MYSTERIOUS 50 Year Old Soviet Power Tool: Teardown and Review!

[@alexcherkaev9383]

Electric power tools 36V 200Hz was commonplace in Soviet era factories. It typically operated from a 380V 50 Hz - 36V 200Hz machine converter. The converter consisted of an electric motor and a generator on a common shaft. This allowed for low, safe voltage, galvanic isolation, and the absence of friction parts like coal brushes in the collector motor.

[@ltech4174]

Yes, and it was also mandatory in boiler making "Kesselbau" to ensure safety inside the Metal Boiler so that you weren't shocked by a defective Electric tool.

[@Murgoh]

Yes, an industrial tool made for mass production in a factory. I used to work at a shipyard for a while in the 90' here in Finland and they had some high frequency angle grinders. The induction motor was an advantage in an environment with lots of metal dust as it tended to kill the brushes. The high frequency allows smaller motors and higher rpm than regular mains frequency. They were used with a rotary converter built on a cart.

[@mackebest1995]

makes some sense i was trying to figure out why someone would go to the lenghts making such a power tool. so i gues for safety and being able to be used on the exsisting 380v with 36v convert electrical infrastructure but a at 36 volts 4.5 amp (if thats what the 4.5 means) would that not be something like 162w seems kinda weak for an industrial tool but im not an export so idk might have been good for the task it was made for

This is a replacement for an industrial pneumatic tool. And in the front part there is not a hammer, but a clutch and torque limiter. Therefore, the switch is locked in the on position. The tip of the screwdriver with guides, which is missing here, is pressed against the screw head, the clutch engages, the screw is tightened, and the clutch begins to slip.

[@ivanlandry3830]

This comment should be pinned. That is my thought. Not an impact, but fastener torque limiting. Production tool. Turn it on, jam a bunch of fasteners in and only turn it off when shift done or something goes sideways kind of thing.

[@dit-zy]

i know nothing, but at 18:50 when you realized that it only spins when the bit is pushed in, it reminded me of seeing modern factory videos where they need to screw in 20 different screws on some component and they do it quickly. in those situations, i imagine it's very handy to have the bit stop spinning as soon they pull off, even if the motor is still spinning, so they don't over torque the screw or strip the head as they pull away from it.

[@Sam-sl5zv]

I have an old Milwaukee version of this that they call a "screw shooter" for running in drywall screws.

[@wojciechbieniek4029]

I've been working for large scale manufacturing and assembly, modern screw drivers have digital torque setting, when is stops immidiately after required torque is achieved, and won't even let you engage again. That way you can really speed up the manufacturing process

[@Der_Ed]

i've been using air powered ones at work. it's quite handy. the air motor only starts when pushing it onto the screw though in that case theres also cordless, electric versions like the bosch go and such

[@themagicboy6548]

This is 100% intended for a factory, spinning up, running in 15 screws in a row, and only really being engaged when pushed in.

[@djbiscuit1818]

I'm blown away by how helpful the comments are. I now know this thing runs on manually-converted (ie a motor from the mains directly spinning a generator)old soviet 380V 50Hz 3-phase to 36V 200Hz 3-phase, to power clutched electric screwdrivers to a set torque for industrial assembly.

[@SelinicaHarbinger]

High frequency tools were used in the US too. Most likely that took some sort of special bit in an industrial setting instead of the more usual types we think of. The high frequency makes for a nice compact tool for the size and, the other big selling point, makes it useless if stolen so tools walk off the jobsite far less frequently. That might be a form of a clutch moreso than an impact mechanism, so the drive mechanism kicks over when you hit the tightening torque.

[@plussum3255]

[@relo999]

@@fragdude DDR means " Deutsche Demokratische Republik", German democratic republic. Like pretty much every socialist state they called themselves democratic without implementing anything notably democratic, socialism is pretty undemocratic in practice. It wasn't soviet but had close ties with the Soviets which was a rather one sided relationship, it basically entailed that the DDR had to provide stuff for the Soviet Union but not the other way around.

[@SlavicSpring]

@@relo999 DDR and the USSR had the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. 40% of DDR exports (paid for) went to the USSR, while the USSR provided DDR with almost free energy in oil and gas. All raw materials for DDR industries were highly subventioned and sent from the USSR. That's hardly a "one-sided relationship" where DDR had to provide "stuff" for the Soviets "but not the other way around". Soviet leadership worked hard to present DDR, Poland and the Baltics as examples of Socialism. DDR Industries, Polish shipbuilding industry, Baltic fishing industry - all subventioned, all 100% non-profitable. Common people in the USSR paid that bill. The notion that a giant like the USSR would drain resources and materials from DDR for half a century and still have a single living person in DDR is ridiculous.

One of the interesting things about Soviet made products is the term "plastic" to them almost always refers to "Bakelite". Soviet products very rarely will be found with ABS, PVC, Nylon, etc. Bakelite was used for almost everything from tools, to buttons on garments, to toys.....much of it containing asbestos as a filler. I have a couple old Soviet made 30rd magazines for my WASR-10 (AK-47) that are made of a reddish colored Bakelite with asbestos fibers in it.

[@alex0088800]

And also a nitrocellulose. Many soviet toys were made of it, so kids used it to make a homemade rocket fuel

[@relo999]

Bakelit was pretty common everywhere else till about the 50's. I have an Soviet home computer from '89, the case is ABS but key caps, part of the key switches and even IC sockets are all Bakelite (funnily enough only those not directly accessible to the normal user, those that are are some unidentified blue plastic that looks like a cross between ABS and bakelite). I think it's the only computer system I own (and I have stuff from the early 70's) that even has bakelite in it. It's weird to see relatively modern usecases, like IC sockets and keycaps, made out of bakelite.

And also one of the biggest reasons of running on such a strange voltage and frequency - such things was not also widely used on construction sites, but in workshops packed with fellow inmates.

Problem you are having is that your transformers are rated for 50 or 60 hz. once you go for 200hz they start "feeling unwell" because of losing inductivity.

It is the same mechanism as a drywall screwgun. Which takes 1/4" bits(6.35 mm) . So you might try a 1/4" bit in it. When you press the screw against a surface it engages the clutch.

the choice to include star trek enterprise season 4 in that bit is a quirky one, and is such a remote reference, because i've found many a trekky don't even know much about STE. Hats off, it was my favourite series when I was.... in middle school. oh god. yeaa it's definitely "an series"

The higher frequency allows for faster brushless motors and also allows to make them smaller. The low voltage is for safety in damp environments.

Your best bet is a modern BLDC driver. Maybe an E-bike driver that can be used at 200hz?

Damp environments?? Were soviet factories falling apart with water and melting snow going everywhere? Or were the factory workers just tripping and spilling vodka all over their tools?
