5.3 Spindle, Spindle Guard,
DIN Adapter

5.3.1 Connecting and Removing a Spindle

Fig. 16: Connecting/removing spindles

ViscoQC features a magnetic coupling. To connect
a spindle, take the spindle shaft beneath the cou-
pling and approach the coupling on the measuring
head from below. Rotate the spindle slightly and
wait until it clicks into place.

To remove a spindle, take the spindle shaft beneath
the coupling and incline the spindle sideways. Then
pull the spindle downwards.

5.3.2 Connecting and Removing a Spindle
Guard or DIN Adapter

The spindle guard is fixed to the rear of the measur-

ing flange with an encoded screw showing the iden-
tification of the guard (

L

or

R

).

If using DIN measuring systems (concentric cylin-
ders CC or double-gap DG) a DIN Adapter is fixed
to the same thread. The fixing screw of a DIN Adapt-
er is marked

D

.

ViscoQC can automatically detect the type of fixing
screw (

Fig. 17: Fixing screw for spindle guard / DIN adapter

The fixing screw is positioned in a threaded hole on
the holder of the guard/DIN adapter. The screw can-
not drop out accidentally due to the hole’s thread. To
remove the fixing screw from the holder you un-
screw it.

Align the holder of the guard or DIN adapter with the
rear of the measuring flange and fasten the screw
(right thread). If you loosen the screw, hold the spin-
dle guard/DIN adapter, so that it does not drop.

6 Adjusting and Calibrating

Adjusting means changing some hardware or soft-
ware factors on the instrument that will have an in-
fluence on future measurement results. Calibrating
means verifying that the instrument measures ac-
cording to specifications: You perform a check mea-
surement with a certified reference substance.

6.1 Calibrating

Verify that ViscoQC measures correctly at least
once a month. Measure a certified reference sub-
stance. Determine how much the measuring result
may deviate from the reference value. Then check
the actual deviation. The allowed deviation depends
