Abstract
An impulse wrench includes a housing, an electric motor with a rotor, a hydraulic pulse unit with an inertia drive member and an output shaft, and a coupling rigidly connecting the rotor to the inertia drive member to form an integrated rotating structure. The coupling includes a male coupling portion on the inertia drive member and a female coupling portion on the rotor, such that the male coupling portion is received in the female coupling portion to form the coupling. The male and female coupling portions have external and internal threaded sections, respectively, where an axial clamping force is accomplished at relative rotation of the rotor and the inertia drive member. The male coupling portion and the female coupling portion are provided with mating conical surfaces which are brought together by the axial clamping force to form a rigid connection between the rotor and the inertia drive member.
