ABSTRACT:
High-low speed rotary drive mechanism for rotatably driving driven elements of a tool, for example a hydraulic chuck, while permitting axial movement of the driven elements relative thereto, said mechanism including a housing, a tubular spindle rotatably mounted by the housing top and bottom walls, drive lugs joined to the spindle inner peripheral wall for driving the driven elements, an axially lower main drive gear fixed to the spindle to drive the spindle, a reversible hydraulic motor mounted on the housing for driving the main drive gear at high speed, low torque, an upper gear mounted on the spindle between the lower gear and the top wall for rotation relative the spindle, an elongated rack having teeth intermeshing with the upper gear for driving the upper gear at high torque, low speed, and a poppet type ratchet assembly mounted by the upper gear to rotate therewith. The ratchet assembly includes a ratchet member that in one angular position relative the upper gear is axially movable into a lower gear aperture to transmit a driving force from the upper gear when the upper gear is driven in one angular direction and permit the upper gear rotating relative the lower gear in the opposite angular direction, and a second angular position axially movable into a lower gear aperture to transmit a driving force to the lower gear when the upper gear is driven in the opposite angular direction.
