• Actual speeds are displayed and maintained by a synthetic tachogenerator. (Speed is kept within less than 1% of the base speed from no load to more than 100% of full load regardless of AC line voltage fluctuations of ±10%)
• Viscosity measurement is easier, thanks to a controller with a digital readout switchable between speed and torque.
• Data on shear stress, shear rate, velocity gradients, and viscosity is accumulated easily with external DC voltage signals for speed and torque (for strip or X-Y recorders) available through an output port on the rear of the control.
• Operator convenience and safety is increased with cord connections between drive motors and controls to allow control placement away from hostile environments.
• Feedback circuitry on all models to maintain speed even when viscosity changes
• A selection of propellers and paddles from 1.5"" to 6"" diameter
• Reference circuitry to maintain speed even with voltage fluctuations of ±10%
• Cord connections between drive motors and controls to increase convenience and allow placement away from hostile environments
• 50/60 Hz operation

1/8 hp, totally enclosed, permanent-magnet DC motor. Direct-drive model provides speeds up to 2,500 rpm and 50 oz.-in. (3.6 kg-cm) of torque. Geared model HST20 gives 2 to 265 rpm and torque of 336 oz.-in. (24.2 kg-cm). Other models provide torques up to 1536 oz.-in. (111 kg-cm). The HST20 includes the drive motor with mounting bracket, controller, clamp, chuck and propeller. Lab stand is not included. Warranty: 1 year. 120 volt.
A more powerful HST30 Series is also available for heavy duty applications.

*Chuck accepts rods up to 3/8"" diameter.
†Chuck accepts rods up to 5/8"" diameter.
