bearings also prevent stick slipping from
occurring at low speeds, thus ensuring
smooth movement and accurate
positioning of the vehicle bodies along the
assembly lines.
Tsubaki Liftmasters are commonly found
in automotive plants to transfer assembled
heavy components, such as engines,
transmissions, suspensions and vehicle
bodies to the next process.
Another configuration of lifter
made by Tsubaki is the Zip Chain
Actuator, a high speed device that
can raise components to the exact
level required for rapid yet precise
fixing to the vehicle body.

Quality is built into Tsubaki chains and
equipment from the very start, as the
company always chooses quality materials
from the best suppliers and uses advanced
manufacturing techniques.
The chains are designed for minimised
wear at the contact points between the
rollers and bushes and reduced elongation
(by as much as 50%) compared to
alternative products.
These properties design out unexpected
breakages and failures so that unplanned
down time is avoided. They also extend
the working life so that the replacement
frequency is reduced, which again leads to
less downtime and reduced total lifetime
costs.
