  • Patent number: 11691260
    Abstract: A power tool is provided including a gear case having a spindle, a motor case connected to a rear end of the gear case along a longitudinal axis; a handle portion extending from a rear end of the motor case along the longitudinal axis; a motor housed inside the motor case; a fan in rotational connection with the motor; at least one air intake arranged at least one of the motor case or the handle portion near the rear end of the motor case; and a power module including power switches for driving the motor and a heat sink. The power module is housed in at least one of the motor case or the handle portion near the rear end of the motor case such that rotation of the fan causes air flow to enter through the air intake and flow near the heat sink and through the motor.

  • Publication number: 20140338940
    Abstract: A power tool includes a tool housing, an output spindle, a motor received in the tool housing, a transmission coupled to the motor and configured to transmit torque from the motor to the output spindle, a clutch assembly, and a hammer assembly. The clutch assembly includes a clutch mechanism configured to interrupt torque transmission from the transmission to the output spindle when an output torque exceeds a threshold, and a clutch housing composed of a non-metallic material and supporting at least a portion of the clutch mechanism. The hammer assembly includes a hammer mechanism configured to apply axial impacts to the output spindle when the hammer mechanism is engaged, and a hammer housing composed of a heat conductive material and supporting at least a portion of the hammer mechanism.
