  • Patent number: 10543591
    Abstract: A machine tool is disclosed. A magneto-pneumatic striking mechanism has a primary actuator arranged around an axis of movement and includes a first magnetic coil and a second magnetic coil. The striking mechanism has, on the axis of movement within the magnetic coils, a striker and a die. Furthermore, the striking mechanism has an air spring acting on the striker in a direction of impact. The air spring may be entirely or partially within the first magnetic coil. The air spring has a ventilation opening that is open to the environment if the striker is less than 10% of its stroke away from the die, and otherwise the ventilation opening is closed. An exchange of air with the environment is therefore only possible when the striker is near the die or is near the impact position.

  • Patent number: 8833484
    Abstract: A control method for a power tool and a power tool is disclosed. The control method has an operating mode and a safety mode. In the operating mode, a motor drives a tool receptacle in a rotating manner. In the operating mode, the motor has a power consumption in the amount of at least an operating value. The safety mode is triggered if a sensor device detects a rotational blockade of the tool receptacle. In the safety mode, a clutch that is switchable by electrical signals located in the drive train between the motor and tool receptacle is periodically opened and closed and a power consumption of the motor is reduced as compared to the operating value.
