  • POWER TOOL INCLUDING A TRIGGER WITH A NON-CONTACT SENSOR
    Publication number: 20250150078
    Abstract: A power tool including a housing, a trigger disposed on an outside of the housing, the trigger including a magnet, a motor within the housing, the motor configured to produce a rotational output to a drive mechanism, a Hall effect sensor configured to sense a position of the trigger based on a proximity of the magnet to the Hall effect sensor, and an electronic controller connected to the Hall effect sensor. The electronic controller is configured to determine the position of the trigger based on a signal from the Hall effect sensor and control the drive mechanism based on the position of the trigger.

  • Flow control system and control valve having closure assistance
    Patent number: 10697558
    Abstract: A control valve includes a piston-housing having a hollow portion. The hollow portion has a first end, an open end, first and second internal chambers, and a fluid port configured to allow fluid to exit the second chamber. The first chamber is nearer the first end, and the second chamber is nearer the open end. A piston is located within the housing and is adapted for reciprocal motion. The piston includes a first and second seal-engaging portions. The first seal-engaging portion has a diameter that is less than the diameter of the second seal-engaging portion.

  • Relief valve with position indication
    Patent number: 9851018
    Abstract: A surge relief valve includes a piston housing and a piston located within the housing for reciprocal motion. The surge relief valve also includes a position sensor to resolve the axial position of the piston relative to the piston housing. The position sensor includes a sensor body coupled to the piston housing and a movable element configured to move linearly relative to the sensor body and configured to move axially with the piston. At a least portion of the sensor body is located within the piston housing.
