Rotor - Hanil Smart R17 Operation Manual

2. Installation Directions

2.3 Rotor

· Rotor, tube rack(adapter), tube and adapter set recommended by manufacturer
should be used.
· Do not use rotor and bucket with a visible corrosion or mechanical fault.
· Waring! In danger of injury due to asymmetric installation of a rotor.
· Make sure a rotor is tightened up before start.
· Make sure a lid of rotor is tightened up before start.
· Make sure of tubes arrangement before start
- Same tube buckets and plates should be placed on a rotor symmetrically.
- Make sure of use of adapters with suitable tubes or plates.
- Make sure of use of same type (weight, material/density, volume) of tube or plate
all the time.
- Make sure you check balance of adapters, tubes or plates by using a scale and
they become symmetric.
• Clean a motor spindle and rotor holes with a dry cloth before you install a rotor.
• When you tighten a rotor on a motor spindle, temperature of a rotor and a motor spindle should be
between 10℃ and 30 ℃.
• Tighten a rotor screw turning clockwise with a hexagon wrench after you install a rotor on a
motor spindle.
• When you take a rotor out, turn a rotor screw counterclockwise with a hexagon wrench
Applying load to a rotor
• Tubes and adapter should be placed on a rotor symmetrically.
Recommended tubes should be only placed on a rotor.
• Weight difference between tubes containing samples should be as small as possible to minimize
noise and extend life of drive.
• Same type of tubes should be placed on a rotor due to a reason of mechanical stability.
• Clean rotor holes before you insert tubes.
