  • the invention has a mechanical percussion to the object, which has a provided with at least one drive cams impactor and provided with at least one output cam output shaft, wherein the at least one drive cam for the striking drive of the output cam is formed in a percussion mode of the mechanical percussion and the impactor cooperates with a drive shaft.
  • a rotary impact tool in which a drive shaft is rotationally driven by a rotational drive power source, the drive shaft having an outer peripheral surface and a cam groove formed on the outer peripheral surface.
  • a hammer is disposed coaxially with the drive shaft, the hammer having an inner peripheral surface and a cam groove formed on the inner peripheral surface.
  • the rotary impact tool has an anvil engageable with the hammer along a rotational direction and a compression spring for axially biasing the hammer in the direction of the anvil or a corresponding tool holder.
  • a ball For mechanical coupling between the drive shaft and the hammer a ball is provided, which engages in the cam groove of the drive shaft and in the cam groove of the hammer.

  • One form of a rotary locus of the hammer is in the advancing direction and the driven direction, respectively formed as a curve in which a pitch angle of the rotational location line changes continuously with the change of the hammer rotation angle.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a hand tool with a hammer mechanism, in which the synchronization between a striker and a drive shaft is at least largely ensured in all operating conditions and which requires a reduced drive torque.
  • a hand tool with a mechanical striking mechanism which has a drive shaft for the rotary drive of the impact mechanism associated with the mechanical striking mechanism.
  • At least one V-shaped guide groove is provided on an outer circumference of the drive shaft, the baselines of which converge in a connecting section being configured concave-polygonal in the output direction at least in sections.
  • the invention thus enables improved synchronization between the drive and driven cams of the mechanical percussion mechanism due to improved progression geometry of the V-shaped guide grooves, so that in particular the risk of wear-increasing, frontal or peripheral collisions between them is considerably reduced.
  • the co-operating with the impactor drive shaft is preferably driven via a transmission for speed and torque adjustment of a mains or battery-powered electric motor.
  • a driving ball is arranged in the at least one guide groove of the drive shaft, which engages in a driving cut-out formed on an inner circumference of a passage opening of the striking body.

  • the drive torque to be applied by a drive motor for operating the percussion mechanism can be reduced along with other positive effects and, consequently, significantly increase the service life of a particularly impact-fed impact wrench.
  • there is an improved synchronization between the drive and the output cam of the impact mechanism which among other things leads to a reduction in wear and an increase in the life.
