5VS15М self-propelled mine car

The car is designed for transportation of the mined material in gassy and dusty underground mines.

The machine is applied for transportation of mined material in underground mines that are gas (methane) - hazardous and dusty. 
The car is manufactured in two version: for potassium deposits and coal mines with blast-proof electric equipment, 660V voltage. 
The car for coal mining has undergone certain modifications as follows: 
-  round-link chain 18x64 with destructive force up to 40 t/sec applied; 
-  conveyor flights are wrought; 
-  bottom and guides for conveyor chain has been fortified; 
-  "bump-stops" on the left and right sides are installed to prevent interspersing of small pieces of coal; 
-  protecting canopy is installed over the cabin; 
-  the body construction allows its dismounting into several parts; maximal dimensions and weight - 5425x2128x505mm, 1335 kg. 
The propel drive is powered by two three-speed motors; all the wheels are driven and steering. Front axle is balanced; rear axle is bolted to the frame. Steering system is equipped with hydraulic boost mechanism on the bases of "hydraulic steering wheel". 
The car is supplied with three brake systems: service (pedal) brakes, park (hand) brakes and emergency brakes. 
Service (pedal) brakes are installed for all wheels: powered by hydraulic drive. 
Park (hand) brakes are installed on the output shafts of the propel gear boxes. The brakes are of normal-closed type. Hydraulic cylinders with spring lock are the operating elements of the machine. 
Emergency brakes - simultaneous work of both service and park brakes. 
Flight conveyor drive is motioned by a two-speed motor. 
Conveyor chain in the car designed for potassium mines of type P2-80-290 has the destructive force up to 29 t/sec. 
Cable drum capacity - 180 m. Drive of the cable drum operates from hydraulic drive with automaticwinding. 
Operator`s cab  -  two-positioned with fold-back seats.
