A fuse component configured to provide overcurrent protection for an electric motor comprises a spiral fuse portion and a magnetic core. The spiral fuse portion encloses at least a part of the magnetic core, so that the fuse component is also configured to function as a choke of the electric motor.

A drive including a commutator motor having a motor housing, an end shield secured to the housing, feedthroughs defined in the end shield, brushes mounted in the feedthroughs; and at least one stranded conductor forming a direct electrical and mechanical connection between a brush and the terminal contact arranged outside the motor housing.

A method for regulating a speed of an electric motor of a power tool, the speed of the electric motor being established as a function of an actuation of a control device, the control device being actuated in such a way that a speed is requested which is less than a maximum speed, the speed being set in such a way that, in a first speed range upon an increase of the torque output by the electric motor, the speed decreases with a first negative slope, the speed being set in a second speed range in such a way that the speed proceeds with a second slope upon an increase of the output torque, the second slope being greater than the first slope when considered mathematically.

A DC motor is configured so that, while either one of a pair of power feeding brushes makes contact with two commutator segments, the other makes contact with only one of two commutator segments. The DC motor is further provided with: a plurality of coils; a filter unit; and a calculation unit. The number of turns of a predetermined coil among the plurality of coils is different from the numbers of turns of the other coils. The filter unit allows the passing of the waveform of current generated on the basis of the fact that the numbers of turns are different from each other, and interrupts the waveform of current generated at the switching of the states of the contacts of the power feeding brushes to the commutator segments. The calculation unit calculates a rotational speed from the waveform passed through the filter unit.
