IKA R 401 Agitator shaft guard with hinge for overhead agitators, 0020122349

The IKA EUROSTAR 100 control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105159) represents the modernised, highly advanced mechatronic generation of professional laboratory stirrers. With a footprint reduced by up to 23 per cent compared to its predecessors, this powerhouse offers exceptional functional density in a minimal space. Designed for universal and highly demanding mixing tasks in a B2B laboratory environment, the system handles sample volumes of up to 100 litres (based on water) as well as highly viscous media up to 70,000 mPas. It is suitable for complex syntheses, viscous mixtures and fully documented processes in chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological research. Within the EUROSTAR series, the Model 100 control is the top-of-the-range model for large volumes: It shares the maximum stirring capacity of 100 litres with the identically dimensioned Model 100 digital, but additionally offers a TFT display, absolute torque and temperature measurement, and full Wi-Fi connectivity. Compared with the Model 60 control, which has a capacity of 60 litres and a maximum viscosity of 50,000 mPas, the Model 100 covers the larger volume range. High-precision torque monitoring and real-time viscosity display An outstanding metrological feature of the control series is the integrated high-end torque sensor. With an absolute accuracy of ±1 Ncm, it enables continuous, transient torque monitoring throughout the entire mixing process. Based on this data, the internal microprocessor control calculates the exact viscosity of the medium in mPas and displays it in real time on the large TFT graphic display. Thanks to electronic speed control in the range of 30 to 2000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor dynamically adapts to changes in load. The stirring speed thus remains constant even during sudden changes in viscosity, which enhances the reproducibility of the results. Extended functionality and process reliability The EUROSTAR 100 control offers tools that go beyond conventional stirring. The system features an integrated temperature measurement function (via a PT1000 interface), a rotation direction that can be reversed at the touch of a button (anti-clockwise/clockwise rotation) for the targeted disruption of flow patterns, and a programmable interval mode. An integrated vibration sensor continuously 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 prevented by self-contained safety circuits. An integrated lock button also prevents accidental changes to parameters during operation. Industry 4.0 connectivity and robust housing design With standard USB-C, RS232, Ethernet, wireless and Wi-Fi interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be integrated into automated networks and controlled and documented via the labworldsoft laboratory software. The housing, made from coated die-cast aluminium and robust thermoplastic, meets protection class IP 54. The brushless DC drive operates virtually wear-free and quietly, making the system suitable for low-maintenance continuous operation (100 per cent duty cycle) under laboratory conditions. Typical applications Process development and scale-up trials with comprehensive documentation of torque, viscosity and temperature Agitation and homogenisation of highly viscous media up to 70,000 mPas, such as resins, pastes or concentrated polymer solutions Batches of up to 100 litres in technical and pilot plants, where larger containers need to be handled Chemical syntheses with temperature monitoring via PT1000 and automatic safety shut-off Networked laboratory workstations connected to labworldsoft via Wi-Fi or LAN for centralised process documentation Technical details Drive & performance data Motor principleBrushless DC motor (BLDC) Motor power consumption174 watts Motor power output142 watts Max. power at the mixing shaft136 watts Power consumption186 watts Permissible duty cycle100 per cent (designed for continuous operation) Voltage range100 to 240 V / frequency 50/60 Hz Mixing & viscosity data Max. mixing capacity per mixing point (water)100 litres Maximum viscosity70,000 mPas Maximum torque at the stirring shaft100 Ncm Maximum torque at 30 to 600 rpm200 Ncm Max. torque at 1,300 to 2,000 rpm100 to 60 Ncm (linear adjustment) Rated torque1 Nm Speed & time control Speed range30 to 2000 rpm (revolutions per minute) Speed adjustmentContinuously variable via electronic control Speed adjustment & measurement accuracy±1 rpm Speed measurement deviation (n > 300 rpm)±1 per cent Speed measurement deviation (n < 300 rpm)±3 rpm Direction of rotation reversibleYes (left-hand/right-hand rotation integrated) Pulse mode / Interval modeYes TimerYes, integrated (setting range 1 to 6000 minutes) Metrology & Sensors Speed display & timer displayHigh-resolution TFT graphic display Torque measurementIntegrated (accuracy ±1 Ncm) Viscosity measurementIntegrated with direct mPas calculation and on-screen display Connection for external temperature sensorPT1000 Temperature measurement range-10 to +350 °C (resolution 0.1 K) Temperature measurement accuracy±0.5 K plus the tolerance of the PT1000 sensor (Class A) Vibration sensorIntegrated for automatic imbalance detection Interfaces & connectivity Wireless interfacesWi-Fi/WLAN and WPAN (wireless) Wired interfacesUSB-C, RS232 and Ethernet Software Compatibilitylabworldsoft (process automation and documentation) Design & Geometry Stirrer tool mountingChuck (clamping range: 0.5 to 10 mm in diameter) Hollow shaft (can be inserted whilst stationary)Yes (inner diameter 11 mm) Mounting on standExtension rod (diameter 16 mm / length 220 mm) Housing materialCoated cast aluminium and special thermoplastic Protection class according to DIN EN 60529IP 54 (splash- and steam-proof) Dimensions (width x depth x height)89 x 191 x 237 mm Net weight3.9 kg Permissible ambient temperature+5 to +40 °C (relative humidity up to 80 per cent) Scope of delivery 1 x IKA EUROSTAR 100 control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105159) 1 x Integrated extension rod for tripod mounting 1 x universal mains lead 1 x Detailed operating instructions / safety guide Individual requirements and procurement service We stock original IKA system peripherals for the EUROSTAR 100 control: Agitation tools & shaft protection: Stainless steel and PTFE agitators (e.g. propeller agitators, anchor agitators, dissolver discs) as well as the matching IKA R 401 agitator shaft guard with hinge (MPN 0020122349) Stand accessories: Sturdy IKA telescopic stands (e.g. R 2723) and cross-sockets (e.g. R 270) for securing the 3.9-kilogram drive Temperature measurement technology: IKA PT1000 stainless steel temperature probes for utilising the integrated temperature monitoring directly within the medium Please make use of our technical procurement service when planning the digitalisation of your laboratory processes.

With a mixing capacity of 100 l and a torque of 200 Ncm, the EUROSTAR 200 digital forms part of IKA’s classic range, which has been tried and tested for many years and continues to be manufactured alongside the newer digital LCD generation. Instead of an LCD display, a 7-segment LED display shows the speed; two switchable speed ranges cover both low-speed, high-torque applications and rapid stirring of thinner media. For anyone looking for a robust, straightforward agitator without additional electronics, the EUROSTAR 200 digital is the right choice. It shares the motor, gearbox and base housing with the EUROSTAR 200 control and can be swapped for the better-equipped model at any time if required, without altering the stability on the stand.Two speed ranges for two tasksIn Range I, the stirrer delivers a torque of up to 200 Ncm at speeds between 6 and 400 rpm, suitable for viscous media and large stirring tools. In range II, the speed increases to up to 2,000 rpm, whilst the torque drops to a maximum of 40 Ncm, making it suitable for low-viscosity samples that require rapid stirring rather than high torque. The microprocessor-controlled system maintains the set speed constantly, even if the viscosity of the sample changes during the stirring process. According to the manufacturer, viscosities of up to 100,000 mPas are possible.Mechanics and connectionThe brushless DC motor draws 130 watts and delivers up to 84 watts to the stirring shaft. Stirring shafts are mounted via a 10 mm diameter plug-in coupling and a collet chuck ranging from 0.5 to 10 mm; the hollow shaft, with an internal diameter of 10.3 mm, can be inserted whilst the unit is stationary. With an IP 42 rating, the degree of protection is lower than that of the newer digital LCD models, but this is sufficient for standard laboratory use. An electronic safety circuit cuts off power in the event of a fault or overload, and an error code is displayed directly on the screen. The unit is also available in voltage versions of 100 to 115 V and 100 V, which is useful for locations outside the European 230 V mains supply or for replacing an older stirrer on the same circuit.Typical applicationsPowerful stirring of viscous media up to 100 l in Zone IRapid stirring of low-viscosity samples up to 2,000 rpm in range IIRobust continuous operation without display electronics or additional wireless functionsMixing processes with viscosities up to 100,000 mPasSelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range.

One hundred litres of water and a peak torque of 200 Ncm elevate the EUROSTAR 100 digital into a performance class intended for larger-scale applications in pilot plants or process development. The housing shares the platform with the smaller EUROSTAR 20 digital; the same compact design here houses a significantly more powerful brushless motor. The LCD display shows speed, the timer and a torque trend; the device can be connected to labworldsoft via USB-C and RS232.Torque: peak value and continuous operationAccording to the manufacturer, the maximum torque of the EUROSTAR 100 digital is 200 Ncm; this value applies to short-term acceleration at 30 to 600 rpm for up to 20 minutes. In continuous operation between 600 and 1,300 rpm, the usable torque ranges from 120 to 100 Ncm; at speeds between 1,300 and 2,000 rpm, it drops further to 100 to 60 Ncm. Anyone stirring highly viscous media up to 70,000 mPas on a continuous basis should therefore base their calculations on the lower continuous value; the peak value is available for brief load peaks during start-up. The brushless DC motor draws 186 watts and delivers up to 136 watts to the stirring shaft.Operation and interfacesThe speed ranges from 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute and can be adjusted continuously with an accuracy of ±1 rpm. The Quick Sense Keyless Chuck handles tool changes without a chuck key; stirring shafts from 0.5 to 10 mm fit into the chuck. The hollow shaft, with an internal diameter of 11 mm, can be inserted whilst the machine is stationary. With a noise level of 52 dB(A) without a mixing tool, the unit achieves ISO cleanroom class 7 at 900 rpm and class 8 at 1,800 rpm. The housing, made of coated cast aluminium and thermoplastic, is protected against dust and splashing water to IP 54; a lock button and automatic shut-off in the event of a blockage or when the torque limit is reached round off the safety features.Typical applicationsStirring large batches of up to 100 l in pilot plants and process developmentHigh-viscosity media up to 70,000 mPas in continuous operationStarting up viscous formulations with a brief increase in torqueMixing processes in ISO Class 7 or 8 cleanroomsSelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range: ‘digital’ versions with LCD or LED displays, and ‘control’ versions with a detachable WiCo controller, TFT display and PT1000 temperature measurement.

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 per cent 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.

The IKA EUROSTAR 40 digital overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105155) represents the modernised, mechatronically optimised generation of universal laboratory stirrers for more demanding routine tasks in the higher viscosity range. With a footprint reduced by up to 23 per cent compared to previous models, this unit offers high functional density in a minimal space. Designed for a sample volume of up to 25 litres (based on water), the system reliably handles viscosities of up to 30,000 mPas. This makes it suitable for demanding mixing processes, homogenisation and reproducible test series in a professional B2B laboratory environment. Within the EUROSTAR series, the Model 40 digital bridges the gap between the entry-level Model 20 digital and the high-volume Model 60 digital: With the same stirring capacity of 25 litres as the Model 20 digital, it processes significantly more viscous media up to 30,000 mPas thanks to its higher torque (60 instead of 40 Ncm). Torque trend measurement for viscosity monitoring A key feature of the digital series is the integrated torque trend measurement. The system detects changes in the viscosity of the medium with an accuracy of ±6 Ncm and displays the relative viscosity trend on the LCD screen. This enables laboratory staff to draw conclusions about the status of the mixing process. Thanks to automatic speed adjustment within a range of 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute, the stirrer maintains the selected speed even when viscosity changes. Ergonomic tool change and occupational safety The EUROSTAR 40 digital is designed for user-friendliness and process reliability in continuous operation. The integrated quick-release chuck allows one-handed changing of stirring tools without the need for additional tools. A lock button protects the system from accidental parameter changes whilst it is running. In the event of overload or blockage of the stirring element, independent safety circuits trigger an automatic shut-off. Connectivity and robust housing design With USB-C and RS232 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 protection class IP 54. The brushless DC motor operates with virtually no wear, is quiet (52 dBA) and is designed for a 100 per cent duty cycle in continuous operation. Typical applications Homogenisation of viscous media up to 30,000 mPas, for which the Model 20 digital no longer provides sufficient torque Mixing and dispersing in containers of up to 25 litres with increased viscosity, such as creams, gels or adhesive formulations Reproducible test series in research and quality control at a constant speed, even with viscous formulations Routine laboratory operation where greater stirring power is required without a larger footprint Technical details Drive & Performance Data Motor principleBrushless DC motor (BLDC) Motor power consumption118 watts Motor power output84 watts Max. power at the mixing shaft84 watts Power consumption186 watts Permissible duty cycle100 per cent (designed for continuous operation) Voltage range100 to 240 V / frequency 50/60 Hz Mixing & viscosity data Maximum mixing volume per mixing point (water)25 litres Maximum viscosity30,000 mPas Maximum torque at the stirring shaft60 Ncm Maximum torque at 30 to 200 rpm60 Ncm Max. torque at 200 to 2,000 rpm60 to 40 Ncm (linear adjustment) Rated torque0.4 Nm Speed & time control Speed range30 to 2000 rpm (revolutions per minute) Speed adjustmentContinuously variable via electronic control Setting accuracy for speed±1 rpm Speed measurement deviation (n > 300 rpm)±1 per cent Speed measurement deviation (n < 300 rpm)±3 rpm TimerYes, built-in (setting range 1 to 6000 minutes) Reversible direction of rotation / intermittent operationNo / No Metrology & Sensors Speed display & timer displayDigital LCD display Torque measurementIntegrated viscosity trend (trend mode) Deviation in torque trend±6 Ncm Temperature display / external sensor connectionNo / No Design & Geometry Mixing tool mountingQuick-release chuck (clamping range: diameters 0.5 to 10 mm) Hollow shaft (can be inserted whilst stationary)Yes (internal diameter 11 mm) Mounting on a standExtension rod (diameter 16 mm / length 220 mm) Housing materialCoated cast aluminium and thermoplastic Protection class according to DIN EN 60529IP 54 (splash- and steam-proof) Noise level without tools52 dB(A) Dimensions (width x depth x height)89 x 191 x 237 mm Net weight3.8 kg Permissible ambient temperature+5 to +40 °C (relative humidity up to 80 per cent) Scope of delivery 1 x IKA EUROSTAR 40 digital overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105155) 1 x integrated extension rod for stand mounting 1 x universal mains lead 1 x Detailed operating instructions / safety guide Individual requirements and procurement service We stock original IKA system peripherals to equip the EUROSTAR 40 digital mixing workstation: Stirring tools & shaft guards: Stainless steel and PTFE stirring elements (e.g. propeller stirrers, anchor stirrers, paddle stirrers) as well as the matching IKA R 401 stirring shaft guard with hinge (MPN 0020122349) Stand accessories: Sturdy IKA bench stands (e.g. R 1826) and cross-sockets (e.g. R 182) for securing the 3.8-kilogram drive Please make use of our technical procurement service to ensure your laboratory workstations are configured to meet your specific requirements.

With a mixing capacity of 150 l and a torque of 400 Ncm, the EUROSTAR 400 digital is the most powerful digital model in the classic EUROSTAR series, designed for pilot plants and large batches involving viscous to highly viscous media. The larger chuck, wider housing and more powerful motor clearly distinguish this unit from the smaller EUROSTAR 200 models, whilst the operating logic, featuring two speed ranges and a 7-segment LED display, remains the same. Anyone who regularly runs batches of over 100 l or works with viscous, high-viscosity formulations will find this to be the most powerful version available without additional wireless functions.Power for large batchesIn low-speed range I, the mixer delivers up to 400 Ncm of torque at speeds between 6 and 400 rpm; in the faster range II, the speed reaches up to 2,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 80 Ncm. According to the manufacturer, viscosities of up to 100,000 mPas are possible; the brushless DC motor draws 220 watts and delivers up to 176 watts to the stirring shaft. The chuck accommodates stirring shafts with diameters ranging from 3 to 16 mm, significantly more than the smaller models in the series, to suit the larger stirring tools used with batch sizes of 150 l. The speed can be adjusted continuously with an accuracy of ±1 rpm; the digital LED display shows the current value directly on the unit.Design and connectionMeasuring 114 x 325 x 245 mm and weighing 8.4 kg, the unit is noticeably larger and heavier than the 200 series models; a correspondingly sturdy stand with a 16 mm arm diameter is therefore essential. The hollow shaft, with an internal diameter of 10.3 mm, can be inserted whilst the unit is stationary; the housing, made of coated cast aluminium and thermoplastic, is protected against foreign bodies larger than 1 mm and dripping water when tilted up to 15° in accordance with IP 42. An electronic safety circuit cuts off the power in the event of a fault or overload; additional voltage variants of 115 V and 100 V are available for locations outside the 230 V mains supply. The 16 mm extension arm is shorter than that of the 200 series models; however, whilst having the same diameter, it supports the greater weight of the larger stirring shafts and tools more stably on the stand.Typical applicationsStirring large batches of up to 150 l in pilot plants and technical centresPowerful mixing of viscous to highly viscous media up to 100,000 mPasRapid stirring of thinner samples in the higher-speed range IIContinuous operation with larger stirring tools from 3 mm shaft diameterUpgrading from a 200-series model as batch volumes increaseSelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range; the EUROSTAR 400 digital, together with its ‘control’ counterpart, represents the highest performance tier.

Twenty-five litres of water at a torque of 40 Ncm characterise the lowest power setting of IKA’s current EUROSTAR digital generation. According to the manufacturer, the compact housing requires up to 23 per cent less floor space than its predecessors, whilst the LCD display shows speed, the timer and a torque trend simultaneously. For standard laboratories that regularly stir small to medium-sized batches and require cleanroom compatibility, the EUROSTAR 20 digital is the entry-level model in the range. The electronics are microprocessor-controlled and maintain the set speed even if the viscosity of the sample changes during the stirring process.Mechanics and tool changeThe brushless DC motor draws 70 watts and delivers up to 22 watts to the stirring shaft, with a duty cycle of 100 per cent in continuous operation. The speed ranges from 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute; the maximum torque of 40 Ncm decreases linearly to 20 Ncm at higher speeds. This performance is therefore sufficient for samples up to 10,000 mPas. The Quick Sense Keyless Chuck replaces the traditional chuck key; stirring shafts from 0.5 to 10 mm can be changed with one hand. The hollow shaft, with an internal diameter of 11 mm, can be inserted whilst the unit is stationary, which is practical for stirring elements that are inserted from above.Cleanroom-compatible and protectedWith a noise level of 52 dB(A) without a stirring tool, the EUROSTAR 20 digital achieves ISO cleanroom class 7 at 900 rpm and class 8 at 1,800 rpm, which is relevant for pharmaceutical, biotech and electronics laboratories. The housing, made of coated cast aluminium and thermoplastic, is chemical-resistant and protected against dust and splashing water in accordance with IP 54. A lock button prevents accidental adjustment during cleaning; the unit switches off automatically if the stirring tool becomes blocked or when the torque limit is reached. USB-C and RS232 interfaces connect the stirrer to IKA’s labworldsoft, the measurement and control software that allows speed and time profiles to be documented.Typical applicationsHomogenisation of small to medium batches up to 25 lStirring of low- to medium-viscosity samples in Class 7 or 8 cleanroomsMixing tasks in research and development with documented speed curvesRoutine laboratory work involving frequent tool changes without the need for a chuck keySelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range: ‘digital’ versions with LCD or LED displays, and ‘control’ versions with a detachable WiCo controller, TFT display and PT1000 temperature measurement.

Maximum power for viscous media: IKA EUROSTAR 200 P4 control The IKA EUROSTAR 200 P4 control (MPN 0004090000) is an extremely powerful laboratory stirrer designed for applications that push conventional stirrers to their limits. Where other motors overheat or seize up, the P4 is only just getting started: thanks to a special reduction gearbox, it converts speed into pure torque. With 660 Ncm, it is ideally suited for processing highly viscous substances such as adhesives, polymers, pastes or paints with a viscosity of up to 150,000 mPas. Wireless Control (WiCo): Safety from a distance Like all models in the “control” series, the EUROSTAR 200 P4 also features the detachable WiCo (Wireless Controller) control unit. Remote control: Control and monitor the stirrer wirelessly from a distance of up to 10 metres. This is ideal when the unit is located in a fume cupboard or when working with hazardous vapours. Process monitoring: The TFT display shows not only the speed but also the current torque. Changes in the sample’s viscosity are thus immediately visible. Smart functions for the Laboratory 4.0 Torque trend measurement: Record relative changes in viscosity over time. Interfaces: The instrument can be connected to a PC via USB and RS 232. Using the labworldsoft software (®), you can programme and document complex test sequences. Temperature measurement: A connection for a PT 1000 temperature sensor is integrated. This allows you to ensure that your temperature-sensitive samples do not overheat (limit values can be set). Powerful, yet controlled Despite its enormous power, the brushless motor operates quietly and requires no maintenance. The speed can be continuously adjusted from 4 to 530 rpm – the focus here is clearly on power in the low-speed range, not on high speed. An electronic safety cut-out protects the motor in the event of overload or blockage. Areas of application Polymer synthesis: Stirring of viscous melts. Building materials industry: Mixing mortar or cement samples on a laboratory scale. Cosmetics: Production of highly viscous creams and pastes. Adhesive development: Homogenisation of resins.

The IKA EUROSTAR 20 high-speed control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105161) represents the most technologically advanced level of compact high-speed laboratory stirrers. With a reduction in space requirements of up to 23 per cent compared to older generations of equipment, this unit offers high functional density within a minimal footprint. Designed for demanding mixing, dispersing and emulsifying tasks in a B2B laboratory environment, it processes sample volumes of up to 20 litres (based on water) and handles viscosities of up to 10,000 mPas. It is suitable for rheological investigations, ultra-fine emulsions and documented scaling processes. Within the EUROSTAR series, the Model 20 high speed control combines the wide speed range of the Model 20 high speed digital (150 to 6,000 rpm) with the sensor technology of the control series: TFT display, absolute torque and temperature measurement, and reversible rotation direction, though without Wi-Fi and with a wired Ethernet connection only. Torque monitoring and integrated viscosity calculation The metrological heart of the control series is an integrated torque sensor, which enables torque monitoring with an accuracy of ±1 Ncm. Based on these measured values, the internal microprocessor calculates the viscosity of the medium and displays the viscosity in mPas on the graphic display. Thanks to the electronic speed control in the high-speed range from 150 to 6,000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor adapts dynamically to load changes. Advanced process functions and Scope of delivery The EUROSTAR 20 high speed control features an integrated temperature measurement function (via PT1000 interface), a rotation direction that can be reversed at the touch of a button (anti-clockwise/clockwise rotation), and a programmable interval mode. The R 6000 precision stirring shaft (length 280 mm, maximum immersion depth 220 mm), included in the Scope of delivery, ensures the system is ready for immediate use. A lock button protects the system against accidental changes to parameters, whilst an integrated timer and a counter function support scheduled test series. Industry 4.0 network integration and robust housing With USB-C, RS232 and Ethernet interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be connected to control computers and automated and validated via the labworldsoft laboratory software.

The motor, gearbox and mixing capacity of the EUROSTAR 200 control are exactly the same as those of the digital model in the same performance class, handling up to 100 l of water and 200 Ncm of torque at low speeds. The difference lies in the operation: a digital, multilingual TFT display, a detachable remote control called WiCo and a connection for an external PT1000 temperature sensor transform the basic unit into a stirrer with process documentation. Anyone wishing to record the temperature and torque curve of a reaction without having to stand by the stand is better off with the control model than with the digital model. The additional electronics do not alter either the stirring capacity or the basic mechanics; a later switch between the two versions is possible on the same stand without any modification.WiCo, TFT display and temperature measurementThe WiCo wireless controller can be detached from the base unit and transmits control signals wirelessly over a range of up to 150 metres, depending on the building layout; this is particularly useful for stirring points that are difficult to access or mounted within a fume cupboard. Using the optional H 67.60 stainless steel temperature probe, which is included in the Scope of delivery, the unit measures the sample temperature between -10 and 350 degrees Celsius with a resolution of 0.1 K. The torque display shows a trend value, which is helpful for detecting changes in the sample’s viscosity during stirring, although it does not replace a calibrated absolute measurement.Mechanics, connection and batteryThe brushless DC motor draws 135 watts and delivers up to 84 watts to the stirring shaft; the two speed ranges are from 6 to 400 rpm with a maximum of 200 Ncm and from 30 to 2,000 rpm with a maximum of 40 Ncm. Stirring shafts are mounted via a 10 mm diameter plug-in coupling and a collet ranging from 0.5 to 10 mm. RS232 and Micro-USB interfaces connect the device to labworldsoft. The WiCo controller contains a permanently installed lithium-polymer cell with 3.7 V and 7.4 Wh, which is housed within the unit and cannot be removed separately. The IP 40 protection rating is lower than that of the basic units without wireless electronics; however, this is sufficient for normal laboratory use on a stand.Typical applicationsDocumented stirring with temperature and torque curves via the PT1000 sensorRemote operation via the detachable WiCo controller, for example at a fume cupboardPowerful stirring of viscous media up to 100 l at low speedsProcess development with RS232/USB connection to labworldsoftSelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range. The EUROSTAR 200 control shares the motor, gearbox and stirring capacity with the digital model in the same class, whilst also featuring a WiCo controller, TFT display and PT1000 temperature measurement.ModelMax. stirring capacity (H2O)Max. torqueMax. viscosityDisplay/FeaturesEUROSTAR 20 digital25 l40 Ncm10,000 mPasLCD, USB-C/RS232EUROSTAR 100 digital100 l200 Ncm (short-term)70,000 mPasLCD, USB-C/RS232EUROSTAR 200 digital100 l200 Ncm100,000 mPasLEDEUROSTAR 200 control (this product)100 l200 Ncm100,000 mPasTFT, WiCo, PT1000EUROSTAR 400 digital150 l400 N·cm100,000 mPasLEDEUROSTAR 400 control150 l400 Ncm100,000 mPasTFT, WiCo, PT1000For those stirring smaller volumes of up to 5 l, the MICROSTAR and MINISTAR series offer the ideal alternative, such as the MICROSTAR 7.5 control.Technical detailsMax. stirring capacity (H2O)100 lMotor power consumption135 WMotor power output84 WSpeed range I6 to 400 rpm, max. 200 NcmSpeed range II30 to 2,000 rpm, max. 40 NcmMax. viscosity100,000 mPasConnection for external temperature sensorPT1000, measuring range -10 to 350 °CChuck clamping range0.5 to 10 mmPlug-in connector10 mmHollow shaft, internal diameter10.3 mmWiCo communication range (depending on the building)max. 150 mWiCo controller battery1x LiPo, 3.7 V, 7.4 Wh, 55 g, permanently fitted in the unitProtection classIP 40 (DIN EN 60529)Dimensions (W x H x D)91 x 297 x 231 mmWeight4.9 kgConnected load230 V, 50/60 Hz, 135 W (other voltage options: 100 to 115 V / 100 V)Scope of deliveryEUROSTAR 200 control stirrer (basic unit), ID no. 0003992000Temperature probe H 67.60, stainless steel (PT1000)WiCo mounting bracket WH11WiCo power supply OS 1.0USB cable (USB-A to Micro-B), 2 mScrewdriverProtective cap for the WiCo contactChuck keyWarranty and procurement serviceIKA provides a manufacturer’s warranty for the EUROSTAR 200 control: 2 years, extended to 3 years upon registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.
