Garland Dental Services provides a dental equipment repair service for customers nationwide, and throughout Canada and Mexico.

Lubrication

The majority of bearing failures is caused by improper lubrication (or lack thereof). Failing to lube or lubricate frequently, failing to purge excess lube or using the wrong lubricant will cause your bearing to fail before its time.

 

Contamination

When dirt gets into the bearing lubricants or sucked back inside during dental procedures, it causes the bearings to become contaminated.

Keep lube nozzles free from contaminants and make sure to purge handpieces after lubricating.

 

Air Pressure and RPMs

All handpiece manufacturers have a recommended air pressure range. Each bearing design has a preferred operating range that is directly related to the air pressure supplied.  Refer to the manufacturers guidelines for recommended air pressure. Failure to follow their guidelines can lead to premature bearing failure (ie "blown bearings").
