10VS15 self-propelled mine car

The machine 10VS15 (10ВС15) is applied for transportation of mined materials in the gas (methane) - hazardous and dusty (coal) mines at the temperatures of the environment up to +35⁰ C and average humidity - up to 98%. The car is manufactured in two versions: for 660V and 1140V voltage. The propel drive is equipped by three-speed motors; all wheels are driven and steering. The front-wheel suspension is balanced, rear suspension is rigid. Steering system is supplied with hydraulic booster on the basis of "hydraulic steering wheel". The car is equipped with service, park and emergency brakes. Service brakes are of plate type in the wheels; park brakes are installed on the drives; the emergency brakes are represented by service brakes that start from pneumatic hydraulic accumulators. Flight conveyor drive is powered by two-speed motor. The speed of chain movement has increased from 0,15 - 0,3m/sec. up to 0,4-0,5m/sec. Conveyor chain is of round-link type - 18x64.

Two hydraulic jacks for the mounting of the wheels are installed in the front part of the car. Operator's cabin is two-positioned; cable drum drive is hydraulic; cable winding is automatic. The machine can be taken to units for easy descend to the mine. The maximal dimensions and weight of units are - 5573x 2500x525mm; 1800kg.

The car design is universal and meets the exploitation requirements both of potash and coal mines. Exploitation experience has been greatly considered during the development of the 5VS15M (5ВС15М) and VS30 (ВС30).
