An adapter cover includes a shell body including an exterior surface and an interior surface. A front face portion defines a thru-hole, a top leg extending horizontally from the front face portion and defining an adapter cover key on the interior surface. A top leg side portion defining a concave arcuate portion extending rearward from the front face portion, a convex arcuate portion extending horizontally from the concave arcuate portion, and terminating in a vertical rear surface. A bottom leg extending horizontally from the front face portion.

A load sharing block includes a body including a flat outer surface defining a first end and a second end, a first arcuate outer portion extending from the first end of the flat outer surface, and a second arcuate outer portion extending from the second end of the flat outer surface. The first arcuate outer portion terminates at a first free end and includes a first elliptical outer surface extending from the first free end.

An adapter includes a first leg, a second leg, and a throat portion that define a slot defining a direction of assembly onto a work implement assembly, a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly, and a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly and the lateral direction. The throat portion further includes a first throat side surface disposed along the lateral direction and a second throat side surface disposed on the opposite side of the throat portion along the lateral direction. The first throat side surface defines a first adapter cover receiving recess.

The first and the second legs and the throat portion of an adapter include an upper surface and a lower surface that at least partially define a slot, and a clearance void disposed at the closed end of the slot. A ratio of the clearance void width to the clearance void height ranges from 2.0 to 3.0.

Methods and systems for detecting heavy machine wear. One system includes a heavy machine tooth of an industrial machine having a working end and a mounting end opposite the working end. The system also includes a wear indicator included in the tooth. The wear indicator includes a conductive tip, a conductive outer body extending along at least a length of the tooth, a conductive inner core positioned within the outer body, and insulating material positioned between the outer body and the inner core. The conductive tip is positioned between the working end of the tooth and the outer body and electrically couples the outer body and the inner core to form an electric circuit. The system also includes a transmitter included in the tooth. The transmitter transmits a state of the electric circuit.

A monitoring device and system located in a hole in a base of a ground engaging product for monitoring a characteristic of the ground engaging product. The characteristic can pertain to presence, part ID, condition, usage and/or performance of ground-engaging product secured to the earth working equipment. The monitoring system may detect the presence and/or absence of one or more of the components of the ground engaging product.

The present invention is related to hierarchical composite wear component comprising a reinforced part, said reinforced part comprising a reinforcement of a triply periodic minimal surface ceramic lattice structure, said structure comprising multiple cell units, said cell units comprising voids and micro-porous ceramic cell walls, the micro-pores of the cell walls comprising a sinter metal or a cast metal, the ceramic lattice structure being embedded in a bicontinuous structure with a cast metal matrix.

The invention relates to an excavating finger of a bucket that is designed to be fitted to an excavating chain for a device for excavating ballast beneath a railroad track, the finger being in one piece and comprising: a retention portion that is rotationally symmetric about a reference axis of the finger, the retention portion being designed to be accommodated in a cylindrical cavity of the bucket; and a tip designed to project out of the cylindrical cavity of the bucket, the excavating finger (132) wherein the retention portion comprises at least one annular channel that is configured to receive at least part of an immobilizing rod, designed to provide axial retention of the retention portion in the cylindrical cavity in such a way that the finger is free to rotate about its reference axis.

Capsule for protecting an electronic device inside a wear element of an earth moving machine, corresponding wear element and machine. The capsule has a central axis defining an axial direction, a front end, and a rear end. The capsule comprises a container, extending in the axial direction from said front end, provided with an inner chamber for housing said electronic device, and has a front part provided with a flange, and a rear part. The capsule also comprises a cover that can be removably coupled to said container and configured for covering said rear part of said container.

A construction machinery bucket part includes a body including a low alloy cast iron, and a wear resistant tip cast bonded to an end portion of the body and including a white cast iron. The construction machinery bucket part includes dissimilar materials, and has improved economic feasibility and wear resistance.
