SYSTEM FOR DETECTING EXCESSIVE CENTRIFUGE ROTOR OSCILLATIONS

摘要

In a centrifuge including a centrifuge rotor and driving means for spinning the rotor at selected rotational speeds the improvement comprising a device for interrupting power to the driving means in the event of excessive rotor oscillations including an actuating means carried solely by the centrifuge rotor and switch means mounted in spaced relation to the lower peripheral portion of the rotor adjacent to the path of travel of the actuating means and in electrical circuit with the driving means.
