UP-200 Teflon Washer KS-601
This is an OEM-specified PTFE (Teflon) washer/spacer designed for high-speed internal use in the KUPA UP-200 / UG12 handpiece line. It serves as a low-friction spacer or washer between rotating or sliding internal components, helping maintain alignment, reduce wear and enable smoother operation.
Features
-
Low-friction interface: The Teflon material helps reduce internal drag between moving parts, thereby improving the smoothness of rotation and reducing heat/ wear.
-
Precision spacing: Ensures correct clearance in high-speed rotating assemblies—improper spacing can lead to vibration, bit wobble or premature bearing failure.
-
Durability & longevity: Using a proper material and correct dimension part helps the tool maintain performance and lifespan.
-
OEM compatibility: Matching the manufacturer’s part (KS-601) ensures correct fit, dimension and material—reducing risk of substitution errors or fit issues.

Installation Tips
-
Verify that your handpiece’s parts diagram or revision uses part # KS-601 (since internal revisions of the handpiece may alter part numbers).
-
Inspect the current washer’s seating area: the shaft, bearings and housing should be free of significant wear or damage. Replacing the washer alone will not resolve larger misalignment issues.
-
Disconnect power and ensure the handpiece is fully stopped before servicing.
-
Disassemble the relevant portion to access the washer location (likely in the front/spindle or bearing area).
-
Remove the old Teflon washer/spacer, clean the seating surfaces and remove any debris or metal shavings.
-
Install the new KS-601 washer ensuring it lies flat and fully seated.
-
Re-assemble the handpiece and run a no-load test (without a bit) to check for smooth operation and absence of abnormal vibration before full use.
