Abstract

Abstract A percussion drill machine includes a drill shaft with a chuck for a drilling tool and a percussion device for imparting percussive force to the drilling tool held in the chuck. Each of the driving shaft and the percussive device has a separate electrical motor. The electrical motors can have a common stator or each motor may have its own stator. Each electrical motor has its own rotor and shaft. The shafts can be arranged coaxially with one being a hollow shaft laterally encircling the other. In another arrangement the shafts can be disposed in laterally spaced parallel relation.
