An impact tool includes a housing having a handle portion defining a first axis, a motor supported by the housing and defining a motor axis, and a rotary impact mechanism arranged on a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The rotary impact mechanism is configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The rotary impact mechanism includes a chamber containing a hydraulic fluid, an anvil positioned at least partially within the chamber, and a hammer for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil. The hydraulic fluid is configured to attenuate a noise of the rotary impact mechanism that is created by the hammer impacting the anvil. The impact tool further includes a gear train that receives torque from the motor and includes a rotational input that transfers torque to the rotary impact mechanism.

The invention concerns a rock breaking device comprising a striking cell having at least one actuation chamber, a striking piston, and a hydraulic circuit comprising a hydraulic supply source having a High Pressure circuit and a Low Pressure circuit, and an actuator configured to connect the High Pressure circuit or the Low Pressure circuit to the actuation chamber so as to move the piston in translation in the striking cell in a normal movement area of which the limits are variable depending on the pressure difference between the High Pressure circuit and the Low Pressure circuit, the striking cell comprising depressurizing means configured to control the establishment of hydraulic communication between the High Pressure circuit and the Low Pressure circuit when the striking piston exits a predefined movement area.

A power tool including an impact tool, a body and an actuator. The actuator is operable to move the body along an operational axis from an impact position, at which the body is operable to transfer impact energy to a head end of the impact tool, to a retracted position spaced apart from the impact position along the operational axis.

The invention relates to a hydraulic percussion device intended to be fitted on a base vehicle, the device comprising: a housing comprising a closing plate; a power cell mounted in the housing; and a damper connecting the power cell and the closing plate, the damper comprising a body rigidly connected to the power cell opposite the closing plate; a chamber provided inside the body; and a closing piston which is movable inside the chamber and capable of abutting against the closing plate in order to seal the chamber, the chamber being intended to contain a compressible fluid for damping the movements of the power cell in relation to the housing.

A hydraulic breaker provided with an automatic lubricant supply structure is proposed. The automatic lubricant supply structure is configured to automatically supply a lubricant without a separate hose, using a working fluid, and is disposed in the body of the hydraulic breaker, and can be used without a separate external part.

A hydraulic hammering device includes a piston front chamber and a piston rear chamber defined between an outer circumferential surface of the piston and an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and disposed separately from each other at front and rear, respectively, in an axial direction. A switching-valve mechanism drives the piston by switching at least one of the piston front chamber and the piston rear chamber into communication with at least one of a high pressure circuit and a low pressure circuit. An acceleration piston is disposed behind the piston and is configured to come into contact with the piston during a retreat stroke thereof to urge the piston forward, in which a timing where the acceleration piston itself starts to come in contact with the piston is set to be earlier than a timing where the piston is braked by the switching-valve mechanism.

A hydraulic, pneumatic, gasoline, diesel, or electric tool may include a spindle that is adapted for rotational movement. A swing arm may be coupled to the spindle such that rotational motion of the spindle is transferred to the swing arm. The swing arm makes contact with a piston such that the rotational motion causes the piston to move along a linear path. The piston may interact with an energy storage medium when the swing arm moves the piston in the first direction, causing energy to be stored in the energy storage medium. As the swing arm continues to rotate, the swing arm may lose contact with the piston, thus allowing the energy storage medium to urge the piston in a second direction opposite the first direction to strike an anvil. The swing arm may be a multiple roller swing arm. The energy storage medium may be a compound spring assembly.
