A motor-driven orthopedic impacting tool is provided for orthopedic impacting in the hips, knees, shoulders and the like. The tool is capable of holding a broach, chisel, or other end effector, which when gently tapped in a cavity with controlled percussive impacts, can expand the size or volume of an opening of the cavity or facilitate removal of the broach, implant, or other surgical implement from the opening. A stored-energy drive mechanism stores potential energy and then releases it to launch a launched mass or striker to communicate a striking force to an adapter in either a forward or reverse direction. The tool may further include a combination anvil and adapter and an energy adjustment mechanism to adjust the striking force the launched mass delivers to the adapter in accordance with a patient profile.

A work tool includes a driving motor, a rotary shaft member configured to be rotationally driven by the driving motor, a swinging member configured to be caused to swing by rotation of the rotary shaft member, a tool accessory driving mechanism configured to drive a tool accessory by swinging of the swinging member, a body housing the driving motor, the rotary shaft member, the swinging member and the tool accessory driving mechanism, and a vibration reducing mechanism configured to reduce vibration caused in the body. The vibration reducing mechanism includes a dynamic vibration reducer having an elastic member and a weight, and a connecting member connecting the weight and the swinging member. The vibration reducing mechanism is configured to reciprocate the weight via the connecting member by the swinging of the swinging member.

An impact mechanism for an impact tool having a housing with a housing longitudinal axis, wherein the impact mechanism includes an impact mechanism longitudinal axis that is offset and substantially perpendicular to the housing longitudinal axis. The impact mechanism includes a gear carrier adapted to be driven by a motor of the impact tool to rotate about the impact mechanism longitudinal axis, a hammer slidably coupled to the gear carrier and rotatable about the impact mechanism longitudinal axis, the hammer includes a radial surface with a hammer lug extending therefrom, and an intermediate bit adapted to receive impact force from the hammer lug and transfer impact force to a tool bit.

An impact tool includes a housing that includes a motor housing portion, a front housing portion coupled to the motor housing portion, and a D-shaped handle portion extending from the motor housing portion in a direction opposite the front housing portion. The impact tool includes an electric motor supported in the motor housing portion, a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece capable of developing at least 1,700 ft-lbs of fastening torque.

An impact tool includes a housing, an electric motor supported in the housing, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece capable of developing at least 1,700 ft-lbs of fastening torque. The drive assembly includes an anvil rotatable about an axis and having a head adjacent a distal end of the anvil. The head has a minimum cross-sectional width of at least 1 inch in a plane oriented transverse to the axis. The drive assembly also includes a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil, and a spring for biasing the hammer in an axial direction toward the anvil.

A rotary hammer includes a motor, a spindle coupled to the motor for receiving torque from the motor, a piston at least partially received within the spindle for reciprocation therein, a striker received within the spindle for reciprocation in response to reciprocation of the piston, and an anvil received within the spindle and positioned between the striker and the tool bit. The anvil is configured to impart axial impacts to the tool bit in response to reciprocation of the striker. The rotary hammer also includes a retainer received within the spindle for selectively securing the striker in an idle position in which it is inhibited from reciprocating within the spindle. The retainer includes a detent member configured to engage the striker to secure the striker in the idle position, and a tensing element configured to bias the detent member radially inward toward engagement with the striker.

An impact tool includes a housing with a first and second housing portions and a first handle extending from the first housing portion, a motor supported in the housing, a battery receptacle is located at a bottom end of the first handle, and a battery pack removably coupled to the battery receptacle to provide power to the motor. The impact tool also includes a trigger located on the first handle to selectively energize the motor, a gear assembly, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece such that the drive assembly is capable of developing at least 1,700 ft-lbs of fastening torque. A gear support is coupled to the first housing portion and the second housing portion and defines a gear case with the second housing portion to enclose the gear assembly and the drive assembly.

A pneumatic motor includes a stator having a stator inner wall including a dwell region and a rotor eccentrically disposed within the stator. The rotor is configured to rotate about the axis of rotation and includes a plurality of vanes disposed around the rotor. Each vane of the plurality of vanes is configured to slide within a respective slot formed in the outer surface of the rotor between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position as the rotor rotates about the axis of rotation to maintain contact with the stator inner wall. The stator inner wall has a radius relative to the axis of rotation that is substantially constant within the dwell region so that vanes of the plurality of vanes are in the fully extended position within the dwell region.
