Abstract
A rotary power tool includes a gear case, an output shaft, a drive mechanism, and a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism including a compression spring positioned around the output shaft. The rotary power tool further includes a clutch adjustment assembly having a collar disposed circumferentially around the gear case and rotatable to adjust a length of the compression spring, an inductive sensor disposed within the collar and proximate the compression spring such that a voltage is induced in the inductive sensor in response to relative movement between the compression spring and a magnetic field emitted by the inductive sensor, and an electronic control unit configured to receive an output signal from the inductive sensor indicative of the change in inductance in the inductive sensor and to determine a parameter of the clutch mechanism based on the output signal. The compression spring is disposed adjacent and offset from the inductive sensor.
