A centrifuge is indispensable in a laboratory. The centrifuges are used to separate mixtures at a high rotational speed. Through this procedure, liquids and gases can be purified on the basis of density. A well-known example of the application of a laboratory centrifuge is the examination of blood plasma. A centrifuge is able to separate platelets and blood cells.
The high speed at which a centrifuge spins requires a stable and resistant construction. Reliability and ease of use are also important properties for the end user of laboratory centrifuges. Precisely for these reasons, the components of BIBUS are frequently used in the medical sector. This article describes the advantages of BIBUS gas springs and hinges for laboratory centrifuges.
Opening centrifuges smoothly and safely
Manufacturers of medical centrifuges place high demands on mechanical components. To open the valve, the gas springs must be small, reach the end position smoothly and vibration-free, have minimal breakaway force and of course be very durable. BIBUS makes it possible with the help of certified mini gas springs to allow the lid to open smoothly and safely over the entire stroke in a controlled manner.
Gas springs from Bansbach offer unique product properties in terms of durability, running properties, friction and damping. Low friction and unique features provide smooth movement throughout the stroke.
Individual damping over the entire stroke ensures that the lid can be opened and closed as desired and the end positions can be reached smoothly. The modular range of gas springs offers countless options for laboratory centrifuges, among other things.
The advantages of mini gas springs
The range of mini gas springs is extremely suitable for these applications. The smallest variations are available in 3/8 mm, 3/10 mm and 4/12 mm. In addition to the unique small size, these gas springs have more advantages:
- The gas springs offer low friction
- Minimal breakaway force
- Optimal end damping
- Various cushioning technologies for an ideal cushioning process
- The damping curve can be adjusted exactly to the application
- Dynamic damping possible for controlled movement over the entire stroke
