MSK-ESDC-Y Movable Plate Collector with Adjustable 1-13 mm/s Speed for DIY Electrospinning Systems
The MSK-ESDC-Y is engineered to facilitate controlled collection of electrospun fibers by vertically moving a stainless steel plate collector at variable speeds. This capability is essential for researchers and developers aiming to optimize fiber alignment and morphology during electrospinning processes. The collector’s movement allows adjustment of fiber deposition dynamics, improving uniformity and enabling advanced experimental setups.
Equipped with a digital speed controller, the MSK-ESDC-Y provides precise speed adjustment from 0 to 13 mm per second. The plate moves within a maximum vertical travel of 80 mm, monitored by a position limit switch to prevent overtravel. The 24 V DC motor drive is suitable for use in inert gas gloveboxes, supporting electrospinning under controlled atmospheres. The unit operates on standard 110-220 VAC power with a power consumption of 50 W.

The MSK-ESDC-Y is ideal for laboratory-scale electrospinning experiments where controlled fiber alignment and deposition are critical. It supports research in polymer nanofiber fabrication, tissue engineering scaffolds, filtration membranes, and other advanced material development requiring precise collector motion.
Configuration & Operating Notes
This collector is supplied as a standalone unit and requires integration with other electrospinning components such as a high voltage power supply, syringe pump, and injection nozzle, which are not included. Users must ensure proper grounding and perform GFCI tests before initial use to prevent electrical hazards. The unit’s 24 V DC motor allows safe operation inside argon gloveboxes. Due to the high voltage involved in electrospinning, operators should use appropriate personal protective equipment and conduct experiments within a fume hood or enclosed system with proper exhaust.
