Abstract

A stripping tool includes tool jaws having first and second tool parts for stripping a cable. Each tool part has a cutting body which includes cutting parts displaceable in an axial direction relative to a tool part base orthogonally to the engagement direction. Guide surfaces of the cutting body and the tool part base are operatively connected and provide for displacement after overcoming a holding force. The guide surfaces extend at a same obtuse angle to the engagement direction. An application of force of the cutting body can be attained solely by a displacement of the tool jaws in the engagement direction, which application of force leads to a displacement of the guide surfaces of the cutting body, and thus of the cutting body, relative to the guide surfaces of the tool part base with a movement component corresponding to the angle in the axial direction.

Abstract

The described solution pertains to a motor-actuated tool and a method for operating same. A certain working process requires an increase of an applied force to a certain working force. A hydraulic medium located in a piston/cylinder of the tool applies the force and the working process no longer requires any higher force after the certain working force has been reached. The tool allows an increase of the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force. Reaching the certain working force results in a characteristic change of the pressure increase in the hydraulic medium. Upon reaching the characteristic change, the return valve is initially opened and a pressure drop in the hydraulic medium, which occurs as a result of opening the return valve, is used as a signal for deactivating the motor, wherein a control of the tool is designed accordingly.

Abstract

The described solution pertains to a method for operating a motor-actuated tool and to a motor-actuated tool, wherein a certain working process requires an increase of an applied force to a certain working force, wherein a hydraulic medium located in a piston/cylinder arrangement of the tool is used for applying the force and the working process no longer requires any higher force after the certain working force has been reached, wherein the tool allows an increase of the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force, and wherein reaching the certain working force results in a characteristic change of the pressure increase in the hydraulic medium. In order to advantageously carry out the method and to achieve an advantageous design of the tool, the solution proposes that, upon reaching the characteristic change, the return valve (21) is initially opened and a pressure drop in the hydraulic medium, which occurs as a result of opening the return valve (21), is used as a signal for deactivating the motor (11), wherein a control of the tool is designed accordingly.

Abstract

A hydraulically activatable working device includes a hydraulic cylinder and at least one first and one second partial piston provided therein. The partial pistons can be moved under pressurization by a hydraulic medium to perform a working operation. Each partial piston has an impact surface at its lower end against which the hydraulic medium may act. A piston rod is coupled to the hydraulic cylinder and has an impact surface at its lower end against which the partial pistons may act. The impact surface forms a first partial impact surface against which the first partial piston acts, and forms a second partial impact surface against which the second partial piston acts. The first and second partial impact surfaces do not overlap each other in direction across to the traversing direction.

Abstract

The described solution relates to a hand tool (1) with an actuator (11) and a moving part (16), wherein the actuator (11) drives the moving part (16) directly or via a gearbox or by a hydraulic medium for performing an intended operation, with a chamber (18) formed in the hand tool (1), in which an air volume with an air pressure is or can be enclosed. In order to improve the design of a hand tool of the kind in question with respect to handling safety, it is proposed that it be possible to change the air pressure and evaluate it for acquiring a state of the hand tool (1), wherein the operation can be performed independently of the air pressure that develops in the chamber (18).

Abstract

The disclosure pertains to a pressing tool (1) with a housing (3) and with pressing jaws (8, 9) arranged outside the housing (3), wherein one or both pressing jaws (8, 9) furthermore can be pivoted into the open position by a hand (35) of a user by acting upon the respective pressing jaw (8, 9) on an end (25) of the pressing jaw (8, 9) that faces the housing (3), wherein an actuating switch (7) furthermore is provided, and wherein the actuating switch (7) furthermore is formed on a holding projection (28) that incidentally protrudes from the housing (3). In order to advantageously enhance a pressing tool of the type in question with respect to its use, it is proposed that the pin-like holding projection (28), which has a longitudinal extent (c) with a free end (29), incidentally protrudes from the housing (3) at an acute or right angle (α) referred to the longitudinal axis (x) starting from the housing (3), that a dimension (d) of the holding projection (28) transverse to the longitudinal extent (c) is smaller than a smallest diameter (b) of the hand region (4), that a complete circumferential clearance of the holding projection (28) with respect to the housing (3) is realized in a plane (H) that extends through the holding projection (28) perpendicular to the longitudinal extent (c), and that the actuating switch (7) forms a portion of the front face (26).
