CENTRIFUGE INCLUDING VISUAL AND/OR TACTILE MEANS INDICATING THE PROPER MOUNTING OF THE ROTOR ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, AND THE CORRESPONDING ROTOR

摘要

A centrifuge is provided, which includes a drive shaft and a rotor intended to be removably mounted on the drive shaft in a mounting position. The drive shaft and the rotor are rotatably linked. The centrifuge also includes an axial locking device, which locks the rotor on the drive shaft and includes at least one male element supported by the rotor, resiliently biased and able to engage with a female element on the drive shaft. The male element(s) is(are) linked to a visual and/or tactile indicator, providing a visual and/or tactile indication of the engagement of the male element(s) with the female element.
