Orbital incubator shakers

An orbital incubator shaker, comprising:

• an incubator housing (1) defining an incubation chamber (2), and
• an orbital shaker (3) configured to shake a shaking table (4), wherein the orbital shaker (3) comprises
• a drive motor comprising a stator and a rotor (9),
• an eccentric bearing mounted to the rotor (9),
• a support structure configured to support the orbital shaker (3) on a base (15) of the incubator housing (1) such that the orbital shaker (3) extends to the inside of the incubation chamber (2), wherein the support structure is implemented as a fixture configured to fix the orbital shaker (3) to a base (15) of the incubator housing (1) or a stand configured to hold the orbital shaker (3) on the base (15) of the incubator housing (1), and
• a bearing (16) configured to support the rotor (9) on the fixture or on the stand,
• wherein the orbital shaker (3) is located within the incubation chamber (2), and the stator is sealed from the incubation chamber (2),
• the rotor (9), the bearing (16), and the fixture or stand are configured to seal the stator from the incubation chamber (2).
