Direct Rotary Drive Installation Step
Please skip this step if your drive is already installed onto the XY stage.
As shown above, the drive is installed on the stage.

- 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
load cell or accessory.

Linear Reciprocating Drive [reci,srv]-
- Position the reciprocating drive on the base.
Ensure that the black connector below the module is properly aligned and connects with the green connector on the base.
- Use two 8-32 screws (BM310280-12) to secure the reciprocating drive.
- Adjustable Stroke length: 0.1-30 mm
- Frequency: 0.1-80 Hz ( 80 Hz @ 1 mm, 60 Hz @ 2 mm, 20 Hz @ 25 mm).
- The maximum allowable frequency is determined by the current stroke length. The respective limits must not be exceeded.
- Some reciprocating drives are not fully covered by this specification, e.g., SPN04316 – up to 15 Hz. Please refer to your packaging list if unsure or unaware of this information, or contact Rtec Support for assistance.
- (Option) LVDT Linear Encoder Range: 25.4 mm (+/- 12.7 mm); Resolution: 1 um
- On the MFT Software , disable the drive by clicking on the ON button.
- Drive disabled, turn the central shaft until the stroke adjusting assembly appears through the front opening of the module.
- Using a 5/64” Allen wrench, loosen the brake screws on both sides
- Insert a 9/64” Allen wrench into the center adjustment screw to adjust the stroke length.
- Measure the amplitude with the LVDT if available in your configuration, a ruler or a dial gauge while the drive motion is on.
- After adjusting, re-tighten the brakes with the 5/64” Allen wrench.
Technical Linear Drive Specification
When using the reciprocating system in combination with the LVDT, the stroke length limitation becomes 25.4 mm. The stroke length cannot be measured beyond this value.
All Models and SPN
SPN | Model Specifications |
SPN04324 | Fast reciprocating drive - Adjustable Stroke length: 0.1-30 mm; Frequency：0.1-80 Hz ( 80Hz @ 1mm, 60hz @ 2mm，40 Hz @ 13 mm ，20 Hz @ 25mm ，10Hz+ @ 30mm ) . |
SPN04325 | Fast reciprocating drive - Adjustable Stroke length: 0.1-30 mm; Frequency：0.1-80 Hz ( 80Hz @ 1mm, 60hz @ 2mm，40 Hz @ 13 mm ，20 Hz @ 25mm ，10Hz+ @ 30mm, ) With LVDT Linear Encoder Range: 25.4 mm (+/- 12.7 mm); Resolution: 1 um |
Adjusting the Stroke Length
Please remember that the maximum frequency varies according to the stroke length. ( 80 Hz @ 1 mm, 60 Hz @ 2 mm, 20 Hz @ 25 mm).
When using the reciprocating system in combination with the LVDT, the stroke length limitation becomes 25.4 mm. The stroke length cannot be accurately measured or guaranteed beyond this value.
Click on “ON” to switch off the motion. The module must be “OFF”.
The drive must be disabled in order to freely move the reciprocating and get access to the adjustment screws.

Turn clockwise (right) to decrease stroke length.
Turn counterclockwise (left) to increase stroke length.
Turn counterclockwise (left) to increase stroke length.
Manual measurements of the reciprocating amplitude may differ slightly from the drive motion amplitude. For accurate stroke length, measure with a dial gauge while the drive is running, or use the LVDT sensor if available.
Connecting the LVDT {{if lvdt,reci,srv}}
This feature is optional and included only in systems purchased with the LVDT attachment for displacement measurement (SPN04325)
Connect the LVDT cable to the port located at the back of the drive.
Attach the Universal Sample Holder
- Place the universal sample holder on top of the reciprocating drive
- Tighten the captive screws using a 7/64" Allen key.
Insert the sample
Hardware Final Notes
- Always confirm all screws are hand-tightened and then secured with the appropriate Allen key.
- Refer to the full user manual for safety precautions and maintenance schedules
