Description
BRAKE PIN
DOOR LATCH
FILTER
NAME RATING PLATE
1-6
Braking action is provided by a movable brake pin (see Figure 1-5)
set vertically on a spring in the shaft of the stator (see Figure 1-3).
An electromagnet holds the pin down during a run and releases it
2 minutes after the timer reaches zero. When released, the pin
engages the rotor bottom, stabilizing the rotor as it gradually
decelerates to a stop.
The door-latch mechanism secures the door during centrifugation.
This prevents premature door opening, which would result in damage
to the rotor and stator pad.
A filter is supplied with the ultracentrifuge for water and oil removal
from the air supply. The filter element turns red when it is saturated
and needs to be replaced.
A name rating plate is affixed to the rear of the instrument. Always
mention the serial number and model number when contacting
Beckman Coulter regarding your Airfuge ultracentrifuge.
