  • Patent number: 9537376
    Abstract: An electric motor arrangement for a medical, especially dental, tool handle, which is extremely compact and resistant to sterilizing temperatures due to a plurality of advantageous embodiments. The electric motor arrangement is characterized by the following properties: the use of a light source based on SMD-LED or LED as a semiconductor chip; the shortening of the INTRAmatic coupling to between 20 mm and 25 mm; a hermetically extruded stator comprising integrated media tubes and molded connection sockets; the stator winding is embodied as a coil segment winding instead of an H winding or triangle; and the winding head has openings for media tubes.

  • Patent number: 9522049
    Abstract: An electric-motor arrangement for a medical, in particular dental, handpiece that has a motor housing and a rotor which is arranged in the motor housing so that it can be rotated about an axis via a first bearing and a second bearing. A stator is arranged around the rotor in relation to the axis. The first bearing is received in a first bearing flange, and the second bearing is received in a second bearing flange. Both bearing flanges are composed of metal and adjoin the motor housing directly by way of their circumferential faces. As a result, running noise and vibrations can be reduced. Moreover, premature wear and/or failure can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 8853895
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric-motor arrangement for a medical, in particular dental, hand piece which has a motor housing (2) and a rotor (4) which is arranged in the motor housing (2) so that it can be rotated about an axis (L) via a first bearing (6) and a second bearing (8). A stator (14) is arranged around the rotor (4) in relation to the axis (L). The first bearing (6) is received in a first bearing flange (10), and the second bearing (8) is received in a second bearing flange (12). Both bearing flanges (10, 12) are composed of metal and adjoin the motor housing (2) directly by way of their circumferential faces (101, 121). As a result, running noise and vibrations can be reduced. Moreover, premature wear and/or failure can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 8133053
    Abstract: In an electric motor for use in a dental, dental-medical or dental-technical handpiece, having a rotatably mounted rotor and a stator surrounding the rotor, the stator is surrounded by a sheathing having an inner sleeve, on the outside of which there are arranged functionally relevant components of the stator, for example stator winding(s), return plates, and/or contact pins, and an outer sleeve embedding the inner sleeve with the functionally relevant components.

  • Publication number: 20100233651
    Abstract: In an electric motor for use in a handpiece for dentistry, dental medicine or dental technology, with a rotor held rotatably by a bearing arrangement, and a stator surrounding the rotor, a bearing arrangement has a first bearing located on an end region of the rotor, and a second bearing located on an opposite end region of the rotor, which second bearing is constructed as a movable bearing and is biased in the direction of the first bearing by a spring arrangement. The spring force of the spring arrangement within an operating region is substantially independent of the position of the movable bearing.
