Abstract
A drilling and bolting device for driving a drill element into a rock surface includes a frame, a drive unit supported for movement relative to the frame, and an actuator for moving the drive unit relative to the frame. The drive unit includes a motor and a chuck for engaging the drill element. The chuck is driven by the motor. In some aspects, the actuator includes a magnet exerting a magnetic force on the block to provide magnetic coupling between the actuator and a block supporting the motor. In some aspects, the actuator is positioned at least partially within an elongated member of the frame. In some aspects, the drive unit includes a switched reluctance motor including a stator and a rotor supported for rotation relative to the stator, and the rotor is directly coupled to the chuck.
