Abstract
The invention relates to a flow-through centrifuge which is used, for example, for biotechnical applications, in particular as a blood centrifuge. A driving arrangement and/or transmission arrangement of the flow-through centrifuge comprises a planetary gearset. In the planetary gearset, at least one planetary belt pulley is rotatably supported on a rotating planet carrier. A torque of the planetary belt pulley is transmitted via a belt. The planet carrier and the planetary belt pulley are driven at different rotational speeds. According to the invention, the planet carrier is held by a belt tensioning unit rotating with the planet carrier. A distance of the planet carrier from a rotor axis can be changed via the belt tensioning unit in order to adjust the belt tension of the belt.
