IKA HS 501 digital is a low-profile laboratory shaker designed for stable and uniform sample agitation with loads up to 15 kg. It combines reciprocating motion with a 30 mm stroke, continuously adjustable speed from 0 to 300 rpm, and a large 450 × 450 mm mounting surface. This makes it particularly suitable for applications involving horizontally positioned vessels, including separating funnels.
The unit is built for long-term operation and supports both timed shaking and continuous running. Digital speed indication together with USB-B and RS 232 connectivity supports efficient day-to-day laboratory use and integration into broader workflows.
