CHANGING THE STROKE

The stroke of the Direkt 2 is interchangeable between 2.8mm, 3.4mm and 4mm sizes using the included Stroke Caps.  

In order to change the stroke of the machine, release the MotorBolt unit from the Machine Body and insert the Stroke 

Changing tool into the motor’s place; this will prevent the cam from turning as you swap the stroke caps.

Next, use the Allen key included to gently remove the 2 socket head screws securing the stroke cap and set 

screws aside. 

 

Gently remove the installed Stroke Cap and replace it with your selected size. Insert the 2 screws into the Stroke 

Cap’s holes, but do not tighten. In order to ensure you do not misalign or over-torque the screws, gently screw in 

the socket head screws 1 to 2 turns alternating between the 2 screws until the Stroke Cap is fully secured onto the 

machine. Remove the Stroke Changing Tool, insert the motor and use the machine at your desired stroke length.

Choosing a Stroke Length:

Ultimately, artist preference dictates the best stroke length for a particular style or technique. Below are some 

basic guidelines:

2.8mm - This shorter stroke length is generally recommended for soft black and grey.

3.4mm - This stroke is mounted standard on each machine as it tends to be the most versatile and best for all 

around tattooing styles. Suitable for lining, shading, color packing and all styles of tattooing.

4.0mm - This longer stroke length is recommended for use as a longer stroke liner and for filling in large areas of 

saturated color.
