A percussion tool comprises a housing and an electric motor positioned within the housing. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor. The battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells having a nominal voltage of up to 120 Volts. The percussion tool further comprises a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing. The percussion tool has a ratio of impact energy to mass that is greater than or equal to 2.5 Joules/kilogram.

An impact tool includes a tubular tool holder, a hammering mechanism, a resistor, and a biasing member. An impact element moves forward and rearward in conjunction with a piston. An intermediate element is housed movable back and forth between the impact element and a tip tool. The intermediate element abuts on a rear end of the tip tool to indirectly transmit a striking force from the impact element to the tip tool in a normal striking. The resistor is configured to abut on at least one of the intermediate element and the tip tool to apply a resistance to a front-rear movement of at least one of the intermediate element and the tip tool in a non-striking state. The biasing member disposed on the tool holder biases the resistor to a side of at least one of the intermediate element and the tip tool.

An electric power tool is configured to rotate an attachment about a Z-axis. The electric power tool includes a three-axes acceleration sensor and an acceleration detection circuit. The acceleration detection circuit calculates an angular acceleration about the Z-axis based on an input signal from the three-axes acceleration sensor. The acceleration detection circuit calculates a change in an angular velocity based on integrating the angular acceleration for a most recent period. The acceleration detection circuit determines a Z-axis angular velocity about the Z-axis, without adding a previous change in the angular velocity from before the most recent period, as equal to the change in angular velocity. The acceleration detection circuit detects a twisted-motion of the electric power tool based on the Z-axis angular velocity.

A percussion tool comprises a housing and an electric motor positioned within the housing. The motor has a nominal outer diameter of up to about 80 mm and is operable to output at least about 2760 W. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor. The battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells having a nominal voltage of up to 80 Volts and a sustained operating discharge current of between about 40 A and about 60 A. The percussion tool further comprises a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing. The percussion tool has a ratio of impact energy to mass that is greater than or equal to 2.5 Joules/kilogram.

A percussion tool comprises a housing, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the electric motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing, a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the electric motor when coupled to the housing, and an electronic controller including an electronic processor and a memory. The electronic controller is coupled to the electric motor and configured to activate the motor and determine whether the percussion tool is in a loaded condition. In response to determining that the percussion tool is in the loaded condition, the electronic controller is configured to operate the motor in accordance with a predetermined profile and in response to determining that the percussion tool is in a no load condition, the electronic controller is configured to operate the motor at a no-load speed.

The portable power chiseling tool has a tool holder, an electric motor, a striking mechanism and an idle strike catcher. The tool holder can receive a tool and retain it movably on a working axis. The striking mechanism includes an exciter piston, a striker, an anvil and a guide for the anvil. The exciter piston is coupled to the electric motor. The guide guides the anvil on the working axis. The idle strike catcher for the anvil has a conical inner surface facing the anvil. The anvil has an associated end face facing in the striking direction. The end face rests against the conical inner surface when the anvil is in its forwardmost position in the striking direction. The end face of the anvil has a first segment and a second segment in the circumferential direction. The second segment is offset in the striking direction relative to the first segment.

An orthopedic impacting tool comprises a motor, an energy storage chamber, a striker, and an anvil. The motor stores energy in the energy storage chamber and then releases it, causing the striker to apply a controlled force on an adapter to create a precise impact for use in a surgical setting. The tool may further comprise a combination anvil and adapter. The tool further allows forward or backward impacting for expanding the size or volume of the opening or for facilitating removal of a broach, implant, or other surgical implement from the opening. An energy adjustment control of the tool allows a surgeon to increase or decrease the impact energy. A light source and hand grips improve ease of operation of the tool.

A handheld power tool 1 has a tool socket 2 to hold a tool along a working axis 11. A motor-driven, pneumatic striking mechanism 6 has an exciter 17 which is driven by a motor 5, a striker 14 that is coupled to the exciter 17 via a pneumatic chamber 19, and an intermediate striker 22 arranged on the working axis 11 in the striking direction 12 behind the striker 14. A ventilation opening 30 connects a cavity 29 situated between the striker 14 and the intermediate striker 22 to the environment. A valve 38 that closes the ventilation opening 30 is opened when actuated by the intermediate striker 22 when the intermediate striker 22 is moved into its working position counter to the striking direction 12.

A method for reducing vibrations in a percussion tool includes activating, using an electronic controller of the percussion tool, the motor of the percussion tool, determining, using the electronic controller, that the percussion tool is in a loaded condition, and operating, using the electronic controller, the motor in accordance with a predetermined profile in response to determining that the percussion tool is in the loaded condition. The method also includes determining, using the electronic controller, that the percussion tool is in a no-load condition and operating, using the electronic controller, the motor with reduced speed in response to determining that the percussion tool is in the no-load condition.

A percussion mechanism contains a guide tube, an exciter piston, a hammer, a pneumatic chamber for coupling the hammer to the motion of the exciter piston, a striker, and a seat for the striker. The hammer has a striking point, defined by a striking surface of the striker when the striker lies against the seat. A check valve has an outlet opening and a closing mechanism for closing the check valve against an air flow from the interior of the guide tube. The outlet opening is arranged in such a way that the outlet opening is closed by the hammer during striking operation and otherwise is open.
