An electric power tool includes a motor, a driving side member, and a driven side member. The driving side member and the driven side member have mutually opposed surfaces. A plurality of cam teeth are respectively disposed on concentric circles on the opposed surfaces. The plurality of cam teeth have meshing surfaces inclined at predetermined lead angles. A torque limiter is formed to disengage the engagement of the meshing surfaces of the cam teeth by moving the one member in a separation direction from the other member when load of the driven side member increases. The respective cam teeth are formed such that the lead angles of the meshing surfaces are different between a forward rotation side and a reverse rotation side. A transmission torque transmitted from the driving side member to the driven side member is equal between the forward rotation and the reverse rotation.

A system includes first and second power tools that each have a percussion mechanism, a motor, and a transmission. The transmission includes a striking mechanism and is configured to transfer a driving motion of the motor to an insert tool held in a tool holder. The transmission has a guide tube that is identical in some regions along a working axis and accommodates a striker. The guide tube is rotatably coupled to the motor by a first transmission unit. The striker is driven to linearly oscillate by a piston of a second transmission unit. A ratio between a diameter of the tool holder and a diameter of the guide tube is 1.8 times greater in the first power tool than in the second power tool. A striking energy of the second power tool is mechanically reduced compared to a striking energy of the first power tool.

A rotary power tool comprises a drive mechanism including an electric motor and a transmission, a housing enclosing at least a portion of the drive mechanism, a spindle rotatable in response to receiving torque from the drive mechanism, a first ratchet coupled for co-rotation with the spindle, a second ratchet rotationally fixed to the housing, a sleeve bushing on an interior of the housing, and a bearing arranged between the spindle and the sleeve bushing and rotatably supporting the spindle. The bearing has an outer race. The spindle is movable relative to the housing in response to contact with a workpiece, causing the first and second ratchets to engage and the spindle to reciprocate while rotating. The outer race of the bearing moves along the sleeve bushing during reciprocation of the spindle when the first ratchet and second ratchet are engaged.

In a hand-held power tool including a gear for driving an output shaft, which is situated in an assigned gear housing, and including a mode-setting unit for setting the operating mode for an impact drilling mode, a drilling mode, or a screwing mode, the mode-setting unit including a rotatable actuating element and a rotatable setting element coupled to the rotatable actuating element. The setting element is coupled, at least in one operating mode, to a transmission element which is mounted on the gear housing and is axially displaceable on the gear housing in a screwing position assigned to the screwing mode and is axially fixed on the gear housing in impact drilling and drilling positions assigned to the impact drilling and drilling modes. The actuating element and the setting element are formed as one piece from plastic.

A power tool and a method of operating a power tool including a motor, a clutch collar including a plurality of settings, a wireless transceiver operable to form a wireless connection with a remote device, and a processor coupled to the clutch collar and the wireless transceiver. The processor receives, via the wireless transceiver, a mapping including a plurality of torque levels corresponding to the plurality of settings. The processor detects that the clutch collar is set to a setting of the plurality of settings. The processor is further determines the torque level for the setting from the mapping and detects, during the operation of the power tool, that a torque of the power tool exceeds the torque level. The processor is also configured to generate an indication that the torque exceeds the torque level. The indication may include flashing a light, ratcheting the motor, and stopping the motor.

A torque wrench for multiple bolts or nuts comprises multiple drive spindles that are arranged annularly around a center and are equipped or able to be equipped at the end with respective torque-applying tools, and a ratchet drive, associated with each drive spindle and driven by means of a hydraulic piston drive, for driving the drive spindles.
