An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, a setter, and a controller. The setter is configured to modifiably set a change characteristic in changing a rotational state of the motor from a low speed rotation to a high speed rotation. The high speed rotation is greater than the low speed rotation in rotational frequency of the motor.

A portable torque power tool is disclosed herein and includes: a motor to generate a turning force; a drive to transfer the turning force; a turning force multiplication mechanism assembly to multiply the turning force; a shifter assembly to shift the tool between a lower speed/higher torque (LSHT) mode and a higher speed/lower torque (HSLT) mode; a torque transducer to measure torque output from a portion of the turning force multiplication mechanism assembly; wherein torque output is controlled by the torque transducer in LSHT mode; and wherein torque output is controlled by motor current in HSLT mode.

The present invention provides methods and systems an impact wrench having dynamically tuned drive components, such as an anvil/socket combination, and related methodology for dynamically tuning the drive components in view of inertia displacement, as well as stiffness between coupled components, and with regard to impact timing associated with clearance gaps between the component parts.

A pressing and driving mechanism, adapted for use in an electric screwdriver, includes a housing, an output member connected to the housing and movable relative to the housing with user intervention, a first adjustment member connected to the output member and moving along with the latter, and a second adjustment member fixed relative to the housing. The second adjustment member is adapted to be in mechanical contact with the first adjustment member. The first adjustment member moves relative to the second adjustment member when the output member moves relative to the housing, whereby the pressing and driving mechanism actively or passively outputs a continuously changing signal. The present invention can realize the function of automatically changing the output torque/speed with the pressing depth when the electric screwdriver is pressed by the user toward the wall or other workpiece.

A power tool includes a motor including a rotor and multi-phase stator windings; a driver circuit having multiple switch elements for outputting switch signals to drive the motor to rotate; and a controller electrically connected to at least the driver circuit and the motor. The controller is configured to acquire rotor position information of the motor and adjust a resultant magnetic potential of the motor according to the rotor position information such that an output electrical parameter of the motor corresponding to the resultant magnetic potential is within a preset parameter range.

A power tool communication system including an external device including a first controller configured to transmit, via wireless communication to a power tool, configuration data including a work light duration parameter value and a work light brightness parameter value. The power tool includes a housing, a brushless direct current (DC) motor, a trigger, a work light, a wireless communication circuit configured to wirelessly communicate with the external device to receive the configuration data, and a second controller configured to control a work light duration of the work light based on the work light duration parameter value, and control a work light brightness of the work light based on the work light brightness parameter value.

A rotary tool includes a motor having an axis of rotation extending in a forward-rearward direction of the rotary tool. A grip part is located below the axis of rotation in an up-down direction that is perpendicular to the forward-rearward direction. A planet gear is configured to be driven by the motor. An internal gear meshes with the planet gear and is movable in the forward-rearward direction to change a speed. A sun gear meshes with the planet gear, and an output shaft is configured to be rotationally driven by the sun gear. A sensor is configured to detect the forward-rearward movement of the internal gear, the sensor being disposed downward of the sun gear in the up-down direction.

A rotary impact tool in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, an impact mechanism, an impact detector, and a controller. The controller executes constant duty ratio control from when the motor is started until an impact is detected by the impact detector. The controller executes constant rotation speed control in response to detection of an impact by the impact detector.

Improved techniques for remotely monitoring and managing fasteners and fastener driver conditions, are provided. In some aspects of the invention, conditions of a fastener and/or structural material(s) held by the fastener and/or connector, are monitored by a control system including sensor(s) at least partially embedded in, on or throughout the fastener and/or structural material(s). When an adverse condition is sensed, a torque may be remotely applied to the fastener, in some embodiments. In some embodiments, other remedial actions may be taken by the control system. In some embodiments, such sensor(s) include a magnetizable array, which may include one or more charge-carrying and/or otherwise magnetic wires or particles on, about, or embedded within, the fastener and/or structural material. In some embodiments, such remote monitoring includes testing a magnetic signature of the fastener and/or structural material (e.g., via remote scanning and/or testing).

A fastening system that comprises a fastener and a single tool that provides both snugging torque and final tensioning to the fastener assembly, from a single side, with a single operator, with no torque feedback. The fastener comprises a nut and a bolt with a head and a shank extending axially from the head. The shank has at least one threaded portion and at least one splined portion, the splined portion defining the end of the bolt. The splined portion remains connected to the threaded portion after final tensioning. The tool comprises a first socket and a second socket, wherein the first socket is engaged with an outer surface of the nut and the second socket is engaged with the splined portion on the fastener. Snugging torque and final tension are both controlled by the tool.
