International ClassB25D 16/00AbstractThe invention is based on a hand power tool having an electric motor (12) located in a housing (10), via which an insertable tool (16) situated in a tool mount (14) is capable of being driven in a rotating manner, and having a safety device (18) with which a characteristic value for an occurrence of uncontrolled blockage of the insertable tool (16) can be detected via a sensor unit (20), and the movement of the housing (10) can be decelerated.It is proposed that the safety device (18) is formed at least partially by a motor control unit (22), via which the electric motor (12) can be actively decelerated when an occurrence of uncontrolled blockage of the insertable tool (16) is detected.Field of SearchAUTOMATIC CONTROL OF POWER OPERATED MEANSDrive means responsive to torque or speed condition Responsive to torque or speed condition of drive With additional control by means sensing condition of advance means Having torque responsive clutch Having torque sensor Electric motor Responsive to condition of tool or tool-drive To control tool rotation Including means to move tool along tool-axis Double-acting ratchet TOOL OR TOOL-SUPPORT WITH TORQUE-APPLYING RATCHET | |
