Loading the rotor
Maximum loading
Overloading can result in destruction
and severe damage to the centrifuge.
The Legend™ can reach high rotational speeds exert-
ing enormous centrifugal force. The rotors are de-
signed in a way warranting sufficient residual strength
even at the highest permissible speed.
However, this safety system presupposes that the
maximum permissible load of the rotor is not exceeded.
Please note the data about the
maximum permissible loads and
maximum speeds in chapter "Rotor
and accessories".
If you wish to centrifuge samples that together with the
adapters exceed the maximum permissible load, you
must either reduce the sample volume or calculate the
permissible speed n
