Abstract

In a hand-held power tool having a housing and a tool holder, which is disposed on a drive shaft that is rotationally mounted in at least one first and one second ball bearing, the first ball bearing having a first inner ring and the second ball bearing having a second inner ring, a spring element is disposed between the first inner ring and the second inner ring in order to prestress the first ball bearing with respect to the second ball bearing.

Claims (19)

1. A hand-held power tool, comprising:

a housing;

a tool holder;

a drive shaft that is rotationally mounted in at least one first and one second ball bearing, the first ball bearing having a first inner ring, and the second ball bearing having a second inner ring, the tool holder being disposed on the drive shaft, wherein the second ball bearing is disposed axially immovably on the drive shaft and is supported axially displaceably in the housing;

a spring element that (a) is disposed between the first inner ring and the second inner ring in order to prestress the first ball bearing with respect to the second ball bearing, and (b) abuts against both of the first inner ring and the second inner ring such that the spring element rotates with the same speed as the first inner ring and the second inner ring during rotation of the drive shaft;

a notched mechanism for impact generation for the drive shaft, the notched mechanism being situated between the second ball bearing and the tool holder; and

a blocking member configured to block an axial shift of the second ball bearing and the drive shaft in a direction away from the tool holder in a drilling operation or screwing operation and to unblock an axial shift of the second ball bearing and the drive shaft in a direction away from the tool holder in an impact operation.

2. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring element is fixed in position on the first inner ring and the second inner ring to permit the spring element to rotate with the first inner ring and the second inner ring during rotation of the drive shaft.

3. The power tool as recited in claim 2 , wherein the spring element is fixed in position by a pre-stressing force.

4. The power tool as recited in claim 2 , wherein the spring element is fixed in position by a connection to the first inner ring and the second inner ring.

5. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first ball bearing is supported axially and radially immovably in the housing and is disposed on the drive shaft in a sliding fit.

6. The power tool as recited in claim 5 , wherein the first ball bearing has an outer ring that is supported in a press fit in a clamping ring secured in the housing.

7. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second ball bearing has an outer ring that is supported in a sliding fit in a ring-like element that is secured axially and radially immovably in the housing.

8. The power tool as recited in claim 7 , wherein the notched mechanism includes a first notched disk which is secured axially and radially immovably on the drive shaft, and a second notched disk which is secured in an axially and radially immovable manner to the ring-like element.

9. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the drive shaft is able to be propelled via a gear unit, the first ball bearing being disposed in the housing so that the first ball bearing is at least sectionally in an area of an end face of the gear unit facing an end face of the housing.

10. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second ball bearing is disposed in the housing so that the second ball bearing is at least sectionally in an area of an end face of the housing facing the tool holder.

11. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a supporting element for axially supporting the second ball bearing to make it possible to limit an axial shift of the second ball bearing in a direction of the tool holder.

12. The power tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the notched mechanism includes a first notched disk which is secured axially and radially immovably on the drive shaft, and a second notched disk which is secured axially and radially immovably relative to the housing.
