In a clamping device for clamping a disk-shaped tool to a threaded spindle of a hand-held machine tool, a nut part, which can be screwed onto the threaded spindle, presses a face plate against the tool. An axial rolling bearing is arranged between the nut part and the face plate. To achieve simple and reliable manual clamping and release, in conjunction with a slip clutch function under overload, a spring is arranged between the face plate and the nut part next to the axial rolling bearing. The spring forms a non-rotatable frictionally engaged connection between the nut part and the face plate. The axial rolling bearing supports the face plate on the nut part. The nut part slips in relation to the face plate when an upper limit value of the torque transmitted is exceeded, and the axial rolling bearing rotates.

Clamping device for clamping a tool

An orbital sander having a sanding plate braced via elastic elements, the plate being capable of being set into reciprocating motion by an eccentric drive element that can be set into rotation by the armature shaft of the drive motor. The eccentric drive element is an outer wheel of an asymmetrical planetary gear, with a sun wheel disposed on the drive shaft.

Orbital sander

An electric handtool includes a two-stage speed reduction gear unit in which each stage includes a sun gear and two planet gears carried by a carrier. The carrier of the first stage has a small diameter hexagonal first socket for receiving and entraining, for example, the shank of a chuck. The carrier of the second stage has a large diameter hexagonal second socket for receiving and entraining, for example, the shank of a screwdriver bit as well as a passage bore to provide access to the first socket. The socket and bore in the second stage are dimensioned so that the shank of the chuck can extend therethrough without being entrained thereby.
