High-speed lifters
Tsubaki's High-Speed Lifter is an eco-friendly electric type, and can be selected from Zip Chain mechanism and screw mechanism.
Lineup of scissor type table lifters and post type cantilever lifters are available.
The table lifter uses a Zip Chain mechanism for high-speed, high-frequency operation and lifting.
The cantilever lifter has a slim structure with guides built into a rigid frame, which not only saves space but also reduces design and installation man-powers.
※Zip Chain mechanism is our original technology in which two chains interlock like a zipper to form a single, strong column that can be used by 'pushing and pulling'.

Lineup of two types of lifters
1.Scissor lifter
【Zip Chain Lifter 】Revolutionary scissor lifter with zip chain
What is Zip Chain ?
- High-speed, high-frequency operations
- Multi-point stopping function
- Save overall space
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.
Zip Chain Actuator has been developed as a linear actuator products using this chain.
Compared to conventional pneumatic / hydraulic cylinders, this has many features including environmental considerations such as space saving, high-speed / high-frequency operation, multi-point stop function, high stopping accuracy, and free mounting direction. Widely used from small actuators to large lifters.
Basic Structure
Comparison with other lifting methods
Zip Chain Lifter | Electric and hydraulic lifters |
---|---|
Efficient transmission driveThe zip chain pushes the top plate directly, ensuring the motor torque is transmitted efficiently. Exceptional durabilityWith the zip chain lifter, the mass and thrust of the lifting mechanism is supported directly by zip chain, preventing excessive force from being applied to the scissor arm hinges, rollers, and bearings. |
When lifting from the lowest position, electric and hydraulic cylinders push the lifter in a diagonal direction and require a large amount of power (1/sin θ times the lifting thrust). (ex. ) |
2. Cantilever type lifter
【Zip Master 】Plug and play type zip chain type cantilever lifter capable of high-speed lifting.
【LIFT MASTER 】Plug and play type ball screw / trapezoidal screw type cantilever lifter capable of high precision lifting.

Comparison with drop lifters
Conventional vertical transfer lifters require on-site equipment assembly as well as scaffolding on the top for installing and inspecting the drive section.
The Zip Master’s integrated structure simplifies assembly and installation.
In addition, the drive section is located on the bottom, enabling safe and simple inspection and maintenance.
Product Lineup for High-speed lifters
Lift master is a plug and play type cantilever lifter that allows overhang and lateral load.
No assembly required, just install directly on the floor, simply attach the arm and connect the power supply to the motor for immediate use.
Screw shaft and guide are compactly built in a highly rigid frame to support cantilevered loads (overhung loads).
Use ball screw type for applications where high speed, high frequency and long life are expected, and use self-locking feature, economical trapezoidal screw type for applications where low speed, low frequency and load retention are main requirements.
