<p>A Centrifugal Separator (10, fig. 1 (a)) for an engine has a rotor (30) mounted within cover (14) for rotation on hollow spindle (42) to the end of which oil is supplied at high pressure to enter the rotor. To prevent the rotor from flying from the base and oil spraying if the cover (14) is removed without stopping supply via optional valve (80), a rotor restraining means (90) forms a ring (91), (fig. 1(b)) which surrounds and overlies a flange of the rotor. The ring may be complete or discontinuous and include an interlock to prevent fitting of the cover and/or supply of oil if it is not in place.</p> |
