  • Patent number: 10427282
    Abstract: In a rotary impact tool according to an aspect of the present disclosure, an impact mechanism rotates an output shaft by a rotational force of a motor and, when a torque equal to or greater than a given value is externally applied to the output shaft in a direction opposite a rotational direction of the output shaft, the impact mechanism intermittently applies an impact force as a momentary torque to the output shaft in the rotational direction of the output shaft. A protection unit stops the motor or reduces a rotational speed of the motor on condition that an abnormal impact detection unit detects the abnormal impact. A control unit controls activation of the protection unit differently when the rotational direction of the motor is set to a reverse rotational direction in comparison with when the rotational direction of the motor is set to a forward rotational direction.

  • Publication number: 20150231770
    Abstract: There is provided a rotary impact tool that comprises: an impact mechanism, in which, when an external torque of a specified value or greater is applied to an anvil, a hammer impacts the anvil in a rotational direction; an impact detection unit configured to detect the impact; a fluctuation width detection unit configured to detect a fluctuation width of a physical quantity that fluctuates due to the impact; and a control unit configured to control driving of the motor according to the fluctuation width of the physical quantity when the impact is detected after a starting of the motor.
