Maintenance Free Handpieces

Some handpieces are maintenance free, or Lube Free®, meaning the bearings do not require routine lubrication. However, the push button chuck mechanism is made up of tiny, moving, metal parts that do need cleaning and lubrication to ensure safe performance, and extend the life of the chuck mechanism.

According to StarDental® it is necessary to clean the turbine autochuck once a week.

Here at Dairyland Handpiece we recommend the following steps and care for your maintenance free handpieces:
