A motor for a power tool adapted to be powered by either an AC power source or a DC power source. The motor 12 includes a permanent magnet field 30 having an armature 34 disposed within the field. The armature 34 includes a shaft 36 having a DC commutator 38 disposed at one end of the shaft. The DC commutator is coupled to a first armature winding. An AC commutator 42 is disposed coaxially over a portion of the DC commutator 38 and is coupled to a second armature winding 44. A first pair of brushes 46 are disposed on the DC commutator 38 for coupling power from a DC power source to the first armature winding 40. A second pair of brushes 48 couple rectified AC power to the second armature winding 44. A power module including an AC/DC selector switch 26 enables a user to select whether AC or DC power is to be used to power the tool. <IMAGE> |
