A pneumatically operated vane-type motor for driving medical or dental handpieces. A stator housing forms a rotor chamber in which a rotor is mounted, the rotor having axial slots in which rotor vanes are radially movably mounted. The rotor rotates about an axis which is parallel to but spaced from the axis of a cylindrical inner surface of the housing which is circular in cross-section. A co-axial bearing ring is rotatably mounted in the inner surface of the housing, and the inner surface of the bearing ring is engaged by the outer ends of the vanes. |
