How Fast Does a Low-Speed Handpiece Run?

• The speed depends upon the pressure (PSI) of the air supply, the configuration of the rotor components, and the gears inside the motor.

• The low-speed handpiece is designed to take on much more air pressure than the high-speed one, and its design allows for a wider range of dental procedures.

• You’ll find that a typical low-speed motor without gear reductions, running at 40 PSI should spin around 20,000 RPM.

• The gears on the handpiece allow for significantly more torque.

• The 5,000 RPM handpieces used for prophylaxis generally operate at low speeds.

• Endodontic and implant procedures use attachments to reduce the speed of rotation from 1,500 rpm or less. These attachments generate a high level of torque for optimal control.

How Does a Low-Speed Handpiece Work?

• Airline handsets are attached to the back end of dental handpieces which allows them to be similar to that of a high-speed handpiece.

• When air is introduced into the handpiece, it forces over a rotor with vanes or blades and makes them spin.

• The air moves around the rotor and is then forced out through the back-end exhaust port.

Some low-speed dental handpieces can be operated with both electric motors and air-driven motors; low speeds often refer to work performed under 150000 RPMs which makes them perfect if you want to keep dentistry as minimalistic as possible without sacrificing quality workmanship. Slow-speed handpieces usually have higher torque than their high-velocity counterparts so they’re better at getting out all those nasty pieces stuck between teeth. It is important to take care of these low-speed handpieces as this spells an investment for every dental practitioner.
