Laboratory centrifuge separator comprises a retaining ring of linked segments, which allow movement in a star pattern, and in service are pressed against the inner rim of the rotor for retention

摘要

Laboratory centrifuge separator has a main rotor body (21) with a cylindrical lower section (21a) and a segmented (23a) retaining ring (23) around the inner rim of the main rotor (21). The segments (23a) are linked to each other and are able to move in a star pattern. During rotation, the segments (23a) are pressed against and are retained by the inner rim of the main rotor (21). A one-piece disc (22) is located within and precisely fits the middle section of the main rotor body (21). The disc (22) outer rim is coupled to the segments (23a) by sliding lugs (27),
