ABSTRACT:
A power tool (20) includes a modular drive system in which the motor (22) and transmission (24) consist of separate self-contained modular units which can be assembled together by simply sliding and rotating the motor housing (42) and the transmission housing (70) relative to each other. The motor (22) has a D-shaped rotary drive shaft (44) which is inserted into a D-shaped aperture (86) in the drive gear (84) of a planetary gear system (80) contained within the transmission housing (70). Guide pins (92) extending from the transmission housing (70) are inserted into guide holes (94) in the motor housing (42) when the D-shaped drive shaft (44) is inserted into the D-shaped aperture (86) in the drive gear (84) to align the housings (42,70) with each other. A bushing (46) at the front of the motor housing (42) is inserted into a central opening (76) at the rear of the transmission housing (70) to couple the housings (42,70) together.
