A crankshaft having a crank pin with a continually variable offset that is based on a rotational operating speed of a tool in order to provide high torque during high loading situations and higher speed as loading decreases. The crankshaft includes a crankshaft base that interfaces with a drive mechanism of the tool, a crank pin slider with a crank pin that interfaces with an output of the tool, and a bias member that biases the crank pin slider with respect to the crankshaft base. As a rotational speed of the crankshaft increases, inertial effects on the crank pin slider cause the crank pin slider to move against the bias of the bias member to a larger offset position to allow the output speed of the tool to increase. This allows a power ratchet type tool to operate at a variable torque and speed based on torque load.

A low profile integrated display that is integrated into a neck housing of a tool, such as a powered ratchet or powered torque wrench. A portion or section of the neck housing is removed to provide clearance for and receive a display assembly that includes a printed circuit board (PCB), display screen, lens, and buttons. A support/barrier is also placed between the PCB and a drive shaft of the tool to separate, support, and protect the PCB from the drive shaft of the tool. This allows the display assembly to be integrated into the neck housing of a tool, instead of a handle of the tool, which provides for a smaller profile of the tool compared to prior art tools, and reduces the risk of damage to the display assembly.

Vehicle alignment systems and methods are disclosed which operate based on a calculation of “drive direction,” or the direction in which a vehicle is moving. Since a vehicle can be assumed to be a rigid body, each wheel has the same drive direction. Consequently, an alignment parameter of one wheel can be compared to the same parameter of another wheel by equating their drive direction, eliminating the need for the aligner to “see” both sides of the vehicle at the same time. Embodiments include a system having one or more cameras on a fixture carrying a calibration element for an ADAS system, and one or more targets placed on the vehicle to measure the drive direction of the vehicle. The drive direction is assumed to be parallel to the vehicle thrust line and can be used as the line for orientation of the fixture to the vehicle.

The present invention relates broadly to commutation control of a BLDC motor for use with, for example, a power tool. The method uses a controller to control a BLDC motor in the event of a position sensor failure. Rather than ceasing operation of the motor and indicating a fault or error message to the user, the present invention determines when the next transition should occur based on the time between past hall transitions using a timer. Thus, if one or two position sensors are no longer providing position information to the controller, the controller can determine when the transitions would be changing based on past transitions to continue controlling the motor and prevents the motor from ceasing operation.
