Product information "IKA EUROSTAR 60 control overhead stirrer with TFT display, up to 60 litres, 0020105158"
The IKA EUROSTAR 60 control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105158) represents the modernised, highly advanced mechatronic generation of professional laboratory stirrers. With a footprint reduced by up to 23 % compared with previous models, this unit fits into any laboratory layout. Designed for universal and highly demanding mixing tasks in a B2B environment, the system processes sample volumes of up to 60 litres (based on water) as well as viscous media with a viscosity of up to 50,000 mPas. It is suitable for complex syntheses, mixing viscous substances and fully documented processes in chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological research.
Within the EUROSTAR series, the Model 60 control is the more compact version of the top-of-the-range Model 100 control: It offers the same comprehensive sensor technology and connectivity, but with a capacity limited to 60 litres and 50,000 mPas, whilst the Model 60 digital, with the same volume, does not feature temperature measurement, direction-of-rotation reversal or wireless network connectivity.
High-precision real-time viscosity measurement via torque sensor
A key feature of the control series is the integrated torque sensor. With an accuracy of ±1 Ncm, it enables continuous torque monitoring throughout the entire mixing process. The internal microprocessor control system uses these values to calculate the exact viscosity of the medium and displays it in mPas on the TFT graphic display. Coupled with automatic speed control in the range of 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor dynamically adapts to changes in load.
Advanced process functions and safety architecture
The EUROSTAR 60 control offers tools that go beyond conventional stirring. The system features an integrated temperature measurement function (via PT1000 interface), a rotation direction that can be reversed at the touch of a button (counter-clockwise/clockwise rotation), and a programmable interval mode. An integrated vibration sensor monitors the test setup for imbalances or critical vibrations and initiates an automatic safety shutdown in the event of danger. Mechanical blockages or thermal overloads are countered by self-contained safety circuits, whilst a lock button protects the control panel against unintentional parameter changes.
Industry 4.0 readiness and robust housing design
With USB-C, RS232, Ethernet, wireless (WPAN) and Wi-Fi interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be connected to a PC and controlled and documented via the labworldsoft laboratory software. The housing, made from coated die-cast aluminium and robust thermoplastic, meets degree of protection IP 54 (splash- and steam-proof). The brushless DC motor operates with virtually no wear, is whisper-quiet (52 dBA without tools) and is designed for a 100 % duty cycle in continuous operation.
Typical applications
- Process development with comprehensive documentation of torque, viscosity and temperature for batches of up to 60 litres
- Stirring of viscous media up to 50,000 mPas, where a reversible direction of rotation specifically remixes sediments
- Syntheses and reactions with temperature monitoring via PT1000 and automatic safety shut-off in the event of imbalance or blockage
- Networked laboratory workstations connected to labworldsoft via Wi-Fi or LAN, where a smaller volume than that of the Model 100 control is sufficient

Matching accessories
The IKA R 401 stirrer shaft guard with hinge (MPN 0020122349) is an essential mechanical safety component for the safe and accident-free operation of overhead stirrers in the laboratory. During intensive mixing and homogenisation of viscous media, high kinetic forces act on the rotating stirring shafts. This professional shaft guard reliably protects laboratory staff from accidental contact with the rotating parts, effectively preventing clothing, hair or gloves from being drawn in. The guard is therefore a fundamental element in risk assessments and compliance with strict health and safety and accident prevention regulations (UVV). Ergonomic access thanks to an integrated hinge mechanism The design highlight of the R 401 model is its integrated, smooth-running hinge system. Unlike rigid protective covers, this hinged system architecture allows quick, unobstructed access to the drill chuck and the stirrer tool in use. Laboratory staff can carry out tool changes, adjustments to the immersion depth or cleaning tasks in a way that protects the material, without the need for time-consuming dismantling of the entire guard. This ensures a smooth workflow with high time efficiency in daily multi-user operation. Material stability and unrestricted process visibility The protective screen is made from a highly transparent, impact-resistant and specialised plastic material. This choice of material provides high chemical resistance to splashes of acids, alkalis or organic solvents. The material’s excellent optical clarity ensures that visual monitoring of the stirring process, transient flow patterns or any delayed boiling within the sample vessel remains unrestricted at all times.

The IKA R 1330 anchor stirrer (MPN 0002022300) is a stirring element made of stainless steel 1.4571 for overhead stirrers. It has a stirrer diameter of 45 mm and a shaft with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 350 mm. It is intended for medium to highly viscous media that are stirred at low speeds, up to a maximum of 1,000 rpm.A polymer batch that sits thick in the vessel, or a mixture with a high mineral content that is to stay evenly distributed: the R 1330 is intended for tasks like these.Tangential flow of the anchor stirrer with a high shear rate at the edgeThe anchor stirrer moves the medium tangentially, that is, in the circumferential direction around the stirrer axis, and not axially like a propeller stirrer. The shear rate is high at the edge of the stirrer, and few deposits are left on the vessel wall. With viscous batches this matters, because material on the wall is withdrawn from the mixing process.It is used at low speeds. The stirrer diameter of 45 mm determines the minimum width of the opening of the stirring vessel.Typical applicationsHomogenising medium to highly viscous liquids in the laboratoryStirring in polymer reactionsEvenly distributing high mineral content in liquidsBatches where little material should be deposited on the vessel wallWorking at low speeds on an overhead stirrerSuitable for IKA overhead stirrers with an 8 mm chuckThe shaft with a diameter of 8 mm fits into chucks for an 8 mm shaft. These include the IKA overhead stirrers EUROSTAR 20, 40, 60, 100, 200 and 400 (digital and control), RW 20 digital as well as MINISTAR, MICROSTAR and NANOSTAR. In our range you will find EUROSTAR 20, 40, 60, 100, 200 and 400 digital, RW 20 digital, MINISTAR 20, 40 and 80 digital, MICROSTAR 7.5 digital and NANOSTAR 7.5 digital.Whether a stirrer drives the anchor stirrer safely in your medium depends on the viscosity and on the torque of the stirrer. The more viscous the batch, the more torque is required. Therefore check before purchase whether your device is sufficient for your batch and whether the chuck accepts a shaft of 8 mm.MaterialThe wetted parts of the R 1330 are made of stainless steel 1.4571. The weight of the stirrer is 0.151 kg.Technical detailsTypeAnchor stirrerStirrer diameter45 mmShaft diameter8 mmShaft length350 mmMaximum speed1,000 rpmFlowtangentialSuitable formedium to highly viscous mediaMaterial, wetted partsStainless steel 1.4571Weight0.151 kgMountChuck for 8 mm shaftScope of delivery1 x IKA R 1330 anchor stirrer (MPN 0002022300).

A stirrer shaft protector, for example the IKA R 401, also fits the overhead stirrer setup. Our procurement service helps with the choice of the suitable stirring element and the overhead stirrer for your batch.
The IKA ETS-D7 Wireless Sensor (MPN 0025008370) is a wireless temperature sensor, which transmits measured values wirelessly to compatible IKA magnetic stirrers and agitators, thereby eliminating the need for cumbersome cable connections in the fume hood or glovebox. Temperature data can be sent in real time to the paired drive unit via a digital WPAN radio link with a range of up to 15 metres, allowing the stirrer and sensor to be positioned independently of one another. Thanks to an integrated BNC socket, the ETS-D7 also functions as a stand-alone pH meter as soon as a suitable pH electrode is connected, thereby covering two measurement tasks with a single device. For networked laboratory workstations where temperature and stirring parameters are to be documented centrally, this wireless solution also reduces the amount of cabling required at the workstation. All-in-one measurement technology: temperature and pH in a single device An analogue pH electrode can be connected directly to the ETS-D7 via the integrated BNC socket. This transforms the wireless sensor into a fully-fledged, portable pH meter, eliminating the need to purchase an additional device for occasional pH checks. The TFT touchscreen displays temperature and pH values with a resolution of two decimal places (0.01) each; the accuracy of the pH measurement is ±0.1 pH over a measuring range of 0 to 14 pH. The touchscreen interface allows you to switch between displays and adjust settings directly on the device. For laboratories that only need to check pH values occasionally, this eliminates the need to purchase a separate pH meter. The temperature probe’s minimum immersion depth of 20 mm also allows measurements to be taken in smaller sample vessels. Intelligent energy management with Auto-Wake An integrated infrared and brightness sensor detects whether people are in the immediate vicinity and automatically activates the display when necessary (Auto-Wake). When idle, the sensor automatically switches to standby mode, achieving a battery life of up to 100 hours in Auto-Wake mode. With the display switched on continuously, the operating time is up to 50 hours. The integrated battery, with a capacity of 700 mAh at 5 V, reaches around 50 % of its full capacity after 60 minutes and around 75 % after 90 minutes, meaning that even short charging breaks can be utilised for continued use. For long test series lasting several days, this energy management system significantly reduces the effort required for recharging. Suitable for IKA RET basic, RCT basic and Eurostar control The ETS-D7 transmits its measured values via WPAN radio to compatible IKA drives. These include the magnetic stirrers of the RET basic and RCT basic series, as well as the Eurostar control stirrers. For older RCT basic models without an integrated WPAN module, the wireless connection can be retrofitted using a separately available USB wireless receiver. Depending on the connected drive, temperature and stirring parameters can be adjusted directly via the sensor’s touchscreen interface using bidirectional communication. In addition, the ETS-D7 can be integrated into safety control loops as a second, redundant temperature sensor, providing an independent control mechanism in the event of exothermic reactions. For laboratories already using a RET basic magnetic stirrer, the ETS-D7 can thus be used as a wireless extension of the existing temperature control system. Bidirectional networking for process documentation Full compatibility with the labworldsoft laboratory software enables the digital recording, central control and documentation of recorded temperature and pH curves. For laboratories that need to document their measurement series in an audit-compliant manner, the ETS-D7 can thus be integrated into existing digital quality management processes, rather than recording measurement values manually. This ensures that the assignment of measurement values remains traceable even when test series are running in parallel across multiple workstations. Typical applications Its wireless design and dual function as a temperature and pH meter make the ETS-D7 a versatile tool in a variety of laboratory situations: Temperature monitoring during syntheses with reflux cooling, without intrusive cables in the fume hoodCable-free measurements in the glovebox, where signal cables would restrict handlingpH monitoring directly at the reaction vessel via the integrated BNC interfaceRedundant temperature monitoring in safety-critical, exothermic reactionsDocumentation of temperature and pH curves via labworldsoft in a networked laboratoryRetrofitting older RCT basic magnetic stirrers with wireless temperature controlMobile use as a stand-alone pH meter, independent of the connected stirrer Technical details Sensor typePT1000 (DIN IEC 751 Class A), replaceable Replaceable temperature sensorStandard component H62.51 Temperature measurement range-20 °C to +400 °C (in combination with H62 sensor) Temperature measurement resolution0.01 K Temperature measurement accuracy±0.05 K plus the tolerance of the PT1000 sensor Minimum immersion depth20 mm pH measurement functionVia integrated BNC socket (female) pH measurement range0 to 14 pH pH resolution0.01 pH pH accuracy±0.1 pH Display technologyTFT touchscreen Proximity sensorsInfrared and brightness detection for auto-wake AlertsStatus LED and audible alert function Wireless interfaceWPAN Communication rangeUp to 15 metres (depending on the building structure) Wired interfaceUSB-C Power supplyBuilt-in, rechargeable battery Battery capacity700 mAh, 5 V Maximum charging current500 mA Operating time (display on continuously)Up to 50 hours Operating time (Auto-Wake mode)Up to 100 hours Charging rate50 % capacity in 60 minutes, 75 % capacity in 90 minutes Dimensions (W x D x H)52 x 385 x 40 mm Net weight0.125 kg Degree of protection according to DIN EN 60529IP 54 Permissible ambient temperature+5 to +40 °C Permissible relative humidityUp to 80 % Scope of delivery 1 x IKA ETS-D7 Wireless Sensor main unit (MPN 0025008370)1 x Replaceable temperature sensor H62.511 x Integrated lithium-ion battery (700 mAh)1 x Quick Start Guide / Safety Guide A pH electrode and a USB-C charging adapter are not included and are available separately.

A heated magnetic stirrer can only control temperature as precisely as the connected external sensor measures it. The IKA PT 1000.60 (MPN 0003516800) is an immersion sensor made from stainless steel 1.4571 with a PT1000 sensor of tolerance class A, covering a measuring range from -20 °C to +350 °C.With a response time t9/10 of 10 seconds, the sensor reacts quickly to temperature changes in the medium, which matters for exothermic reactions or fast heating ramps that need reliable control. The 1,050 mm cable allows flexible placement of the stirrer relative to the vessel without the sensor restricting work at the stand.CompatibilityOfficial accessory for the IKA RCT basic anodized magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133785), RET basic magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0025008265) and RET basic anodized magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133787).

The IKA Pt.Wireless wireless sensor (MPN 0025008369) represents a technologically pioneering, highly optimised mechatronic system solution for seamless digital temperature and electrochemical sample analysis in the laboratory. Designed as an intelligent, fully wireless sensor, this instrument eliminates the need for cumbersome cable routing in fume hoods, gloveboxes or on crowded laboratory workstations. Via digital radio transmission (WPAN), the system transmits transient measurement data in real time over a range of up to 15 metres to compatible IKA system components, such as the latest generations of the RCT basic and RET basic magnetic stirrer series, Eurostar control stirrers, and directly to the labworldsoft (LWS) laboratory equipment software. Full app integration and display-free efficiency Unlike traditional measuring instruments, the Pt.Wireless does away with physically bulky display elements on the sensor itself and shifts all visual control to the innovative IKA app. Once paired in a straightforward process, the smartphone or tablet acts as a high-resolution dashboard for the real-time display of all parameters. Calibration of the precise temperature and pH calibration curves is also carried out error-free directly via the app’s user interface. For electrochemical analysis, the slim module features an integrated BNC interface to which an analogue pH electrode can be connected directly. This transforms the system into an ultra-compact all-in-one solution for monitoring complex reaction media. Intelligent LED status monitoring for weekend operation The Pt.Wireless’s key technical feature is its predictive, multi-stage energy management system, which enables a continuous operating time of up to 150 hours. To reliably prevent unforeseen system failures during critical long-term experiments, the sensor features a smart battery status warning via an integrated LED indicator. If the remaining runtime of the lithium battery falls below 70 hours, the LED signals at an early stage that safe, unattended operation over a full weekend can no longer be guaranteed. When the remaining runtime falls below a critical reserve of approximately 20 hours, the indicator changes to a slowly flashing yellow warning signal to alert laboratory staff that safe overnight operation is about to cease.
