speeds seen in screw type cylinders and hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders. ers. Servo motors enable high precision multi-point stopping and continuous operation. Maximum speed Duty factor...

APPLICATIONS Compact design ideal for low height application and saving space The compact structure of the Zip Chain Actuator enables various installation options—including lifting, horizontal, and suspending installation. Use for a wide range of applications requiring linear operation. Pallet transfer device High speed High frequency Workpieces are raised and lowered for transferring using an arm powered by the Zip Chain Actuator. Pallet transfer ● Can be installed in the small space on the ceiling side. ● Reduces the cycle time for conveyance by allowing for lifting at high speed Parts tray...

ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR Thrust Speed/ Thrust Range Screw jacks ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR Container sorting equipment High speed Zip Chain Actuators can be used to move traversers horizontally and to raise or lower chucking units vertically. Sort and transfer containers to each conveyor ● Horizontal and suspending installations are possible without protruding parts, enabling a lower overall height. ● Accurate multi-point stopping even with horizontal transfers High lifting equipment High speed Workpieces on a lower conveyor can be pushed up to an upper conveyor using the Zip Chain Actuator. High lifting at...

Conversion From Hydraulic/Pneumatic Mechanisms Compared with hydraulic and pneumatic drive systems, motorized models are environmentally friendly, have a simple design, and are easy to maintain, all while providing significantly improved performance. LCA-approved ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR Tsubaki Zip Chain Actuators offer significantly reduced power consumption compared to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. These environmentally friendly linear actuators have been recognized for their energy conservation. Life Cycle Assessment is a comprehensive method for evaluating the environmental impact at all...

Simple and Easy to Maintain Grease is used as the lubricant for the Zip Chain, eliminating the risk of oil leaking from the main unit or piping, as with hydraulic cylinders. In addition, the drive source is connected only by cables, simplifying maintenance by eliminating hydraulic piping. Comparison of system configuration Hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders With hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, the system conversion efficiency from the power supplied to operation is very low due to the complicated configuration of the system. ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR With Zip Chain Actuators, the system conversion efficiency...

Comparing Conventional Linear Motion Mechanisms Compared with screw jacks and hydraulic/pneumatic mechanisms, Zip Chain Actuators offer incredibly superior performance. Speed/frequency ZIP CHAIN ACTUATOR Even during high-speed operation, the chains mesh together smoothly, and ZCA can achieve speeds of 1,000 mm/sec. Even during high-frequency operation, heat generation is minimized, no duty factor restrictions are applied, and continuous operation is possible. Zip Chains offer excellent wear resistance with no elongation of chains used in power transmission or transportation, ensuring a long service...
