ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a centrifugal separator (100) comprising a centrifugal frame (40), a rotatable, vertically arranged, drive spindle (100) provided with a drum (12), and a motor (90) having a vertical rotor axis (91). The spindle (10) is rotatably mounted in a bearing pot (20) and is mounted in a manner that permits it to three-dimensionally move about a pivot (G) in relation to the centrifugal frame (40). The housing of the motor (90) is rigidly fixed to the centrifugal frame (40), with the rotor axis (91) of the motor (90) aligned with the longitudinal axis (11) of the drive spindle (10) when at rest. The motor rotor is connected to the spindle (10) at a coupling point (K) via a flexible coupling element (70). The spindle (10) is mounted in the bearing pot (20) at at least two interspaced bearing points (22, 24) by means of antifriction bearings. The bearing pot (20) is joined to the centrifugal frame (40) via elastic bearing elements (50).
