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.
