A swinging bucket centrifuge rotor (10) comprises a body (12) that has a reference plane (10R) that extends generally perpendicular to a vertically extending axis of rotation (10A). The body (12) has at least one pair of confronting planar sidewalls (24A, 24B) each of which has a trunnion pin (30) mounted thereon. Each trunnion pin (30) has an axis (30A) therethrough that extends generally perpendicularly to the planar sidewall (24A, 24B) on which the pin (30) is mounted. Each sidewall (24A, 24B) further has a generally cylindrical swinging bucket support surface (40) thereon. Each cylindrical support surface (40) has an axis of generation (40A) that lies in the reference plane (10R) in parallel relationship to the axis (30A) of the trunnion pin (30). Thus, a portion of each cylindrical support surface (40) lies above and below the reference plane (10R).
