Abstract

A pendulum suspended, hydraulically driven basket centrifuge comprises a centrifuge basket adapted to be rotated about a vertical axis by a hydraulic motor. The basket is mounted on the upper end of a vertically extending main spindle which is journalled within a cylindrical casing by means of two bearing assemblies disposed at upper and lower portions on the spindle, respectively. The hydraulic motor, the casing, the bearing assemblies and the main spindle are constructed as a cartridge unit which can be removed from the basket as a complete sub-assembly.
