Abstract
A pneumatic power nutrunner comprises a housing (10), a rotation motor (19), an air inlet passage (15), a torque limiting release clutch (20) located between the motor (19) and an output shaft (13), which clutch (20) includes overriding cam elements (24, 25) spring biassed via a thrust sleeve (26), and a shut-off valve (30) in the air inlet passage (15) axially supported by an activating rod (32, 36) which by its forward end engages a latch (40) radially displaceable into a recess (42) in the thrust sleeve (26) for releasing the activating rod (32, 36) and the shut-off valve (30) for axial displacement at clutch release. The shut-off valve (30) comprises a pneumatic actuator (31, 34) for accomplishing an extension of the axial displacement of the activating rod (32, 36) at part closure of the shut-off valve (30). Cam elements (39, 43) on the activating rod (32, 36) and the thrust sleeve (26) are arranged to cooperate with the latch (40) to accomplish an extension of the thrust sleeve (26) displacement at clutch release and closure of the shut-off valve (30).
