Your Drive
Inline Rotary Drive
In certain configurations—particularly when there are requirements for speed and/or torque—a module with an integrated motor has been recommended.
The difference, therefore, is that to change modules (from reciprocating to rotary, for example), it is necessary to uninstall the module with it motor from the stage.
- Open the upper back door of the MFT-5000.
- Insert the motor drive on the stage.
- Secure it with 6 x 8-32 x .375” BM310280-05 9/64
- Connect the 2 cables on the slot behind the right frame.

- Route the drive cable through the X Y stage.
- Position and insert the motor drive through the stage.
- Orient the drive so the green sensor port faces the right side.
Secure the drive with 7 x SHCS 8-32 X .625" long screws
(310-280-05 / BM310280-09)
(310-280-05 / BM310280-09)
Connect the 2 cables on the slot on the right, behind the frame (the Motor Power Chord and the Encoder Chord).
Always power off the instrument before connecting cables or installing any

Overview → Rotary Ambient Dry Test
The Rotary drive is used across a wide range of tests, used as a base module to complete several other modules
The drive is mounted on the XY stage using the fast exchange drive. The tribometer allows to run both rotary drive and XY stage at same time which can be programmed independently. Various rotary drives torque and speed ratings allows it to cover wide range of test conditions.
Typically the sample is mounted on the rotary drive using standard universal disk holder.

Direct Sample Disk Mounting
Ensure the thread adapter and the centering pin are mounted onto the rotary table disk. Dowel pins are in the tool hardware kit.
Pin: 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin - BM280103-04. Thread adapter - BM430001.
Pin: 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin - BM280103-04. Thread adapter - BM430001.
- The Sample Disk should be aligned with the dowel pin to avoid any disk
wobbling during test.
- Disk mounted on rotary table by aligning with Dowel Pin and tightening
the center 6/32 sample disk screw with the 5/32" Allen key.
You can mount the sample disk directly onto the rotary table if this option was not purchased or if your sample has been properly prepared for this purpose.
- Mount the Universal Sample holder onto the rotary table.
- Secure it with the 6, 4-40 X .250" using a 3/32" Allen key.
Sample holder screw provided in the toolbox.
4-40 X .250" LG PLAIN 18-8 SST SHCS screws
- Place the sample in the middle of the holder.
Use the centering lines to grossly center
Securing the sample disk
- Loosen the 3 gripper's screws
2. Place the fine securing screw in the “Free Position”:
- Slide the 3 grippers in contact with the sample.
- Once the sample is positioned, tighten the 3 gripper's screws.
- Finally, tighten the fine screw until it is pushing the sample, preventing any rotation during the test.
Liquid Ambient Test
Remove the Rotary Table
- Using a 9/64" Allen key, remove the existing sample holder disk to prepare for the chamber installation.
- Remove the thread adapter with a flat screwdriver.
Turn it counterclockwise like a screw to remove it.
- Remove also the pin from the rotary table disk.
From the other side of the disk, push the pin out using a 0.050" Allen key.
The pin is a 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin, part number BM280103-04.
The thread adapter is part number BM430001.
The thread adapter is part number BM430001.
Install the Chamber Housing
- Position the chamber housing onto the rotary drive with the two dowel pins positioned along the Y-Axis.
- Secure the housing using six 4-40 X .250” screws using a 3/32" Allen key.
SHCS 4-40 X .250" LG PLAIN 18-8 SST SHCSBM310240-03
Re-Mount the Rotary Table
- Insert a long 1⁄4-20 bolt in the center of the rotary table to help lower and
position the table into the liquid container housing.
- Once seated, remove the temporary screw and re-screw the three rotary
table screws with the 9/64" Allen key.
Mount the Liquid Chamber
- Place the liquid chamber onto the housing.
- Secure it by tightening the six captive screws with the 3/32" Allen key.
Sample Mounting
- Align the sample with the pin and place it in the liquid chamber.
- Use the BM312-241-04 screw and 3/32" Allen key to secure the sample in position.
The Universal sample holder which can accommodate any circular sample is not compatible with the liquid container.
Chamber Cover Installation
- Install the brass cover with the opening along the Y-axis. The two slots in the brass lid will align with the two dowl pins on the housing.
Align the cover with the two dowel pins on the liquid chamber.
- Screw in the six Liquid Chamber Cover Screws - BM310-220-04 to secure the lid to the housing.

Liquid Test
Ici présentation de la partie: ne concerne que ceux qui ont acheté le 500°C et le liquid container, pour réaliser des tests avec une grande quantité de liquid à temperature >ambiente.
Remove the Rotary Table
- Using a 9/64" Allen key, remove the existing sample holder disk to prepare for the chamber installation.
- Remove the thread adapter with a flat screwdriver.
Turn it counterclockwise like a screw to remove it.
- Remove also the pin from the rotary table disk.
From the other side of the disk, push the pin out using a 0.050" Allen key.
The pin is a 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin, part number BM280103-04.
The thread adapter is part number BM430001.
The thread adapter is part number BM430001.
Mount the Lower Extension
- Align the lower extension with its mounting position.
- Secure it using three 8-32 screws (BM310280-4) and a 9/64" Allen key.
Mount the 500°C Chamber
- Position the chamber on the extension. The fans facing towards the front.
- Insert two 4-40 screws (BM310240-3) into the front and back holes.
- Tighten using a 3/32" Allen key.
Re-Mount the Rotary Table
- Insert a long ¼-20 bolt in the center of the rotary table to help lower and position the table into the chamber.
- Place the rotary table inside the chamber.
- Once seated, remove the temporary screw and re-screw the three rotary table screws with the 9/64" Allen key.
Mount the Liquid Chamber
- If available, place the liquid chamber onto the housing.
- Secure it by tightening the six captive screws with the 3/32" Allen key.
- Align the cover with the two dowel pins on the heating chamber.
- Install the brass cover with the opening along the Y-axis. The two slots in the brass lid will align with the two dowl pins on the housing
In this case, the brass cover is positioned with no screws.
Sample Mounting
Ensure the thread adapter and the centering pin are mounted onto the rotary table disk. Dowel pins are in the tool hardware kit.
Pin: 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin - BM280103-04. Thread adapter - BM430001.
Pin: 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin - BM280103-04. Thread adapter - BM430001.
- The Sample Disk should be aligned with the dowel pin to avoid any disk
wobbling during test.
- Disk mounted on rotary table by aligning with Dowel Pin and tightening
the center 6/32 sample disk screw with the 5/32" Allen key.
- Place the sample disk on the holder.
- Fasten with one 4-40 screw using a 5/32" Allen key.
Secure the Top Cover
- Place the cover on the chamber.
- Tighten the cap using the four built-in thumb screws.
Connect the Temperature Cable
- Plug in the temperature cable and thermocouple to the chamber.
- Plug in the other side of the temperature cable and thermocouple to the tester.
