Abstract

See full text

Provided is a swing rotor for a centrifuge. The centrifuge includes a swing type rotor body having a plurality of holding pins and a plurality of buckets held by the holding pins in a swingable manner. On the rotor body, a connection part is formed to connect two branch arms that diverge from an arm part on an outer peripheral side. A thickness-reduced part penetrating in the same direction as a driving shaft is formed in a region surrounded by the two branch arms on an inner peripheral side of the connection part. Since the branch arms deform accordingly to a certain extent, partial concentration of the stress applied on the holding pins due to a centrifugal load can be alleviated. Thus, the lifespan of the centrifuge can be improved and the centrifugal separation operation can be stabilized.
