  • Patent number: 11638977
    Abstract: An arrangement for cooling a spindle bearing or bearings of an abrading apparatus with rotating abrading members is disclosed. This is premised on arranging in a housing of the abrading apparatus conduits which extend from a spindle bearing chamber wall of the housing to an inner suction chamber wall of the housing. Via such conduits, hot air may be expelled from a spindle bearing chamber of the housing as an overpressure in front of a protruding balancer element of a rotating shaft balancer is discharged from the spindle bearing chamber via a conduit into a suction chamber. Cool air may be conveyed from a suction chamber into the spindle bearing chamber as an underpressure behind the protruding balancer element draws in air from the suction chamber via the conduit to the spindle bearing chamber.

  • Patent number: 11489477
    Abstract: A power tool with a direct current, DC, power source comprising a controller for controlling a driver circuit driving a brushless motor in a power tool, the driver circuit being coupled to a direct current, DC, power source and including a first switching element pair coupled to a first phase winding of the brushless motor and a second switching element pair coupled to a second phase winding of the brushless motor; and the controller being arranged to alternately switch a first switching element of the first switching element pair and a second switching element of the second switching element pair, wherein the first switching element and the second switching elements are coupled to a respective terminal of the DC power source. A power tool comprising such a controller, and a method of controlling a driver circuit driving a brushless motor in a power tool.

  • Publication number: 20220118578
    Abstract: The disclosed solution comprises a device for changing abrading products (30), the device (1) comprising a detacher (2) comprising a table (10), a blade (14) adapted to penetrate into between an abrading product (30) and the gripping means (34) of the abrading tool (4), and means (16, 18, 19) to co-planarly adjust the mutual distance (d) between the table (10) and the blade (14) to correspond to the thickness (t) of the abrading product (30) in the absence of the abrading product (30).
