  • Publication number: 20020151262
    Abstract: A power tool (10), in particular an angle grinder, having a housing (12) that receives an electric motor (21) and a gear (26), the motor (21) having a rotor (210) which is guided in rotor bearings (2100) and on one hand carries a collector (2102), which collector can be put into contact with a voltage source via carbon brushes (23) supported in brush plates, is made sturdier and easier to install in that the housing (12) comprises two longitudinally split housing shells (120, 121), and that the brush plates are part of a bearing bridge (24) that carries both the rotor bearing (2100) and the carbon brushes (23), and the bearing bridge (24), in the guide region of the carbon brushes (23), comprises plastic.

  • Patent number: 5679066
    Abstract: An eccentric disk grinder has a grinding disk, an eccentric shaft fixedly connected with the grinding disk, a motor, a shaft having an axis arranged so that the motor eccentrically, circulatingly and rotatably moves around the axis of the shaft, with the eccentric shaft being rotatable relative to the shaft, a braking device provided for delaying movement of the grinding disk and having a braking element which follows the movement of the grinding disk and is delayable relative to the grinding disk.

  • Patent number: 5425666
    Abstract: An eccentric disk grinder has a housing, a motor accommodated in the housing and having a shaft provided with an eccentric member, a first bearing supporting the shaft, a grinding disk eccentrically, circulatingly and rotatingly driven by the motor through the shaft, and a second bearing in which the grinding disk is rotatable relative to the shaft about an axis of the eccentric member. The second bearing includes at least one first bearing which takes up substantially radial forces and supports at least one of the shaft and the eccentric member at its end facing the grinding disk. The bearings also have at least another second bearing which takes up substantially axial forces and supports at least one of the shaft and the eccentric member at its side facing away from the grinding disk.
