Claims10
A strapping tool comprising:
- a support;
- a sealing assembly comprising opposing movable jaws for cutting notches into a seal element;
- a tensioning assembly mounted to the support and pivotable relative to the support about a tensioning-assembly-pivot axis between a strap-tensioning position and a strap-insertion position, wherein the tensioning assembly comprises a tension wheel and tensioning-assembly gearing operably connected to the tension wheel to rotate the tension wheel about a tension-wheel rotational axis that is spaced-apart from the tensioning-assembly-pivot axis;
- intermediary gearing comprising an intermediary gear rotatable about the tensioning-assembly-pivot axis and operably connected to the tensioning-assembly gearing to drive the tensioning-assembly gearing;
- and
- a motor operably connected to the intermediary gearing to rotate the intermediary gearing about the tensioning-assembly pivot axis,
- wherein the motor comprises a motor output shaft operably connected to the intermediate gearing by a belt, and wherein a rotational axis of the motor output shaft and the tensioning-assembly-pivot axis are parallel.
