SW 32 Ti and SW 32.1 Ti Swinging-Bucket Rotors

Care and Maintenance  

2

Select the curve at the desired temperature (20°C) and tube volume (full) that gives the best 
particle separation.

3

Note the run speed along the selected curve (20,000 RPM).

4

From 

Figure 2

, select the maximum homogeneous CsCl density (in this case, 1.56 g/mL) that 

corresponds to the temperature and run speed established above.

 •

These parameters will provide the particle-banding pattern selected in Step 2.

In this example, particles will band about 119.5 and 129 mm from the axis of rotation (about 
9.5 mm apart).

Care and Maintenance

Maintenance

NOTE

Do not use sharp tools on the rotor that could cause scratches in the rotor surface. Corrosion begins 

in scratches and may open fissures in the rotor with continued use.

1

Frequently check the bucket O-rings for signs of wear. 

a.

 Replace O-rings every 6 months, or whenever worn or damaged. 

b.

Use the hooked removal tool (978354) to remove O-rings.

c.

 Keep the O-rings lightly coated with silicone vacuum grease (335148).

2

Regularly inspect the rotor body, buckets, and caps for cracks, pitting, or heavy discoloration.

NOTE

Wear will become visible over time on the contact areas between buckets and rotor body. Such 

wear will not affect rotor operation.
