Abstract

See full text

Accurate measurement of acceleration caused by imbalance in the balance of a rotor is realized even in high-speed rotation with an acceleration sensor which has a processing speed required in low-speed rotation and a control unit. A centrifuge according to the present invention includes a rotor, a drive source for rotating the rotor, a rotating shaft for coupling the rotor and the drive source, an acceleration sensor, and a control unit. The acceleration sensor outputs values indicating acceleration in two different directions which are perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotating shaft. The control unit obtains an acceleration corresponding value, which is a value corresponding to acceleration in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft, based on values indicating acceleration in the two different directions and stops rotation of the rotor in a case where the acceleration corresponding value satisfies a determination criteria.
