Product information "IKA HS 501 digital Horizontal Shaker, Reciprocating, Stroke 30 mm, 15 kg, 0025002982"

The IKA HS 501 digital (0025002982) is a flat horizontal shaker with a reciprocating, i.e. back-and-forth, motion. IKA recommends it for all horizontal vessels, such as separating funnels. The reciprocating motion has a stroke of 30 mm; the platform measures 450 x 450 mm and can support up to 15 kg, including the attachment.

Reciprocating motion with a 30 mm stroke

The speed is continuously adjustable between 0 and 300 rpm and displayed on a 7-segment LED. The shaker operates in timer or continuous mode; the timer with scale covers 1 to 55 minutes. The permissible duty cycle is 100 per cent; IKA describes continuous operation as indefinite, even under extreme loads. The drive has a power input of 70 W and a power output of 19 W.

The unit is supplied without attachments. IKA offers the following accessories for the HS 501, amongst others:

  • AS 501.2, AS 501.3 and AS 501.6 separating funnel attachments

  • STICKMAX mat and IO R 2.10 adjustable tube rack

We will provide the item numbers on request to ensure the attachment fits the vessel size.

Typical applications

  • Shaking of separating funnels and other horizontal vessels
  • Set-ups with a shaking weight of up to 15 kg, including the attachment
  • Timed runs from 1 to 55 minutes
  • Continuous operation at 100 per cent duty cycle
  • Control via RS 232 or USB-B

Comparison: HS 501 digital versus circular shakers

If you wish to move flasks and bottles in a circular motion, choose the KS 501 digital, which has the same platform, stroke and load capacity. For smaller batches up to 7.5 kg, the KS 260 control with a 320 x 320 mm platform is suitable. The table compares the three instruments side by side.
