    Abstract: An example robot includes: a motor disposed at a joint configured to control motion of a member of the robot; a transmission including an input member coupled to and configured to rotate with the motor, an intermediate member, and an output member, where the intermediate member is fixed such that as the input member rotates, the output member rotates therewith at a different speed; a pad frictionally coupled to a side surface of the output member of the transmission and coupled to the member of the robot; and a spring configured to apply an axial preload on the pad, wherein the axial preload defines a torque limit that, when exceeded by a torque load on the member of the robot, the output member of the transmission slips relative to the pad.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drill tool (1), such as a core drill tool (1), comprising a motor unit (2) and a gear unit (3). The motor unit (2) comprises an electric motor (4) and a motor drive shaft (5) that extends along a first longitudinal axis (6) from the electric motor (4) and protrudes out of a motor unit housing (7) via a motor exit aperture (8) in a housing end part (9) and comprises a drive shaft gear (10). The drive shaft gear (10) is adapted to propel a drill shaft (14) that extends along a second longitudinal axis (15) and comprises a tool holder (16) that is adapted to hold a tool. The housing end part (9) comprises a wall part (17) arranged transversally to the longitudinal axes (6, 15) and is adapted to close the gear unit cavity (11) and to separate the electric motor (4) from the gear unit cavity (11).
