Abstract
A motor-driven machine with variable torque setting includes a motor, a planetary gearing driving a work spindle and a rotatably mounted internal gear actuating a motor de-energizer against the action of a spring force when a settable limit torque is exceeded. To achieve a compact design, a torsion spring element extending in the axial direction alongside the planetary gearing is provided for generating the spring force. The torsion spring element carries a swivel element at one end which engages a cam on the internal gear and is held at an opposite end in a support so that the swivel element can swivel out of an initial position against the action of the force of the torsion spring element to de-energize the motor.
