Electric tool, method, assembly, computer program product, and computer readable medium

A power tool with a tool, an electric motor for driving the tool and a control unit for controlling the electric motor, wherein the power tool is designed for connection to a mains voltage and comprises a rectifier arrangement with an intermediate circuit for providing an intermediate circuit voltage based on the mains voltage, the intermediate circuit voltage having a plurality of successive voltage half-waves, and the control unit being configured to provide, for each voltage half-wave, a respective torque half-wave for driving the electric motor, the waveform of which torque half-wave is flattened with respect to the waveform of the voltage half-wave.

A method for operating a power tool with a tool, an electric motor for driving the tool and a control unit for controlling the electric motor, the method comprising the steps:

• providing, by means of a rectifier arrangement comprising an intermediate circuit, an intermediate circuit voltage based on a mains voltage to which the power tool is connected, the intermediate circuit voltage comprising a plurality of successive voltage half-waves, and
• for each voltage half-wave, providing a respective torque half-wave for driving the electric motor, the waveform of which is flattened relative to the waveform of the voltage half-wave.

Arrangement comprising an electric motor for driving a tool and a control unit for driving the electric motor, the control unit being configured to provide for each voltage half-wave of an intermediate circuit voltage a respective torque half-wave for driving the electric motor, the waveform of which is flattened with respect to the waveform of the voltage half-wave.
