Abstract
An adjusting device for a pneumatic drive, particularly a pneumatic drive of a medical or dental instrument, for example, a handpiece or angle piece, which delivers its energy by vibration and in which the vibrations are produced by a pneumatic drive, wherein an air flow is controlled by having an air supply line and an air discharge line end at a distance from each other at a surface and by providing a counter-surface which is movable relative to the surface and, which, in dependence of its position relative to the surface, forms a flow path with a defined flow resistance between the air supply line and the air discharge line.
