OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000000964 Portable electric pressing tool Published: 2026-09-15T19:03:39.710552Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000000964 Categories: Tools & Tooling > Clamping Tools ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A portable electric pressing tool has an electric motor arranged at least partially within the handle of the tool and having a motor output shaft extending along a first axis along the handle, and a pressing mechanism having a pair of jaws and which is operatively coupled to the motor output shaft via a transmission of the tool which in use causes relative movement of the jaws between first and second relative positions. The transmission may have a bevel gear arrangement for redirecting torque flowing along the first axis into the bevel gear arrangement so that torque output from the bevel gear arrangement flows into a conversion mechanism of the transmission for converting torque into linear force along a second axis for causing said relative movement between the jaws. The motor output shaft is arranged at an angle of 45 degrees to 135 degrees relative to the second axis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000000964 Published 2026-09-15T19:03:39.710552Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000000964
