  • Patent number: 8732963
    Abstract: An electric hand power tool with oscillating working movement, particularly translation movement, is made particularly compact and with low volume by an elastomeric module. The elastomeric module expands and/or contracts when electric voltage is applied, and is used as a drive for the hand power tool. The elastomeric module is coupled mechanically to a tool and is coupled electrically to a voltage source.
