  • Publication number: 20260115879
    Abstract: A striking mechanism (15) having an idle-strike damping element and a rebound-strike damping element (6, 7), which interact with a tool holder (3), wherein the tool holder (3) is mounted via at least two plain bearings (13a, 13b) to a guide housing (5), and wherein the idle-strike damping element and the rebound-strike damping element (6, 7) are arranged at an axial distance relative to one another on the outer circumferential side of the tool holder (3). It is provided that the idle-strike damping element (6) and/or the rebound-strike damping element (7) is coupled to the tool holder (3) via a front-side or inner circumferential toothing (8) and the same damping element (6 or 7) is coupled to the guide housing (5) via a front-side or outer circumferential toothing (11). A power tool (2), in particular a drill or chisel hammer, having a striking mechanism (15).

  • Patent number: 12257683
    Abstract: An electric hand-held power tool, in particular a hammer drill and/or chipping hammer, having an electropneumatic impact mechanism which has a transmission housing, a guide tube arranged at least partially in the transmission housing, an exciter piston that is movable in an axial direction in the guide tube, a connecting rod coupled to the exciter piston, and an eccentric wheel which is coupled to the connecting rod on one side and is mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to the transmission housing via an end plate of the transmission housing on the other side, wherein the transmission housing is subdivided at least into a main shell and a cover shell separate from the main shell, such that the guide tube is braced against the main shell at least partially by the cover shell.

  • Patent number: 11103973
    Abstract: A clamping device for axially clamping a disk-shaped tool on a flange of a spindle of a machine tool, includes a clamping disk which rests against the tool in a friction-fitting manner in the clamped state, a screw which is screwed into a threaded receiving opening in an end face of the spindle, an operating element which is connected to the screw in a rotationally fixed manner, and a first securing element which interacts with a corresponding second securing element provided on a flange such that when the screw is at least partly introduced into the receiving opening, the clamping disk is rotationally secured to the flange in a form-fitting manner, where the clamping disk can be rotated relative to the screw and the operating element. The first securing element can be rotated relative to the screw and is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner relative to the clamping disk.
