Abstract
A hydrodynamic compression or cutting tool comprises a housing, an electric motor arranged in the housing and having a motor rotational axis, a gripping portion formed by the housing and extending around the motor and along the motor rotational axis, a hydraulic pump arranged inside the housing and which can be driven by the motor so as to move a actuating piston along a actuating axis, a transmission mechanism arranged inside the housing between the motor and the hydraulic pump, two jaws connected to the housing and to the actuating piston, and which can be moved between an open position and a closed position for carrying out the compression or cut, wherein the actuating axis and the motor rotational axis are reciprocally parallel and offset.

A hydrodynamic compression or a cutting tool, comprising:
- a housing,
- an electric motor, which can be powered by an accumulator or by mains supply, said motor being arranged inside the housing and having a motor rotational axis,
- a gripping portion formed by the housing and extending around the motor and along the motor rotational axis,
- a hydraulic pump arranged inside the housing, wherein the hydraulic pump includes a pumping piston, wherein the pumping piston has an axis, and wherein the hydraulic pump can be actuated by the motor so as to generate a pressure increase of a hydraulic liquid acting on an actuating piston for moving the actuating piston along an actuating axis, wherein the actuating piston is coaxial with the actuating axis,
- a transmission mechanism arranged inside the housing between the motor and the hydraulic pump, wherein said transmission mechanism includes an oscillation member, and
- two jaws connected to the housing and to the actuating piston so that, in response to the movement of the actuating piston, the jaws make a relative movement between an open position and a closed position for carrying out the compression or cut, wherein:
- the actuating axis and the motor rotational axis are parallel to one another,
- the actuating axis and the motor rotational axis are offset from one another at least in a coupling area formed by at least one of the transmission mechanism and the hydraulic pump,
- the actuating axis is offset with respect to the motor rotational axis towards a side of the tool opposite a side of the tool on which an actuating button is arranged for actuating the motor,
- in the coupling area, the housing forms an offset outer step on the upper side of the tool, wherein the offset outer step delimits the gripping portion and creates a resting surface, and
- wherein an offset plane which is orthogonal to the motor rotational axis and passing through the coupling area, intersects the offset outer step and the actuating button,
- wherein the hydrodynamic compression or cutting tool includes an offset coupling zone, wherein the offset coupling zone is between the oscillation member of the transmission mechanism and the pumping piston of the hydraulic pump, wherein the oscillation member of the transmission mechanism has a rotation axis, and wherein the rotation axis of the oscillation member is offset from the axis of the pumping piston, and
- wherein the offset outer step is diametrically opposite to the actuating button.
