Laboratory ball mill e.g. planetary mono ball mill for crushing material, has receiving device rotatably mounted to carrier device, which is provided with cage and clamping element for axial clamping of grinding vessel in cage

The ball mill (1) has a carrier device (8) for mounting a grinding station (10) containing a receiving device (16) and grinding vessel (12). The receiving device rotatably mounted to the carrier device, is provided with a cage and a clamping element for axial clamping of grinding vessel in the cage. The grinding vessel is used for performing grinding process in the cage. The grinding vessel is removed from the cage by reducing the clamping force, after the completion of grinding process. Die Erfindung betrifft eine Laborkugelmühle, insbesondere Planeten- oder Fliehkraftkugelmühle im Labormaßstab mit einer Zweipunkt-Lagerung der Mahlstation, einem Käfig zum Einsetzen und Verspannen des Mahlgefäßes, einem Exzenter-Verspannmechanismus für das Mahlgefäß und einem motorischen Antrieb der Verspannung und Verrieglung des Käfigs.
