A hand-held power tool has a tool holder for holding a tool along a working axis. A hammer mechanism has a striker that is moved periodically at an impact rate along the working axis between a turning point in the proximity of the tool and a turning point remote from the tool. A drive control of the hammer mechanism sets the impact rate to a set point value. A vibration absorber has an oscillator that moves along the working axis about a resting position and one or multiple springs that drive the oscillator back into the resting position. A first sensor is used to determine a phase of the motion of the striker. A sensor is used to determine a first phase of a compression point of the hammer mechanism. Another sensor is used to determine a second phase of a turning point in the proximity of the tool, of the hammer mechanism. A damping controller adapts the set point value in such a way that a phase difference between the first phase and the second phase is less than a threshold value.

The hand-held power tool has a tool holder (2) for holding a tool (4) along a working axis (12). A hammer mechanism (6) has a striker (15) that is moved periodically along the working axis at an impact rate. A drive control (18) of the hammer mechanism (6) sets the impact rate to a set point value. A vibration absorber (19) has an oscillator (21) that moves along the working axis (12) about a resting position and one or multiple springs (20) that drive the oscillator (21) back into the resting position. A calibration phase comprises the following steps: detection of an acceleration using the acceleration sensor (24); determination of a minimum of the acceleration by varying the impact rate in a range of between 90% and 110% of the set point value; and adjusting the set point to the impact rate associated with the ascertained minimum.

A control method for tightening a threaded connection executes, in response to actuation of a pushbutton key, a sequence with consecutive phases. In a first phase, an impact mechanism of an impact wrench exerts a predefined number of rotary impacts on the threaded connection. During the first phase, a profile of a rotational angle over time is estimated. A pattern is adapted to the profile and on the basis of the pattern a setpoint torque is determined for a second phase and a final rotational angle or a final number of impacts is determined for a third phase. During the second phase, rotary impacts are exerted until an estimated torque reaches the setpoint torque. During the third phase, rotary impacts are exerted on the threaded connection until a number of rotary impacts corresponds to the final number or a rotational angle corresponds to the final rotational angle.

A percussion tool, for performing a chiseling operation on a workpiece with a chisel, comprises a housing including a front side, and rear side, and opposite lateral sides extending between the front and rear sides, a first handle coupled to a first of the lateral sides of the housing, a second handle coupled to a second of the lateral sides of the housing, the first and second handles oriented coaxially along a handle axis, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation relative to the housing along a striker axis, and a light source that produces light to illuminate the workpiece. The chisel is configured to deliver repeated axial impacts to the workpiece in response to receiving repeated axial impacts from the striker.

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.

A percussion tool comprises a housing, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing along a first axis, and a pair of handles coupled to the housing. The handles define a second axis. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the motor when coupled to the housing. The first and second axes are contained within first and second planes, respectively, that are parallel to each other.

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.
