- Zip Chains / Lifters
Zip Chain Lifter®
Realizes an innovative table lifter thanks to its high-speed lifting.
The Zip Chain Lifter directly transmits lifting thrust through Zip Chains.
Operates 3 to 10 times faster than hydraulic lifters. Supports high-frequency operation, which provides a maximum of 50% energy savings.

Features of Zip Chain Lifter
Zip Chain Lifter works through Tsubaki's original Zip Chain mechanism and features high-speed, high-frequency and long service life. It achieves superior operation than hydraulic lifters.
- High-speed
-
Achieves high-speed operation at a maximum lifting speed of 100m/min. This lifter works through a mechanism that directly pushes up the lift table at a stable speed in proportion to motor rpm, enabling lifting operation at a constant speed. Synchronized operation of multiple lifters is also possible.
Zip Chain Lifter
It maintains a stable speed through the entire stroke range.
Hydraulic Lifter
The speed varies throughout the stroke, as hydraulic lifter moves up and down at a slant to lift the top table.
- High-frequency operation
-
Unlike with hydraulic lifters, the Zip Chain Lifter does not need to increase the tank capacity of hydraulic units for higher-frequency operation.
Supports high-speed operation such as continuous lifting at a rate of one lift cycle per minute thanks to its efficient operation.
- Stopping accuracy
-
Easily realizes multi-point stopping/multi-level positioning thanks to its simple control structure.
- Expected life
-
The Zip Chain Lifter has a mechanism that directly pushes the lift table, which places a smaller load on the hinges/rollers and enables longer life (over one million strokes).
