Traction equipment is in great demand today, as it allows you to simplify many tasks and do a large amount of work in a wide variety of areas of human activity. It can be used both in the extraction of various kinds of minerals, and in the construction of structures and the implementation of other tasks necessary to maintain the life of mankind.

One of the most popular tractors

This position is rightfully claimed by KamAZ 53215, specifications which are excellent for the task at hand. Depending on the modification, the tractor can be equipped with engines of different power. The peculiarity that the engine possesses is the fuel material, which allowed the installation of a turbocharger to increase power, as well as a rather specific cooling system. The latter is played by a special supercharged design. KamAZ 53215, the engine of which is already considered somewhat outdated, is still classified as environmentally friendly. The amount of harmful materials emitted with the exhaust is minimal.

Restyling

Most recently, the company presented an updated KamAZ 53215. Its main feature was a modified engine, which became stronger, now its power is 320 hp. Of the minuses of this modernization, it is worth noting the limited edition. Because of this, it will be very difficult to meet such a tractor on the roads. Despite this, many were interested in this KamAZ 53215, the photo of the engine got into the network, thereby attracting even more fans of this technology.

Another difference of the new engine is its very large roll. In the longitudinal plane, this value is 20 degrees, and in the lateral plane - 10. It is these parameters that will allow the new tractor to overcome rather problematic areas, which are characteristic of not entirely uniform terrain. The resource of such a unit is also very large. It will be necessary to change the oil only after 16 thousand runs. Depending on the operational parameters, as well as modes of use, this parameter can change both up and down.

terms of Use

Depending on where KamAZ 53215 is used, other consumables are used. If loading equipment is installed at the base, which operates in conditions of constant dampness, as well as at very large temperature differences, then the oil must also be changed more often.

If the climate is dry, and temperature differences are not observed (or are minimal), then operate without replacement engine oil the engine can be up to 20 thousand mileage.

The total volume of material used to lubricate all engine elements is 28 liters. Moreover, the maximum temperature of the cooling system, at which normal operation is guaranteed, is no more than 95 degrees. Depending on the modification of KamAZ 53215, the characteristics of the engine may change.

For normal work and long-term operation, fuel tanks can be installed on the updated KamAZ, both 350 and 500 liters, it all depends on the modification, as well as the purpose.

Capabilities

The carrying capacity of KamAZ 53215 is as much as 11 tons. In addition, thanks to the powerful V-shaped motor it is possible to tow an additional trailer, the weight of which can reach up to 14 tons. The truck has a 6 by 4 wheel arrangement, and is capable of speeds over 90 km / h. The outer turning radius is only 9.8 meters.

The KamAZ 53215 scheme also allows you to install an additional working equipment: container, truck crane, device for spreading sand, for watering and washing roads.

Chassis

Many years have passed since the development of the KamAZ 53215 chassis, but the design is relevant to this day. The frame, which is the supporting part, is made of special steel. This material has very high strength as well as incredible corrosion resistance. It was the frame that allowed the tractor to withstand not only heavy weight additional equipment, but also a significant mass of goods intended for transportation. The total weight of the tractor with a trailer can reach 33 tons. At the same time, the front axle has a load of 3.6 tons, and the rear axle - 4.7.

The weight of the truck with an empty body is 8.4 tons, this does not include the weight of lubricants, as well as filling fluids.

The diagram shows how all six wheels are installed. Material - high strength steel. When necessary, such wheels are very quickly and easily repaired and balanced. This is perhaps one of the greatest advantages of this tractor.

Depending on the model, different tires can be used, but, as a rule, they are chambered, although there are configurations that work with tubeless cylinders.

A very popular combination of KamAZ 53215 is a platform with sides. This design has won particular respect in the construction industry. Its dimensions are 4.8 meters in length and 2.32 in width.

The cab is mounted directly above the engine, it looks very compact, but interior quite spacious and has a high level of comfort. Equipped with a high roof and additional driver's seat adjustment.

If necessary, a crew of three can be accommodated inside, together with a driver. Some configurations provide for the installation of a berth. This allows you to travel long distances with a relative level of comfort. Cab sound insulation is mediocre. The engine runs relatively quietly, which allows communication inside the cab in an almost undertone, which also has a positive effect on the sensitivity of the hearing organs and on driving comfort.

The disadvantage of such a cabin is the absence of a lifting mechanism. If it is necessary to carry out some repair actions, it will be necessary to manually raise the entire cabin, since this particular model is not equipped with a hydraulic drive.

Transmission

The KamAZ 53215 engine is paired with manual transmission and with an additional demultiplier that acts as a divider. The designers have specially developed such a transmission to work in particularly difficult conditions.

The modified KamAZ 53215, the photo of which is below, is equipped with two gearboxes. The splitter transmission is located between the clutch and the main gearbox. The use of an additional box is carried out only in special cases... For example, it is very difficult for the motor to work in second gear, and there are not enough rpm for the third gear.

The main transmission has 10 gears. In this case, the gear ratio of the bridges is 7.22. The parameters of the main gearbox are standard, but there are also duplicate gear ratios. The use of these parameters is possible only when the divider is connected. It is precisely because of the demultiplier that the engine wears out less, which significantly increases its resource, comfort when driving.

Electrical equipment

A kind of electrical equipment is installed at KamAZ 53215, which is divided into several systems capable of working with each other:

• electrical wiring for heating inside the passenger compartment, as well as for controlling the wiper and washer;
• wiring for the normal operation of both indoor and outdoor lighting;
• power unit equipment.

A special feature of KamAZ 53215 is the use of a generator with an operating power of 800 W, depending on the modification, it is possible to install a 2 kW generator. A complete set with an 800 W generator has its own advantages:

• the voltage inside the network is 28 V;
• straightening unit available;
• there is a regulator for changing the voltage;
• all stator windings are star-connected.

It is possible to install a rotor from the previous model on the generator, which operates at 14 V. This application allows you to reduce the risk of overvoltage that can occur when the load drops. In 53215, two batteries work simultaneously, with the voltage on each equal to 12 V.

Relevance

Today KamAZ is one of the most popular and most demanded vehicle of this class. There are many reasons for this, among which: not very high price; ease of implementation renovation works; unpretentiousness in work.

KamAZ 53215, the technical characteristics of which are inferior only to some European counterparts, compensates for all its shortcomings with a difference in price. It should be noted that the cost of KamAZ 53215 is only 1.72 million rubles.

Trucks coming off the assembly line of OJSC KamAZ are well known not only to the population of the post-Soviet space. Powerful, reliable heavy-duty trucks from the banks of the Kama can be found on the roads of many countries.

And this is natural - because KamAZ is largest manufacturer trucks in the world. However, today, due to economic reasons, the plant does not use its entire production potential. Nevertheless, the work on improving the quality of products at KamAZ is being carried out very seriously, and this is bearing fruit.

Updated KAMAZ-53215

Today we will test the first model mastered by KAMAZ. This is a flatbed truck with an index of 5320, with a lifting capacity of 8 tons, equipped with a 210-horsepower engine. The machine could also be used with a trailer of similar carrying capacity.

The instance on which the test drive is carried out represents upgraded version KamAZ-53215 with a turbocharged 260-horsepower power unit. Its carrying capacity has been increased to 11 tons. In comparison with the basic version, progress is obvious, and comments are unnecessary here.

In addition to the model we are testing, KamAZ also produces versions with 320 and 360-horsepower engines with fuel equipment that meets the Euro-2 standard.

"KamAZ" -53215 is offered to customers in various configurations. So, options are offered with an awning or without it. Often, the awning is not used, and the possibility of purchasing a truck in a simpler configuration and more affordable pricecertainly attracts buyers.

How much is new in this well-worn truck? New, and not slightly refurbished a little. This is, first of all, a more powerful turbocharged power unit and tires of standard size 300 / 508R20, allowing speeds up to 110 km / h.

The design of the transmission remained the same - and the five-speed gearbox, and the axles, and the caradan were not changed. True, the gear ratio of the gearboxes has changed in the bridges, which allows the engine to reach maximum power at 2200 rpm.

There are no changes in the cockpit equipped with a seating area. It was slightly renovated, however, the suspension to the frame and the interior remained the same.

Now a few comments. If necessary, it is almost impossible to lift the cab with a berth on our KamAZ alone. With this difficult task, making a lot of efforts, we coped with it together. Perhaps we will be advised to adjust the torsion bar. However, when dealing with absolutely new car, barely rolled off the conveyor, all mechanisms and units must be adjusted at the factory.

In addition, on almost all modern trucks, including other KAMAZ models, this task is performed by a hydraulic drive, and it is quite appropriate to equip this model with a hydraulic drive.

Test Drive

Now let's get down to the actual test drive. The first cold start of the engine surprised not only us, but also the staff of the test site where we conducted the tests. After starting a cold engine, the usual exhaust was not visible in the rearview mirror. No smoke - neither black nor oily! Having brought the pressure in the pneumatic system up to the required indicators, we set off, rejoicing that the quality of the Kama trucks has increased significantly.

We got to the gas station using only the upper row of the divider. Leaving the gas station was not very convenient, and we had to move to the bottom row of the divider. And here the problems began.

Neither disengaging the clutch nor changing the timing helped - the car stands rooted to the spot. Five minutes were conjuring with the divider switch and the clutch pedal. Finally, with what already attempts, it was possible to engage a lower gear. So much for the improved quality!

The empty KamAZ left a pleasant impression on the highway. The engine did not bother with noise, it is quite possible to talk with the passenger in an undertone. I liked the dynamics of the truck, the climbs are overcome imperceptibly. Some inconvenience is caused by vibration. However, there were no expectations of a change for the better in this matter, since the cab mounts, front suspension and seats, on which the vibration level depends, remained unchanged.

Note that the test drive was carried out in early spring, and the presence of wet snow could not but affect both the average speed and the fuel consumption. On a dry road, fuel consumption will undoubtedly be lower.

In a word, on the highway, we did not have any serious complaints about an unloaded car, we used only overdrive when driving.

On the dynamometer, we immediately felt the wet asphalt under the wheels and the absence of snow cover. Here, the fuel consumption parameters at certain speeds turned out to be comparable to the summer one. We managed to accelerate to 103.7 km / h on a truck, which is very good for a truck intended for intercity transportation. It should be noted that the power unit, after warming up, maintains optimal thermal conditions, and does not cool down when operating on low speeds, which is typical of Yaroslavl diesel engines.

Having finished the test drive of the empty truck, we loaded the maximum 11 tons for this model.

On the track simulating a city road, we immediately felt an increase in the car's weight. When overcoming hills and acceleration, it became necessary to turn on the divider. When the pedal was depressed for up to 1.5 seconds, the clutch was engaged without any problems, however, on uphills, there was a need to halve this time.

The average speed while driving on the route decreased by only 1 km / h, which indicates that there is sufficient traction for towing a trailer. However, due to the lack of a trailer, we were not able to test KamAZ as part of a road train.

Having finished with the imitation of city traffic, we head to the dynamometer road. Here the speed decreased slightly and the fuel consumption indicators increased. According to these indicators, comparison with foreign counterparts is not in favor of our KamAZ. If a Scania with a 310 horsepower engine with an empty semi-trailer at 80 km / h consumes about 27 liters per 100 km. way, then KamAZ without a trailer "drinks" more than 30 liters.

Of course, the difference is significant, but KamAZ benefits from a lower price. In most cases, it is due to the significantly lower cost russian consumers and make a choice in favor of KamAZ.

Nevertheless, the situation may change over time, and Chelny car manufacturers should not relax. Today's KamAZ trucks no longer have the number of imperfections that buyers had to deal with several years ago.

However, the work on improving the quality that has been done to date is only the first step towards creating cars that meet world standards. Kamaz employees should work more actively to create a new lineup, while paying serious attention to increasing the resource of manufactured vehicles.

In 2001, the Kamsky plant began production of the heavy-weight truck KamAZ-53215, which is popular not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries. It applies as a platform to:

• tanks;
• garbage trucks;
• truck cranes;
• as a flatbed tractor used in construction.

To learn more about it, consider the KAMAZ-53215 technical characteristics.

Device and system diagrams

The truck is easy to operate and has high maintainability.

Engine

The car is equipped with an eight-cylinder V-shaped injection engine. There is a turbocharging function. At 1100-1300 rpm, the torque is 912 Nm. Despite the fact that the engine is already considered old, it meets environmental standards. The emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere is minimal. Not so long ago, a modification of this model came out with an engine power of 320 hp.

With the help of it, the car smoothly and confidently overcomes broken road sections and places with mixed terrain. The model was released in limited quantity.

Transmission

The reinforced gearbox is equipped with a demultiplier-divider. It is he who allows you to operate the truck in harsh conditions. The demultiplier also reduces engine wear, increases engine reserve and ensures smooth and comfortable driving. The clutch is frictional, two-disc, dry type. It is started by means of a hydraulic drive with a pneumatic booster.

Electrical equipment

The electrical system includes two rechargeable batteries high capacity, each 12 volts. The generator set delivers a voltage of 2000 W.

Figure 1 - KamAZ wiring diagram

The electrical wiring is equipped with several multi-ton units at the same time:

• complete power supply system;
• starting the motor;
• outdoor and indoor lighting;
• ventilation, heating, glass cleaning;
• control and measuring electrical devices.

Brake system

The braking device is equipped with a pneumatic drive. The diameter of the drums is 4 cm, the width of the linings is 14 cm.

Figure 2 - KamAZ braking scheme

The cooling system is a closed system. The liquid circulates forcibly.

Figure 3 - Engine cooling system

Cabin

The cab occupies the front of the machine above the power unit. Designed for three people. The roof can be either high or low, the driver's seat is sprung, adjustable. Depending on the modification, it can be with or without a berth.

You can often hear remarks about the versatility of KamAZ-53215 and these are not empty words. Due to the fact that the machine (depending on the modification) is produced with different frame lengths, it is used in various sectors of the national economy. In addition to a flatbed truck, you can often see tank trucks, garbage trucks, truck cranes, grain trucks, fire trucks, agricultural dump trucks based on the KamAZ-53215 chassis. In total, the Kama plant produces sixteen vehicle modifications.

The history of the model begins in 2001, and its production continues to this day, which once again speaks of the reliability, popularity and demand for the truck.

Exterior and interior of KamAZ-53215

The appearance of KamAZ-53215 does not differ significantly from the cars produced by the Kama Automobile Plant in the late 90s - early 2000s. By its design, it is a three-axle frame chassis with two driving axles (wheel arrangement six by four) and a front cab. In the early years of production, the car was equipped with an old type of cab with a metal bumper, windshield separated by moldings, and standard doors. After the modernization, the truck cabin received more streamlined lines, one-piece windshield and fog lights at basic configuration.

A comfortable step leads to the car's interior; here we find three comfortable chairs with several adjustment mechanisms on all planes. The sleeping bag is installed as an option, but the power steering is available on all cars. The debut car models were produced without a hydraulic cab lift, which is a major drawback of this model. The cabin has high-quality sound insulation, but many drivers complain of excessive vibration, especially this drawback is noticeable when driving without load. One-section dashboard looks outdated, but provides enough information to safely operate the vehicle.

On the automaker's website, prices for new KamAZ-53215 start at 2,694,000 rubles, for this money you can purchase a chassis in the basic configuration. Flatbed truck can be purchased at a price of 2,930,000 rubles, a farmer costs 3,300,000 rubles. There are enough offers on the network for the sale of used cars of this model. For a car produced in 2004-2007, they ask for from 900,000 to 1,250,000 rubles.

Overall dimensions and weight characteristics of KamAZ-53215

Below are the specifications for the base model:

• Length: 8,040 millimeters;

Engine and fuel consumption KamAZ-53215

In the basic configuration, the car was equipped for a long time diesel engine KamAZ-740.31-240. This V-8 engine has a displacement of 10.86 liters and at rotational speed crankshaft 2 200 rpm, develops a rated power of 240 horse power... The engine is equipped with two turbochargers and a forced charge air intercooling system. In terms of environmental parameters, this turbodiesel complies with the Euro 2 international standard.

In line power unitsequipped with KamAZ-53215 vehicles, an important place is occupied by the four-stroke KamAZ 740.30-260 (Euro 2) engine. The engine is equipped with a gas turbine with two SCHWITZER turbochargers and a charge air cooling system. Structurally, it is an eight-cylinder turbodiesel with a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders (camber angle - 90 0) and a working volume of 10.86 liters. At a crankshaft rotation speed of 2,200 rpm, the motor develops 260 horsepower. KamAZ 740.30-260 is completed fuel systemwhich is equipped with fuel pump high pressure (HPP) YAZDA 337-20 or 0 402 648 611 BOSCH. This combination ensures complete combustion of fuel and reduction of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

There were attempts to equip the KamAZ-53215 with a 320-horsepower engine, but this engine did not receive mass distribution and it is quite rare on the market.

Considering the power and displacement of the engines, KamAZ-53215 boasts a relatively low fuel consumption. In summer, a car (when driving on a paved road) consumes about 26.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers at a speed of up to 60 km / h. In winter, this figure increases by 2-3 liters. Depending on the configuration and purpose, the truck can be completed with fuel tank, with a volume of 350 or 500 liters.

Transmission and power supply system KamAZ-53215

The traction force from the motor is transmitted using mechanical box KAMAZ 152 gearboxes. This ten-speed gearbox consists of a reducer-divider and a five-speed main box, which in total gives 10 forward and two reverse speeds. Lubrication of most of the gearbox parts is carried out by the spray method, only the gears of the gearbox and the divider are lubricated using an oil blower. Gear shifting is carried out remotely using a swinging lever.

The interaction of the motor and the gearbox is carried out using a dry single-plate clutch with a hydraulic drive and a pneumatic booster. The vehicle's transmission is highly reliable, maintainable and provides acceptable acceleration dynamics both when driving in urban conditions and on highways.

The truck is equipped with a single line electrical circuit with a voltage of 24 volts. All electrical appliances and wiring diagrams of KamAZ-53215 are powered by two 12-volt acid-alkaline batteries with a total capacity of 380 A / hour. Also, the car is equipped with a 28-volt generator, 2 kilowatts and a voltage inverter.

Brakes and suspension KamAZ-53215

Like all heavy vehicles of the Kamsky plant, KamAZ-53215 is equipped with four brake systems: main, parking, backup, auxiliary. Also, the car is equipped with an emergency release system. The main brake is pneumatic, drum type, with a drum diameter of 400 mm and a brake pad width of 140 mm, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe brake pad is 6,300 cm 3.

All the main components and assemblies of the car are mounted on a riveted longitudinal frame, reinforced with two strong spars on the cross beams. Front and rear bogies are equipped with stabilizers lateral stabilityto protect the machine from heavy roll or overturning. The front suspension is designed on two springs, which provide a smooth ride in conjunction with telescopic shock absorbers. Rear suspension has a similar design, however it is reinforced with additional springs.

Overview of the grain carrier KamAZ-53215:

What they write on the forums: reviews of the owners and drivers of KamAZ-53215

Sergey Ogurtsov, 41 years old, Nizhny Novgorod region:

He moved to KamAZ-53215 in 2014, before that he worked on another KamAZ model. The difference immediately caught my eye. First of all, I was pleased with the power steering (GUR), it works in a completely different way, I am more comfortable and safer with it. The car runs smoothly along the road, and vibration does not annoy the cabin. However, the car wagged for a while, looked closely - and I had cheap Chinese tires on the front end. I changed and the car on the road feels like a tank, either with a trailer or without.
