12.4.1 Maximum Permissible Setpoints for the Rotation Speed
The following guidelines for maximum rotation speeds are speci-
fied to prevent damage. Hence, they must be observed though fur-
ther restrictions (e.g. tray with «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting)
must be taken into account.
The information below is based on an ideal and even load for
the
tray. The specified rotation speeds apply to glass Erlenmeyer
flasks without baffles, 30% filled.
Due to the lever effect, the maximum permissible rotation speeds
for the top equipment units in stacks are lower.

All these values are intended solely as guidelines (not guaranteed).
Depending on the load, higher rotation speeds are possible; in this
case, the rotation speed should be increased slowly. In such
cases, the user is responsible for determining the maximum possi-
ble rotation speed based on the vibrations and the vessel holders
(the clamps may need to be secured) and communicating them. If
vibrations occur, reduce the shaking speed until the equipment
runs smoothly. Alternatively, increase or decrease the load until the
equipment runs smoothly.
Maximum agitations speeds with «Sticky Stuff»
For a detailed description of the maximum permissible agitation
speeds when using the with «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting, see
chapter 4.1.1 "Tray with «Sticky Stuff» Adhesive Matting", page 28.
