A drum-type shearer loader for the extraction of mineral material in the mining sector, has at least one shearer drum (1), which is mounted rotatably on a pivotable support arm (2) and which is driven by a drive motor (4) arranged at an end of the support arm (2), in the region of a support arm head (3). A compact drive unit for all operating states is provided with the drive motor (4) in the form of a permanent-magnet-excited synchronous machine which, during operation of the shearer drum (1), provides the entire drive power required for rotating the shearer drum (1).

An earth working machine (10), for example a road milling machine (10), recycler, stabilizer, or surface miner, having a propelling unit (22) and a machine frame (12) carried by the propelling unit (22), comprises a working apparatus (32) for earth working. Provision is made that the earth working machine (10) comprises, on an underside (12a) of the machine frame (12) facing toward the supporting substrate of the machine (10), a maintenance door (52) that is movable between a raised operational readiness position and a lowered maintenance position and that comprises, on its inner side (52a) that faces away from the supporting substrate (U) in the operational readiness position, at least one functional configuration (56, 58) that assists a maintenance operation.

An industrial machine including an actuator, a gear reducer, a cutter drum, a cutter bit, a sensor, and a controller. The gear reducer is configured to receive a first rotational energy from the actuator and output a second rotational energy. The cutter drum is supported by a chassis. The cutter drum is driven by the second rotational energy. The cutter bit is coupled to the cutter drum. The sensor is configured to sense a characteristic of the industrial machine. The controller, having a processor and memory, is configured to receive the characteristic of the industrial machine, determine a cutting efficiency based on the characteristic of the industrial machine, and output the cutting efficiency.

A shearer cutting unit with double-speed rollers includes a motor driving unit, a motor driving unit, a gear transmission unit and a roller output unit. The motor driving unit includes a left cutting motor and a right cutting motor which are both arranged in a cutting unit case and connected with the roller output unit in a transmission way through the gear transmission unit. The roller output unit comprises a middle output shaft (3-1), a far-end output shaft, a middle support frame, a middle roller, a far-end support frame and a far-end roller. A cutting roller is separated into two coaxially-rotating parts, and the two rollers can rotate in different speeds.

A combination bit and bit holder assembly includes a bit holder having a forward body portion and a shank. The forward body portion includes an upper end and a lower end. An insert is mounted in the bore of the upper end of the body portion. The insert also includes a central bore that receivingly retains a receiving cup. The receiving cup includes a bottom portion and an annular flange that extends from the bottom portion and defines a hollow forward portion. A bit is mounted in the hollow forward portion of the receiving cup which is configured to have a ductility that provides impact absorption to the bit.

The invention relates to a milling machine having a replaceable milling drum, different types of milling drums being capable of being associated with the milling machine; and having a control unit for controlling the milling machine, machine parameters of the milling machine being settable by way of the control unit. Provision is made that the milling machine has associated with it at least one means that is designed to detect at least one characteristic feature of the milling drum; that the at least one means is connected to the control unit; and that the control unit is designed to specify for at least one machine parameter, indirectly or directly from the characteristic feature, a value to be set, and/or a setting range. The invention further relates to a corresponding milling drum and to a corresponding method. The milling machine, milling drum, and method allow the selection of machine parameters for operation of the milling machine to be simplified.
