    摘要: Kickback control methods for power tools. One power tool includes a movement sensor configured to measure an angular velocity of the housing of the power tool about the rotational axis. The power tool includes an electronic processor coupled to the switching network and the movement sensor and configured to implement kickback control of the power tool. To implement the kickback control, the electronic processor is configured to control the switching network to drive the brushless DC motor, receive measurements of the angular velocity of the housing of the power tool from the movement sensor, determine that a plurality of the measurements of the angular velocity of the housing of the power tool exceed a rotation speed threshold, and control the switching network to cease driving of the brushless DC motor in response to determining that the plurality of the measurements of the angular velocity exceed the rotation speed threshold.

    摘要: A gas spring-powered fastener driver includes a cylinder, a moveable piston, a driver blade attached to the piston, the driver blade movable with the piston, a lifter including a rotary component operably coupled to the driver blade to move the driver blade from a driven position to a ready position, and a multi-stage planetary transmission. The transmission includes an output shaft operatively coupled to the lifter to provide torque thereto, a first bearing supporting a first portion of the output shaft for rotation, a second bearing supporting a second portion of the output shaft for rotation. The fastener driver also includes a housing having a cylinder support portion in which the cylinder is received and a transmission housing portion in which the first and second bearings are received to rotatably support the output shaft. The cylinder support portion and the transmission housing portion are integrally formed as a single piece.

    摘要: A power tool including a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a battery pack interface configured to receive a battery pack, a switching module for selectively providing power from the battery pack to the motor, and a solid-state protection circuit. The solid-state protection circuit includes a switch configured to control current provided to the motor, and a current measurement device configured to determine a level of current supplied to the switch, and output a first signal related to the level of current supplied to the switch. The solid-state protection circuit also includes a gate driver electrically connected to the switch. The gate driver is configured to receive a control signal to disable the switch in response to the first signal indicating that the level of current supplied to the switch exceeding a current threshold.
