  • Patent number: 8500389
    Abstract: A gas driven motor includes a housing, a gas driven rotating member including a rotor and a rotor shaft carrying the rotor and journalled in a first bearing and a second bearing supported in the housing, and a speed governor for controlling a pressure gas inlet flow in response to the rotation speed of the rotating member. The first bearing includes a set of rolling elements, an outer race arranged in the housing and an inner race arranged on a shaft portion of the rotating member, the set of rolling elements being in contact with the races on which the rolling elements roll. The motor further includes a coupling device arranged to couple the speed governor to the rolling elements of the first bearing, thereby transferring the rotary motion from the rolling elements to the speed governor.

  • Patent number: 8485273
    Abstract: An electric assembly device for tightening of fastener includes a housing and a rotation. motor which is drivingly connected to an output shaft. The output shaft has a forward portion extending out of the housing, and is adapted to carry a coupling device for releasable coupling with a fastener during tightening, which is to be performed along a first rotation axis. The device is adapted to determine an angular displacement of the housing with respect to the first rotation axis during tightening of the fastener, and to control the rotation speed of the motor during tightening based on the determined angular displacement of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8371395
    Abstract: A power tool having a housing divided into two parts which are interconnected by a thread joint. Internal threads are provided on the housing parts. A tubular connection element has two external axially spaced thread sections which are provided for engagement with the internal threads on the housing parts. The tubular connection element has a thin walled waist section located between the external thread sections to provide a certain elastic deformation as a tightening torque is applied on the thread joint to thereby increase the clamping length of the thread joint. A resilient ring is carried on the waist section and is arranged to be elastically deformed by squeezing between the housing parts and the connection element at tightening of the thread joint, thereby providing a rotation locking friction force on the thread joint.

  • Patent number: 8333253
    Abstract: An outlet flow deflector unit for a pneumatic power tool having a housing with an outlet opening, comprises a cup-shaped rotatable deflector element communicating with the outlet opening and having at least one axially directed opening and one radially directed opening located within a certain angular interval of the deflector element circumference, and a stationary cup-shaped sector element located inside the deflector element and having radial opening locating in a certain angular sector substantially larger than the angular interval of the deflector element opening, and an axially directed outlet port, wherein the deflector element is rotatable to obtain alignment either between the radial openings for a radially directed outlet flow, or between the axial opening and the outlet port for accomplishing an axially directed outlet flow.
