An axial bearing for reducing wear is provided in an overload clutch for arrangement between a drive unit and a power take-off unit of a hand-held power tool in order to enable decoupling of the drive unit from the power take-off unit in the hand-held power tool when a limit torque is exceeded.

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 supported by the housing, and a bearing rotatably supporting the spindle. The spindle has an outer race. And, 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.

Electric hand-held power tool, in particular a hammer drill and/or rotary hammer, having a function setting tube, which can be actuated via a manual function selector switch to bring about various operating modes, a guide tube equipped with a tool fitting, and having a ball-type latching clutch for transmitting a rotary movement from the function setting tube to the guide tube, wherein the ball-type latching clutch has a radial aperture formed in the function setting tube, a main latching depression formed in the guide tube, a coupling ball mounted in the radial aperture and intended to engage in the main latching depression, and a spring-loaded cone ring against whose actuating force the coupling ball can deflect in the radial direction, wherein the guide tube has formed therein an auxiliary depression that is different from the main latching depression and whose opening angle is larger than an opening angle of the main latching depression.
