  • Publication number: 20220226979
    Abstract: A hydraulic tool includes a tool head and a moveable piston coupled to the tool head. The hydraulic tool head includes a plurality of jaws, which are operable to open and close for performing work on a workpiece. The hydraulic tool also includes a motor operable to drive the moveable piston to close the plurality of jaws to a closed position at which the work on the workpiece is completed. The hydraulic tool further includes a position sensor configured to detect when the plurality of jaws are at the closed position and responsively generate a sensor signal indicating that the plurality of jaws are at the closed position. Additionally, the hydraulic tool includes a controller configured to receive the sensor signal from the position sensor. The controller is configured to operate the motor based on the sensor signal that the controller receives from the position sensor.

  • Patent number: 8061251
    Abstract: A power tool includes a base, a table supported by the base for pivoting movement about an axis, a coarse adjustment assembly between the base and the table, and a fine adjustment assembly between the base and the table. The fine adjustment assembly includes a rotating member supported by one of the base and the table, and an engagement surface provided by the other of the base and the table. The rotating member is selectively engageable with and rotatable along the engagement surface to finely adjust the angular position of the table relative to the base. The angular position of the table relative to the base is coarsely adjustable using the coarse adjustment assembly when the rotating member is disengaged from the engagement surface. The fine adjustment assembly disengages the coarse adjustment assembly and maintains the coarse adjustment assembly disengaged when the rotating member is engaged with the engagement surface.

  • Patent number: 7168504
    Abstract: A rotary hammer and a power tool. The rotary hammer is operable in an idle mode and a hammer mode and comprises a housing and a barrel positioned in the housing and having a forward portion. A ram is positioned within the barrel and is movable relative to the barrel between hammering positions and an idle position. In some aspects, a ram catcher assembly is positioned along the axis adjacent the forward portion of the barrel to releasably hold the ram in the idle position. The ram catcher assembly includes a friction member frictionally engageable with the ram and a damping member at least partially surrounding the friction member. As the ram moves to the idle position with a force, the damping member absorbs at least a portion of the force and the member applies friction to the ram.

  • Patent number: 5954140
    Abstract: A rotary hammer operable in an idle mode and a hammer mode. The rotary hammer includes a housing, a barrel positioned in the housing and including a side wall having a port, a ram positioned within the barrel and axially movable relative to the barrel, and a seal supported on the mid-portion of the ram and forming a seal between the side wall and the ram. The seal has a range of motion relative to the barrel, and the port is located in the side wall such that the port is beyond the range of motion of the seal. The hammer further includes a tool supported by the hammer, and engagement of the tool with a workpiece moves the barrel relative to the housing and changes the hammer from the idle mode to the hammer mode. The hammer further includes a biasing member, such as a spring, biasing the hammer toward the idle mode.
