Abstract

The invention relates to a modified bayonet type mounting for use in a centrifuge. The mounting is characterized by having the trailing wall of the socket inclined at an obtuse angle, whereby relative rotation of the drive shaft and rotor during start-up causes the pin of the bayonet mounting to move deeper into the socket.
