Medical or surgical handpiece
A medical or surgical handpiece for driving a medical tool comprises a housing, a drive train accommodated therein and a motor. The motor includes a first drive shaft and a second shaft, the second shaft being at least partially arranged in the first drive shaft and mounted to rotate freely relative to the first drive shaft via at least one bearing, so that the second shaft is rotatable independently of the first shaft.
1. Medical or surgical handpiece for driving a medical tool, comprising:
a housing; and
a drive train accommodated in the housing, the drive train comprising a motor with a first drive shaft and a second shaft, the second shaft being at least partially arranged in the first drive shaft, wherein the second shaft is hollow and is mounted with at least one bearing to rotate freely relative to the first drive shaft so that the second shaft is rotatable independently of the first drive shaft, wherein the drive train further comprises a gear with a second output shaft, the gear being connected to the first drive shaft to drive the second output shaft at a rotational speed different from that of the first drive shaft.
2. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the first drive shaft is configured in two parts as a motor shaft and as a first output shaft.
3. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one bearing to support the second shaft and wherein the at least one bearing is positioned within the drive train.
4. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 3 , wherein the bearing is supported on one end of the drive train or of a shaft part of the drive train by a recess in the shaft wall.
5. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one bearing to support the second shaft, and wherein the at least one bearing is supported on a rotationally fixed component of the handpiece.
6. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 5 , wherein the bearing is accommodated in a housing opening arranged coaxially with the drive train.
7. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 5 , wherein the drive train and the second shaft have a through-bore which passes through the handpiece.
8. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bearing is a roller bearing or a ball bearing.
9. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the second shaft is configured in two parts.
10. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 9 , wherein the drive train and the second shaft have a through-bore which passes through the handpiece.
11. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the drive train and the second shaft have a through-bore which passes through the handpiece.
12. Medical or surgical handpiece for driving a medical tool, comprising:
a housing; and
a drive train accommodated in the housing, the drive train comprising a motor with a first drive shaft and a second shaft, the second shaft being at least partially arranged in the first drive shaft, wherein the second shaft is hollow and is mounted with at least one bearing to rotate freely relative to the first drive shaft so that the second shaft is rotatable independently of the first drive shaft,
wherein the first drive shaft is configured in two parts as a motor shaft and as a first output shaft, and
wherein the drive train further comprises a gear with a second output shaft, the gear being connected to the first drive shaft to drive the second output shaft at a rotational speed different from that of the first output shaft.
13. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 12 , wherein the first output shaft extends at least partially through the second output shaft.
14. Medical or surgical handpiece, comprising:
a housing; and
a drive train accommodated in the housing, the drive train comprising a motor with a first drive shaft and a second shaft, the second shaft being at least partially arranged in the first drive shaft, wherein the second shaft is mounted with at least one bearing to rotate freely relative to the first drive shaft so that the second shaft is rotatable independently of the first drive shaft,
wherein the drive train further comprises a gear with a second output shaft, the gear being connected to the first drive shaft to drive the second output shaft at a rotational speed different from that of the first drive shaft, and
wherein the second shaft extends at least partially through the second output shaft.
15. Medical or surgical handpiece for driving a medical tool, comprising:
a housing; and
a drive train accommodated in the housing, the drive train comprising a motor with a first drive shaft and a second shaft, the second shaft being at least partially arranged in the first drive shaft, wherein the second shaft is hollow and is mounted with at least one bearing to rotate freely relative to the first drive shaft so that the second shaft is rotatable independently of the first drive shaft, wherein the drive train additionally has a coupling device to accommodate a tool or a surgical wire.
16. Medical or surgical handpiece according to claim 15 , wherein the coupling device is detachable from the drive train.
