Abstract (en)

A power wrench for two-step tightening of screw joints, comprising a housing (13), an electric motor (10) including a rotor (25), an output shaft (24) coupled to the rotor (25), and a power supply means including a power converter (11) with a variable frequency and voltage output and a current responsive power shut-off means. A retardation responsive inertia means (28) is coupled to the motor rotor (25) via a spring (32) and a cam means (29, 30) for corotation with the motor rotor (25) and for activation of a switch (12) as a certain predetermined retardation magnitude in the motor rotor (25) is exceeded. The latter is used for obtaining a fast torque interruption of the initial tightening step of the two-step tightening process, whereas the final tightening step is discontinued automatically as a predetermined current magnitude in the power supply is reached.
