(7) ABS Plates
(23) 6-32 x 3/8” Pan Head Phillips Screws
(4) .625” Length Aluminum Standoffs
(1) Servo Shaft Hub (525122 or 525123)
(1) 1/2” Bore Flat Bearing Mount
(1) 1/4” bore flanged bearing
(2) #4 x 1/2” Pan Head Phillips Screws
(4) #4 x 3/8” Truss Head Phillips Screws
(1) 1.25” Length Aluminum Standoff
(1) Aluminum Servo Horn
(1) .5” Length Aluminum Standoff
(1) 1/4” Thick ABS Spacer
(1) 1/8” Thick Nylon Spacer
(2) #4 x 1/2” Flat Head Phillips Screws
Tools needed:
#2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
#1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
Hammer
1. Attach the 1/2” Bore Flat
Bearing Mount to the rough
side of the ABS plate with
(4) 6-32 x 3/8” Pan Head
Phillips Screws.
2. Attach the (4) .625”
Length Aluminum Stand-
offs to the smooth side of
the ABS plate using (4) 6-
32 x 3/8” Pan Head Phillips
Screws.
3. Slide the Servo Shaft
Hub through the 1/2” Bore
Flat Bearing Mount.
5. Attach the servo to
the .625” Standoffs using
(4) 6-32 x 3/8” Pan Head
Phillips Screws. Make
sure to install all 4 screws
prior to tightening down for
proper alignment. Next,
install the stock servo
screw into the servo to hold
the Servo Shaft Hub on.
6. Plug the pan servo into
your servo controller and set
the controller to the neutral
position. Connect the tilt
base plate to the top of the
Servo Shaft Hub using (4) 6-
32 x 3/8” Pan Head Phillips
screws. Rotate with control-
ler to confirm the proper po-
sition of the tilt base plate at
this time as it is difficult to
re-index after this step.

7. Install the ¼” bore
flanged bearing on the tex-
tured side of the part in the
picture above. The bearing
may need to be lightly
tapped in place with a
hammer.
8. Press the the side plate
onto the tilt base plate as
shown and screw together
with (1) black #4 x 1/2”
Pan Head Phillips Screw.
4. Put the servo onto the Ser-
vo Shaft Hub. If your servo
has Karbonite gears the fit-
ment may be very tight. Once
you get it started, you can pull
the horn onto the servo by
installing and tightening down
the stock servo screw in step
5.
15. Using a 6-32x3/8” Pan
Head Phillips Screw, attach
the .5” length aluminum
standoff to the smooth side
of the part above.
9. Install your tilt servo on
the smooth side of the ser-
vo plate using (4) black
#4x3/8” Truss screws. Do
not fully tighten!
10. Press the servo plate
onto the tilt base plate and
screw together with (1)
black #4x1/2” Pan Head
11. Install the 1.25” length
aluminum standoff as
shown above using (2) 6-
32x3/8” Pan Head Phillips
Screws.
12. Install (4) 6-32 x 3/8”
Pan Head Phillips Screws
through the holes on the
textured side of the part in
the picture above.
13. Screw the aluminum
servo horn onto ABS part
with the spline of the horn
facing outward.
16. Spacers are included to
help keep the ball bearing
in place. (1) ABS and (1)
Nylon. You may only need
one depending on the
servo you use.
17. With the spacer(s) in-
stalled insert the standoff
into the 1/4” flanged bear-
ing as shown above.
18. Slide the top plate in
place. If the side plates
are too far apart, remove
spacers as necessary.
Install (2) #4 x 1/2” Flat
Head Phillips Screws to
hold top plate on.
19. Raise or lower the
servo to make the top
plate level. Once level,
tighten the bottom servo
mounting screws.
20. Next, tighten the top
servo mounting screws.
21. Your unit is now com-
plete and ready for use.

14. Plug the tilt servo into
your servo controller and
install the plate onto the
servo using the factory
servo screw. Operate the
servo to view tilt range and
adjust as needed.
You’ll notice the ABS pan plate has several unused holes. These
holes align with the repeated 1.5” pattern found on the Actobotics
Channel. To attach the SPT200 to channel, you can use 6-32 alumi-
num threaded standoffs and 6-32 screws.
To attach the SPT200 to a tripod or a flat surface, the DDP-BM base
mounting kit can be used. It comes with a flat plate and the neces-
sary hardware to create a base for the SPT200 to rest on. The hub
pattern in the center of the DDP-BM can be used to attach a 1/4-20
or 3/8-16 screw plate if you intend to install the pan system onto a
tripod.
