IKA H36 Holding Rod for IKA Basic Magnetic Stirrer

IKA H36 Holding Rod – High-Stability Mounting Arm for IKA Stirrers

The IKA H36 is a heavy-duty structural support rod designed to provide maximum stability for IKA magnetic hotplate stirrers during intensive laboratory operations. Unlike standard probe holders, the H36 is engineered to mount securely to the stirrer itself, allowing the unit to be rigidly fastened to a laboratory stand or framework. This is an essential accessory for setups where the stirrer must be elevated, angled, or integrated into a closed reaction system where vibration-free performance and precise positioning are non-negotiable. Its robust, all-metal construction ensures that the stirrer remains "locked in," preventing shifts or decoupling during high-speed stirring of high-viscosity media.

Technical Performance and Design

• Structural Rigidity: Fabricated from high-tensile chrome-plated steel to provide a high weight-bearing capacity, specifically designed to support the full weight of the stirrer assembly without flexing or bending.

• Vibration Dampening: By creating a secondary anchor point, the H36 minimizes the lateral movement often associated with high-torque magnetic coupling, extending the life of the motor and improving magnetic bar tracking.

• Anti-Corrosion Finish: Finished with a chemical-resistant coating that protects the rod from acidic or basic vapors commonly encountered in benchtop chemical synthesis.

Product Specifications

• Model Number: H36 (Ident. No. 0002437700)

• Function: Structural Support / Stirrer Mounting

• Material: High-Grade Chrome-Plated Steel

• Compatibility: IKA RCT Basic, RET Basic, RH Digital, and other IKA "Basic" series hotplates.

• Mounting Hardware: Snaps firmly into place on the underside of the hotplate as shown in the photos.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Framework Integration: Crucial for mounting stirrers within modular laboratory racks (lattice stands) used in complex distillation or reflux setups.

• Elevated Operation: Allows for the stirrer to be securely positioned above bench level, facilitating gravity-fed reagent addition or alignment with specialized glassware.

• High-Torque Stability: Prevents the stirrer "walk" or shifting when processing 20L+ of aqueous media or high-viscosity fluids at maximum RPM.

• Professional Workflow: Provides a standardized mounting solution that complies with safety requirements for "unattended operation" by ensuring the primary heating/stirring unit is mechanically fixed.
