Abstract
A centrifuge rotor is claimed which comprises a rotor having a plurality of radially extending arms, having a construction to matably receive a pin structure within a recess formed in the upper surface of the rotor, to support the pin structure against loads generated by centrifugal force without stressing a fastener. In assembly, the pin structures permanently mount trunnions for receiving a sample container, for pivotal movement, in a manner such that the trunnion and sample container cooperate to resist stresses and deformation caused by centrifugal loads.
