Handheld power tool having a reduction gear unit

摘要

In a handheld power tool having a reduction gear unit, drivable by a motor, for driving a drive shaft, the reduction gear unit being situated in a gear housing and being shiftable via a gearshift at least between a first gear having a comparatively high torque and a second gear having a comparatively low torque, the reduction gear unit is assigned a mechanical overload protection device which is designed to limit the reduction gear unit during operation of the handheld power tool, if a torque, transferred from the drive shaft to the reduction gear unit, exceeds a machine-specific limiting value.

1. A handheld power tool, comprising:
a gear housing; a motor; a drive shaft; and a reduction gear unit, drivable by the motor for driving the drive shaft, the reduction gear unit being situated in the gear housing and being shiftable via a gearshift at least between a first gear having a comparatively high torque and a second gear having a comparatively low torque, wherein the reduction gear unit is assigned a mechanical overload protection device which is designed to limit the reduction gear unit during operation of the handheld power tool, if a torque transferred from the drive shaft to the reduction gear unit exceeds a machine-specific limiting value, wherein the reduction gear unit is assigned a torque clutch which is designed to prevent the drive shaft from being driven by the reduction gear unit during operation of the handheld power tool, if a torque, transferred from the drive shaft to the reduction gear unit, exceeds a threshold value which is settable by a user of the handheld power tool, the machine-specific limiting value being greater than a maximum threshold value settable by the user of the handheld power tool, wherein the reduction gear unit is designed in the form of a planetary gear set having at least three planetary stages, the overload protection device being assigned to one of the planetary stages which is not directly connected to either the gearshift or to the torque clutch.
