RC-3C Plus Description

The Sorvall RC-3C Plus centrifuge system has a fan-cooled motor with automatic programmed acceleration and braking.ﾠ The motor is balanced to ensure smooth, quiet operation over its full speed range and to promote long life for the brushes and bearings.ﾠ A gyro-action drive with a square spindle drive shaft accepts a variety of SORVALL rotors.ﾠ A clear acrylic viewing port located in the center of the chamber door permits calibration of rotor speed with a strobescope.

The refrigeration system consists of a low-temperature condensing unit with a twin cylinder, hermetically-sealed power assembly (motor and compressor), a finned condenser and two fans.ﾠ The cooling system is designed to maintain chamber temperature within 1 Deg. of setpoint.

RC-3C Plus includes the following safety features

Protective, armor plate steel guard within the cabinet.
Automatic shutoff of the drive motor for overspeed protection and ot the refrigeration motor to prevent damage from overheating.
Electrical circuit breakers on the main power and the control panel circuits.
Operating controls which may be changed during operation without damage to the centrifuge.
