Abstract: A mains-operable power tool having a mains connection, a rectifier connected downstream of the mains connection, and an electric motor with an upstream motor stage, wherein the rectifier and the motor stage are connected via an intermediate circuit having a smoothing capacitor connected in parallel with the rectifier and a switching branch connected in parallel with the rectifier, wherein the switching branch has an additional capacitor which can be discharged if necessary via a discharge circuit included in the intermediate circuit by a switching element included in the switching branch, wherein the intermediate circuit has a precharge circuit which is or can be used to set an offset voltage of the additional capacitor.

Abstract: An electric drive unit for an electric handheld power tool, having an electric motor with a stator winding and a rotor winding, an actuating circuit for actuating the electric motor and a connection unit for coupling an energy source for driving the electric motor, wherein the stator winding is connected via a first node to a stator-side first half-bridge including a first semiconductor component and a second semiconductor component and is connected via a second node to the rotor winding, wherein the rotor winding is connected to a third node which is connected via a conductive component to the connection unit, and wherein the actuating circuit includes a third semiconductor component which is connected via the second node to the rotor winding and the stator winding and which is connected via a fourth node directly to the connection unit.

Abstract: Control method for braking an electric motor (7) of an electric handheld power tool (1), the electric motor (7) including a stator winding (12) and a rotor winding (14), wherein the method includes a) switching (S1) the electric motor (7) from motor operation to braking operation, b) reversing the polarity (S2) of an input voltage applied to the rotor winding (14) compared to motor operation, c) limiting (S3) a rotor current (IR(t)) of the rotor winding (14) as a function of a predetermined threshold value (IL), and d) regulating (S4) a stator current (IS(t)) of the stator winding (12) as a function of a current rotation speed (n(t)) of the electric motor (7).

Abstract: The hand-held power tool (1) includes a housing (8), which has a first housing element (9) and a second housing element (10), wherein the first housing element (9) and the second housing element (10) are decoupled from one another and are movable relative to one another. The hand-held power tool (1) furthermore includes a tool holder (2) and a motor (4) for rotational and/or percussive driving of the tool holder (2). Furthermore, the hand-held power tool (1) has a magnetic field sensor (16) for detecting a spacing (L) between the first housing element (9) and the second housing element (10). Moreover, the hand-held power tool (1) includes a control device (18) for setting a motor speed of the motor (4) in accordance with the detected spacing (L).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vertical sliding element including an element frame and a sash which can be moved in the vertical direction relative to the element frame. In the closed position of the sash, one fitting chamber each is formed in the intermediate spaces which are laterally limited by mutually facing side faces of the sash and the element frame. Each fitting chamber is provided with a guide rail and guide elements guided in the guide rail. The sash is connected to the guide elements via a scissors' arrangement having a plurality of parking scissors. The scissors arrangement is designed for parallel parking of the sash in a partially open position, in which the sash is positioned in front of an opening in the element frame, seen in the horizontal direction, and wherein the guide elements are designed to move the sash parked in parallel in the vertical direction by moving the guide elements in the guide rails.
