  • Publication number: 20240157522
    Abstract: An impact wrench motor unit includes a motor and an operating switch. A tool-holder shaft rotates about a rotation axis. A transmission unit percussion mechanism connects the motor unit and the tool-holder shaft. A handlebar structure has two handles for manually gripping the wrench. An electronic control system, containing a control board, connected to electric batteries and the operating switch. The electric motor is simultaneously powered by rechargeable batteries connected in parallel. The control system includes a device for generating three-phase current to the motor, utilizing a first battery generating a first phase, a second battery generating a second phase, and both the first and second batteries for generating a third phase. A ratio of contributions of the first and second batteries to the third phase generation depends on the residual charge state of the batteries. The least charged battery contributes less than the most charged battery.
