  • Publication number: 20220325775
    Abstract: A shaft vibration absorber for absorbing vibrations of a shaft includes an elastomer body that is reached through by a central longitudinal centre axis. In embodiments, the elastomer body includes holding geometries that protrude in the radial direction and extend in the longitudinal direction for pressing the shaft vibration absorber to the shaft. The holding geometries may be arranged in each case in two first angle windows that lie opposite one another with regard to the longitudinal centre axis with a width of in each case at most 90°. With embodiments, the shaft vibration absorber can configure a radial pressing force of the shaft along a first tuning axis that runs in the radial direction, and the radial pressing force may be greater than a pressing force in a spatial direction that differs therefrom and runs in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20220272773
    Abstract: A method and system for connecting a power tool with a mobile device. The mobile device receives a user request to connect to a power tool and transmits a short-range advertisement. The power tool receives the short-range advertisement and transmits a signal. The mobile device receives the signal from the power tool and determines a signal strength. The mobile device compares the signal strength to a predetermined signal strength value. When the signal strength value exceeds the predetermined signal strength value, the mobile device connects with the power tool.
