ABSTRACT:
An improved rotary power shear that includes an electric motor which drives, through a reduction gear assembly, a rotary shear assembly comprised of a driving shear wheel which rotates against a cooperating driven shear wheel. The design of the tool is characterized by a handle that extends above the motor housing and gear casing, and which supports the tool at one end from the gear casing and at the other end from the rear of the motor housing. In this manner the tool is balanced when held by the handle as the weight of the gear casing and cutting assembly at the forward end of the tool offsets the weight of the motor at the rearward end of the tool. In addition, the design of the tool is facilitated by the provision of a single bracket member that serves the multiple functions of supporting and biasing together the rotary shear wheels, providing a cover for the gear casing, and also providing a support for the stub shafts on which the gears are journalled. An overload release clutch is also incorporated into the reduction gear assembly to protect the tool from being damaged by excessive workpiece resistance. The preferred embodiment of the tool further includes a forward-and-reverse switching capability.
