KP-55 Dust Seal 520K14
The #520K14 dust seal is a precision replacement part designed for the KUPA “KP” series handpieces (such as the KP-55 and KP-60). This copper-material seal sits around the rotating spindle/collet area and protects critical internal components from dust, debris, and contamination — helping maintain smooth rotation, reduce wear, and extend the operational life of the handpiece.
