Abstract

A power tool including a brushless motor having a sensor circuit board has higher durability. The power tool includes a housing, a brushless motor including a rotor having a rotational shaft, a stator, and a sensor circuit board fixed to the stator and having a rotation detecting element that detects rotation of the rotor, and receiving the rotational shaft through the sensor circuit board, and a bearing held in the housing and supporting the rotational shaft. The bearing is located to overlap the rotation detecting element in an axial direction of the rotational shaft.

Claims (34)

1. A power tool, comprising:

a housing;

a brushless motor including

a rotor having a rotational shaft,

a stator, and

a sensor circuit board fixed to the stator and having a rotation detecting element configured to detect rotation of the rotor, and receiving the rotational shaft therethrough; and

a bearing held in the housing and supporting the rotational shaft, the bearing being located to overlap the rotation detecting element in an axial direction of the rotational shaft, wherein

the sensor circuit board includes

a through-hole through which the rotational shaft extends and having a periphery at which the rotation detecting element is located, and

an interference avoidance hole continuous with the through-hole, configured to receive the bearing therethrough, and having a larger diameter than the through-hole.

2. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the interference avoidance hole has a radius R greater than a radial distance D from a center of the rotational shaft to the rotation detecting element.

3. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of the rotation detecting elements are concentrically arranged on the periphery of the through-hole.

4. The power tool according to claim 2 , wherein

a plurality of the rotation detecting elements are concentrically arranged on the periphery of the through-hole.

5. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the sensor circuit board further includes

a conductive pattern connected to the rotation detecting element, and

a lead connection connected to the conductive pattern.

6. The power tool according to claim 2 , wherein

the sensor circuit board further includes

a conductive pattern connected to the rotation detecting element, and

a lead connection connected to the conductive pattern.

7. The power tool according to claim 3 , wherein

the sensor circuit board further includes

a conductive pattern connected to the rotation detecting element, and

a lead connection connected to the conductive pattern.

8. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the bearing is held in the housing to overlap the through-hole and the rotation detecting element.

9. The power tool according to claim 2 , wherein

the bearing is held in the housing to overlap the through-hole and the rotation detecting element.

10. The power tool according to claim 3 , wherein

the bearing is held in the housing to overlap the through-hole and the rotation detecting element.
