Rotor and bucket support for swinging bucket centrifuge

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The rotor (3) has a number of rotor arms (2) with a retainer (4) at the outer end of arms, where retaining units of a bucket support are swivelably inserted in the retainer so that the support is hanged between two arms. The support is swivelably supported around a horizontal axis tangential to a rotation axis of the rotor and swings outward during rotation of the rotor. A stopper unit (5) for limiting the swinging angle of the support is provided at each arm, where the unit is formed as a shoulder or a rib, and an edge of the shoulder and/or the rib forms a stopper surface. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a bucket support for usage in a swinging-out rotor (2) a system for a bucket support in a swinging bucket centrifuge. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for a swinging bucket centrifuge for hanging a bucket support (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The stopper unit is formed as the shoulder or rib, and the edge of the shoulder and/or the rib forms the stopper surface, thus maximizing the contact surface between the stopper surface and impact surface in the swinging condition of the support. The force distribution and the stability of the angle-limitation are thus improved. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of a swinging-out rotor. 2 : Rotor arms 3 : Rotor 4 : Retainer 5 : Stopper unit.
