A lift pin driving device and a manufacturing apparatus having the device are provided. The device includes drive unit including a single drive motor that drives a pin plate, a plurality of timing belts and a plurality of pulleys. The pin plate, which supports a plurality of lift pins thereon, is moved by the pulleys, operated in conjunction with the motor through the timing belts. A tensioner controls a tension of the timing belts. The tensioner may be controlled to provide precise rectilinear movement without leaning, and to prevent the timing belts from sagging. The device efficiently controls the tension of the timing belts and allows the lift pins to be precisely moved upwards or downwards such that a substrate positioned thereon may maintain a horizontal position while being moved upwards or downwards.
