Abstract
A coupling arrangement for a tool, the coupling arrangement comprising a drive part rotatable about a rotation axis, the drive part comprising a drive profile; a driven part rotatable about the rotation axis, the driven part comprising a driven profile complementary to the drive profile, the driven profile being arranged to mate with the drive profile in a coupled position for torque transfer between the drive part and the driven part; and an aligning arrangement arranged to force a relative rotation between the drive part and the driven part about the rotation axis from a nonaligned state of the coupling arrangement, where the drive profile is not rotationally aligned with the driven profile, towards an aligned state of the coupling arrangement, where the drive profile is rotationally aligned with the driven profile.
