What Is Dental Turbines & How It Works
The dental turbine is built with a chuck which is where you put in your burr. A chuck can be a push button lever or friction. The chuck also acts as a shaft to mount the impeller and the bearings. The "O" rings are located in the head and back cap of the handpiece.
The impeller is mounted
in the middle of the chuck. The location of the impeller is significant and
requires close measurement to locate correctly. The bearings are located on
each end of the impeller on the chuck. All of these pieces are pressed on with
an arbor press.
After the assembly, the
bearings must be lubricated with a bearing oil explicitly formulated for high-speed
bearings. It is important to note that some bearings do not require
lubrication. Ceramic bearings are one example. Talk to your service provider to
discuss the best bearings for your dental handpiece repair tools.
