  • Patent number: 9108306
    Abstract: Disclosed is a machine tool having a spindle driven by a drive device, the spindle having a receiving device on its free end for a tool or a tool holder, an input part being provided in the drive train of the drive device, the input part transferring a torque having a defined play in the direction of rotation via drivers to an output part which is joined in a rotationally fixed manner to the spindle, while a torque acting from the spindle in the direction of the drive device and exceeding a torque on the input side is supported on the housing of the machine tool via clamping surfaces on the periphery of the output part, via clamping elements and via a locking ring having a hollow cylindrical surface. The output part is a driving profile having two or more axially parallel planes, of which a first part acts as clamping surfaces and a second part acts as driving surfaces which cooperate with the drivers of the input part.

  • Publication number: 20150114675
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool is provided which includes a clutch housing of a torque clutch, and a planetary gear, situated in a gear housing, for transmitting a torque which is generated by a drive motor to a drive shaft. The clutch housing cooperates with the planetary gear via a pressure plate. The pressure plate is displaced in the axial direction in order to disengage the torque clutch. The axial relative motion of the pressure plate causes an axial relative motion between a switching element and an associated optical sensor, via which the drive motor may be switched off.

  • Patent number: 8919217
    Abstract: A handheld power tool is provided with a shiftable gear that has at least two gear steps which are meant to be selected via a user control element disposed adjustably on the housing, in which the user control element actuates a transmission member that acts upon an adjustable gear component, and the user control element is intended to be adjusted between at least two detent positions that correspond to the gear steps of the gear. The transmission member is intended to be adjusted into the detent positions, which can be transmitted to the user control element via the coupling between the user control element and the transmission member.
