A reaction frame having a first reaction frame portion and a second reaction frame portion receives reaction forces from a stage. First reaction frame portion is coupled to ground by a ground rod aligned along the longitudinal side of the first reaction frame portion; second reaction frame portion of the reaction frame is coupled to an interconnect rod passing parallel to the plane defined by the first reaction frame portion and second reaction frame portion. Ends of interconnect rod have a damper therebetweeen. One end is coupled to the first reaction frame portion while the other end is coupled to the second reaction frame portion. Reaction forces in received by the second reaction frame portion are transferred to ground through the interconnect rod and the first reaction frame portion. Alternately, the interconnect rod does not use the damper when alligned with the ground rod.
