Star offers lubricated and lubeFree ceramic ball bearing turbines. Ceramic is the hardest, yet lightest material of any ball bearing used today, for extended handpiece turbine life. The ceramic bearings help to dissipate the heat generated during use prolonging the turbines effective use. By selecting a lubricated turbine will require a consistent maintenance of lubricant to be sprayed up into the turbine so that the bearings can freely spin to ensure a long operating life. StarDental is the originator of utilizing ceramic ball bearings in handpiece turbines.

When do you need to replace a turbine?
Replace the turbine when the handpiece fails to achieve full speed and/or increases sharply in noise level. You may also need to replace a turbine if the bur is stuck or if the bur starts to slip within the chuck.
How to replace a Star 430 Series Turbine:
- Remove old end cap and turbine assembly.
- Inspect housing before cleaning. Remove any obvious debris to prevent damage and to insure performance of turbine.
- Connect handpiece and run air through turbine housing without turbine installed for 5 seconds.
- Clean housing thoroughly with cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. Dry with syringe air.
- Place turbine assembly into housing and gently insert.
- Position and engage threads of end cap into the housing by hand until snug.
- Tighten end cap with the combination end cap wrench employing the wrench opening marked AC. Position wrench with marked side facing end cap for best wrench control.
