ABSTRACT:
A dental scaler is disclosed wherein an air-driven rotor is driven about a shaft to impart vibrations thereto and drive a work tool or other object attached to the shaft. The vibratory device includes means on the shaft for correcting displacement of the rotor from its drive position. That means comprises a portion of the shaft beneath the rotor means having an enlarged diameter such that movement of the rotor caused by shaft wear is corrected. Additional means may be associated with the rotor, e.g., chamfered end edges of the rotor, which minimize pressure differentials at the end of the rotor edges and consequently assist in centralization of the rotor about the outlet means on the shaft. The fluid outlet means comprises outlet ports in the shaft wall beneath the area of rotation of the rotor, the outlet ports having chamfered outside end edges to minimize power losses from turbulence. Additionally, means are provided along the shaft for selecting the vibrational mode in which the vibratory device operates.
