The present disclosure pertains to a headstock gear for a feed system of a shearer loader, comprising a plurality of teeth, each tooth having a tooth geometry. Accordingly, for each tooth, the tooth geometry consists of two symmetric S-shaped tooth profiles which are arranged line symmetrically regarding a radius line, as seen from a view along an axis of rotation. Furthermore, the present disclosure pertains to a system comprising a headstock gear and a gear rack comprising several gear rack segments which are arranged next to each other such that a track is provided. The gear rack comprises two different gear rack pitches. Moreover, the disclosure pertains to a method for dimensioning a tooth geometry of a headstock gear for a shearer loader, comprising a plurality of teeth, the method comprising the step of identifying all relevant engagement conditions during operation of the headstock gear together with the gear rack and selecting a tooth geometry on the basis of the identified relevant engagement conditions by minimizing a tooth root tension.
