1.4 Platform Assemblies
The Innova 5000 can be used with wide variety of New Brunswick 32½-inch x 26¾-
inch (82.5 cm x 68 cm) platforms which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test
tubes, etc. (see listing in Section 6).
1.5 Speed/Monitor Option
A Speed/Monitor Option (P/N M1194-9924) is available. This option allows the
connection of a chart recorder so that shaking speed can be documented. The analog
output for shaking speed is 0-3.5V (1V per 100 RPM).
The output can also be connected to a data logging computer with an analog data
acquisition card.
1.6 Heavy Duty Construction
1.6.1 Eccentric Drive
The eccentric drive used in the Innova shakers employs the same proven
technology that has reliably driven New Brunswick Scientific’s shakers for
over 30 years. This drive mechanism utilizes a counterweight system to
stabilize the rotary motion produced during operation. When the workload
moves in one direction, opposing forces are generated to stabilize the shaker.
This action will help eliminate the problem of “walking” that may occur with
less precisely balanced instruments. Vibrations are minimized and the life of
the unit is extended.
