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...

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...

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...
