Rating of the best dental micromotors for 2020

A dental office or laboratory cannot do without an important tool - a dental micromotor. As a rule, these are hand tools that are used for milling, grinding, polishing work on one of the listed materials: metal, ceramics, plastic and wax. The wide range of products confuses the buyer. In this regard, an overview of the most popular micromotors for dentists and technicians for 2020 is presented with their pros and cons.

General information about the product - selection criteria

Micromotors are electrical tools that are equipped with a special clamp where the workpiece is inserted.

Based on the design features, one can understand what models of micromotors are.

Construction of equipment - detailing of individual sections of the tool

The main parts of the product include the power supply and control unit, as well as the dental attachment / micromotor "E" on which a straight or inclined dental rotary is mounted. tip.

The designs provide the following connectors: for connecting a power cable and a foot pedal, control and display elements.

The dental handpiece is the main part of the micromotor, which is carried out in a separate housing, where the electric motor and collet assembly are placed.

Definition! The collet assembly is an assembled mechanism that is designed to transfer rotation to the tool, secure fastening. It is screwed onto an electric motor. Fastening is provided by a collet type clamp.

Product classification - which is the best dental instrument to buy

All commercial units are divided into two types: brush and brushless.The first (they are also called collector) engines are easy to manufacture due to physical features (primitive adjustment of torque and speed). Distinctive characteristics:

• budget cost;
• rotation frequency no more than 40,000 rpm;
• collector - brush.

The second (they are called brushless) motors have a good technical base, which affects their cost. Due to the absence of rubbing surfaces, the principle of regulation of the speed and torque on the shaft, they have a huge service life and safety margin. The only drawback is that they are practically beyond repair.

There are portable models and adapters according to their configuration. Portable micromotors are fully equipped with the necessary elements (foot pedal, handpiece stand, control unit). The "adapter" requires additional equipment, is necessarily equipped with a motor, and sometimes with several attachments (tips).

Selection tips - what to look for when buying a micromotor

How to choose a dental micromotor. Basic information can be found on the Internet, read customer reviews, view reviews on a particular model. This approach will save time when making a purchase directly.

The second question is where to buy the tool. Portable models are best purchased at Medtekhnika-type stores. This will allow you to visually verify the operation of the device, assess the risks of malfunctions, and secure a manufacturer's warranty.

Adapters (they can be with or without light) can be ordered online at any relevant website. At the same time, this approach will save the budget by analyzing the price segment for the same instrument in different virtual stores. The availability of a warranty card for the product from the manufacturer will help to reduce the risks of purchasing low-quality products.

Key parameters to focus on when purchasing a dental motor:

• number of revolutions;
• torque indicator;
• motor type;
• Control block.

Most manufacturers indicate the maximum number of revolutions per minute that a technician can make. It is worth considering the fact that working at maximum speeds, the product wears out quickly. In this regard, the risks should be assessed, and if 35 rpm is required, then it is better to take a model with a high declared speed.

The performance of the equipment is characterized by the torque. A powerful apparatus must be chosen if you plan to work with hard material. At the same time, it is important that the power is not “lost” at increased loads.

On a note! High-performance engines last longer and overheat less during continuous operation.

As for the type of engine: if the device is necessary for the preparation of hard alloys and gypsum, then it is better to use brushless devices, since they have a narrower specialization.

When choosing a control unit, you need to study which micromotors it is compatible with, since not all are suitable for simultaneous use with brush and brushless devices.
