Adjustable imbalance detector for a centrifuge

An imbalance detector for a centrifuge includes a pendulum arm that is tuned to a critical frequency that lies within a predetermined range of the critical frequency of the rotor of the centrifuge. An imbalance force imposed by the rotor is transmitted to the detector and if the imbalance force exce...

Zusammenfassung:An imbalance detector for a centrifuge includes a pendulum arm that is tuned to a critical frequency that lies within a predetermined range of the critical frequency of the rotor of the centrifuge. An imbalance force imposed by the rotor is transmitted to the detector and if the imbalance force exceeds a predetermined threshold the arm contacts an electrical contact to generate an appropriate electrical signal.
