The products HRD Thailand, a general trading company for industrial machinery, recommends is the “Zip Chain Actuator” made by Tsubakimoto Chain (Hereinafter called “TSUBAKI”), a machinery manufacturer based in Osaka and the “Zip Chain Lifter”, a lifting device that adopted the Zip Chain Actuator.
A revolutionary chain capable of “pushing” and “pulling” using TSUBAKI’s technology.
The linear actuators that adopted this chain are active in various places from automobile production lines to logistics and stage production. It was named “Zip” because 2 chains mesh like a zipper. It is an environmentally friendly actuator in the coming era.
Speaking of linear actuators, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators were the most popular in the past. The mechanism is simple and versatile, and even if it is broken, there are plenty of alternative parts. They have been used in many production lines and various sites.
However, these hydraulic and pneumatic linear actuators also have disadvantages.
They require the space to put auxiliary equipment such as hydraulic pumps and compressors, and wiring. In addition, hydraulic system easily have oil leaks, and a pneumatic system requires a large amount of electric power to compress air.
In recent years, companies have become more aware of environmental protection, and there are more people asking to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) as much as possible, not only in Japan but also in Thailand.
TSUBAKI’s Zip Chain Actuator was born in the background of these needs. It can be said that it is a linear actuator in the environmental-friendly era and an earth-friendly actuator. This product has the following features.
1Compact
Lowering the floor up to 90% against the stroke enables installation in narrow spaces.
2.High-speed operation
Realize a maximum speed of 1,000mm/sec, overwhelmingly superior to screw type or hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders.
3.Multi-point stop
Using a servo motor enables multistage high-accuracy stops. Duty factor 100%ED.
4.Long life
Expected mileage 4,000km! No chain elongation, excellent wear resistance.
5.Free installation direction
Without any restriction on the installation direction, it can be installed freely in the direction suitable for the usage such as lifting, horizontal or hanging.
We have already received many inquiries and the number of orders has been increasing. Some people are worried about installation costs, but if you consider the total cost including electricity cost, it can be installed at an advantageous price. Since we carry out stable production according to the plan, we can handle installation with a short delivery time.
The Zip Chain Actuator is clean and high accurate and active in various places including production lines for things such as automobiles. For example, as a pallet transfer device, stacking/unstacking operation, high-speed work sorting and unloading of goods in distribution warehouses. There is no limit on the usage and there will be use cases in new sites in the future.
