[0030] A pressure test bracket 9 is installed on the other side of the base plate 1. A side mounting plate 10, a second side mounting plate 11, and a front mounting plate 12 are connected to the pressure test bracket 9. A motor 13 is installed on the first side mounting plate 10. A rotating shaft 14 is arranged between the second side mounting plates 11. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are connected to the second side mounting plates 11 through bearings. A synchronous pulley is installed at one end of the output shaft and the drive shaft of the motor 13. The synchronous pulleys are connected to each other through a synchronous belt 15. The motor drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate through the synchronous pulleys and the synchronous belt.

[0031] An eccentric wheel 16 is machined on the rotating shaft 14, and a cam 17 is sleeved on the outer side of the eccentric wheel 16.

The cam 17 drives the push rod 18 to reciprocate. The pressure block 27 follows the push rod 18 to reciprocate. Then, adjust the front and back position of the dental handpiece through the adjusting seat 2 so that the dental drill gradually contacts the pressure block 27. At this time, the pressure sensor will transmit a signal through the data line, and the reading meter will display the pressure value. Once the test pressure value is reached, turn off the motor, tighten the locking screw 214, and start the motor 13 again to test the dental drill. After testing for a period of time, check whether the bearing is damaged. Then adjust the front and back position of the dental handpiece again, change to different pressure values, record the bearing service life, and improve the bearing according to the bearing damage and location.
