KamAZ 53215 is considered one of the most popular vehicles in the large truck segment. High-quality assembly and relatively low cost make it indispensable in many areas. The machine is used in construction, mining, transportation inside various objects and in other directions.

The production of the KamAZ 53215 model started in 2001 and continues at the present time. The chassis is used to create special equipment used in various directions (tank trucks, on-board vehicle with a manipulator crane, garbage truck, vacuum truck, van). Depending on the modification, the car has a different frame length, gear ratio of the gearbox. Optionally, the truck is equipped with a berth. Special equipment based on the KamAZ 53215 chassis is an excellent alternative to foreign heavy-duty vehicles.

The most popular modifications were KamAZ 53215, made in the form of an onboard truck. The large carrying capacity of the vehicle allows you to transport heavy and bulky goods.

In total, the Kamsky Automobile Plant produces 16 complete sets of this model. They differ in engine volume, fuel tank size, BOSCH injection pump and wheel diameter.

KamAZ 53215 has a time-tested design that is optimal for use in Russian conditions. With a relatively low fuel consumption, the truck has a high cross-country ability.

Specifications

When loaded, the mass of the KamAZ 53215 model is 19355 kg. The machine is often used as a road train. In this case, the total weight can reach 33355 kg. The empty vehicle weighs 8355 kg. The load on the front axle is 3625 kg, on the rear - 4720 kg. The carrying capacity of the equipment is 11,000 kg.

Overall characteristics of the KamAZ 53215 model:

• length - 6100 mm;
• height - 2890 mm;
• width - 2320 mm;
• ground clearance - 290 mm;
• rear wheel track - 1890 mm;
• front wheel track - 2050 mm;
• external overall turning radius - 9800 mm;
• the distance between the middle and rear axle is 1320 mm;
• the distance between the front and middle axle is 3690 mm.

Due to its impressive dimensions, this model has found wide application in construction, since it allowed transporting a large amount of building materials at one time.

KamAZ 53215 has a six-by-four wheel arrangement. With a fairly large mass, the car is capable of picking up a decent speed - up to 105 km / h. The climbing angle is 25%.

Fuel consumption

The fuel tank of the car, depending on the configuration, can hold 500 or 350 liters of fuel. The fuel consumption of KamAZ 53215 in the summer is 24.5 l / 100 km, in the winter - 27 l.

Engine

The KamAZ 53215 truck is equipped with two types of power plants.

The KamAZ-740.31 motor meets the Euro-2 requirements. This engine is characterized by high tractive effort. The diesel unit has a turbocharger and a charge flow cooling system. Currently, the KamAZ-740.31 engine is considered obsolete. Nevertheless, it is classified as environmentally friendly, since the volumes of harmful substances that enter the atmosphere during its operation are minimal.

Characteristics of the KamAZ-740.31 unit:

• working volume - 10.8 liters;
• rated power - 240 hp;
• average speed - 2200 rpm;
• number of cylinders - 8;
• maximum torque - 909 Nm;
• compression ratio - 17.

KamAZ-740.30 is similar in many respects to the KamAZ-740.31 version. However, this engine has a lot of power (260 hp).

A distinctive feature of these engines is a large allowable roll:

1. maximum lateral roll - 10 degrees;
2. maximum longitudinal roll - 20 degrees.

Due to this, this truck can overcome problem areas of roads with uneven terrain.

Also, the engines have a long service life. The oil is changed every 16,000 km. With large temperature differences and constant dampness, the oil must be changed more often.

Several years ago, the Kamsky Automobile Plant carried out a restyling of the KamAZ 53215 model. The key innovation was an improved power plant with a capacity of 320 hp. However, this version went into a limited edition and is now rarely found on the roads.

Device

The chassis of the truck was developed a long time ago, but it has not lost its relevance even now. The base frame is made of high strength steel, which is extremely resistant to corrosion. It allows you to support the weight of additional equipment and transported goods. The truck can be equipped with a platform with sides. This modification is in great demand in construction.

The brake system of the truck is quite impressive in size. Such a performance is quite justified, since the model, due to its considerable mass, has great inertia. The brake system includes the following components:

• air driven actuator;
• brake linings with a width of 140 mm;
• brake drums with a diameter of 400 mm.

The cab of the KamAZ 53215 model is located above the engine and looks quite compact. It is very comfortable and spacious and has a high roof. For the convenience of the driver, several seat settings are provided. Three adults can fit inside the cab together with the driver. Some modifications have a berth that allows you to comfortably carry out long trips. If necessary, you will have to raise the cab on your own, since in most versions of KamAZ 53215, a specialized hydraulic drive is not provided.

The suspension of the model has not undergone major changes in comparison with its predecessor. There is a noticeable vibration when the car is moving, but the engine runs quite quietly, allowing you to talk freely in the cab.

KamAZ 53215 is equipped with six four-wheel drive wheels. They are made of high-strength metal and, if necessary, are balanced and repaired quite simply. The tires are used pneumatic with the size 10R20.

In the KAMAZ 53215 car, an exclusively mechanical transmission with a demultiplier-divider is used. The transmission of this model has been specially designed for heavy duty work. In fact, the technique is equipped with two PACs. The gearbox is located between the clutch and the main gearbox. Switching to it is carried out in special cases (when there is not enough rpm for the third gear, and it is already difficult for the power plant to work in the second). The main gearbox includes 10 gears. The demultiplier allows to reduce the wear of the power plant, increasing its resource and control comfort.

The truck is equipped with a single-plate diaphragm clutch, which is driven by a hydraulic drive with a pneumatic booster. Some versions use a non-wet friction clutch with two working discs.

Currently, KamAZ 53215 is considered one of the most common trucks, due to the ease of repair and the low price of the car. According to some characteristics, it is inferior to foreign competitors, but the difference in cost makes up for these moments.

Price new and used

The price tag for the new KamAZ 53215 in the basic version starts at 1.9 million rubles. Versions with add-ons will cost 300-700 thousand rubles more.

There are also many used variants of the KamAZ 53215 model on the market. The cost of the 2012-2013 models with superstructures varies from 1.7 to 2.1 million rubles.

An hour of renting a truck will cost 1200-1500 rubles.

Analogs

There are not so many cars among the competitors of the KamAZ 53215 model. The main equipment is KamAZ 5320.

The Kama Automobile Plant has been a leader in the domestic automotive industry for over forty years. Not only Soviet engineers were involved in its design, but also American, French and German firms. More than seven hundred companies from Europe, the USA, Canada and Japan took part in the construction and equipping of the enterprise. Currently, the public joint stock company "KamAZ" includes more than eight dozen enterprises and organizations located in Russia, as well as in the near and far abroad. KAMAZ trucks have always been distinguished by their reliability, excellent driving characteristics, modern technical parameters and low operating costs. Today PJSC "KamAZ" holds a leading position in the supply of heavy trucks to the Russian market. In addition, export deliveries are carried out all over the world. The assembly of vehicles with the KAMAZ logo and the image of an argamak on the hood is carried out on assembly lines in Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and India. The products meet all international quality and safety standards. In the design of modern cars, components from well-known world manufacturers of automotive equipment are used. Among them are BOSCH, ZF, Grammer, Palfinger AG, etc. The number of modifications of heavy-duty trucks produced by the plant exceeds fifty, and there are more than two hundred configuration options. The first vehicle that came off the assembly line of the enterprise was the KAMAZ 5320 flatbed truck. The modern flatbed truck KAMAZ 53215, the production of which was started in 2001, is currently being produced as the successor of this line.

Engine

All modifications of KAMAZ 53215 are equipped with domestic diesel engines of the 740th series. Most of the vehicles are equipped with a KAMAZ 740.31-240 power plant.

Basic parameters of KAMAZ 740.31-240

• Type - diesel, with turbocharging, intercooling of charge air;
• Number and arrangement of cylinders - 8, V-shaped;
• Working volume - 10.85 liters;
• Rated power at a crankshaft speed of 2200 rpm - 240 HP (176 kW);
• Power at maximum torque at 1400 rpm - 186 hp (137 kW);
• Torque - nominal 734 Nm, maximum 932 Nm;
• Compliance with environmental standards - Euro 2;
• Engine weight - 885 kg.

Some of the machines are equipped with more powerful power plants with a maximum power of 260 and 300 hp.

Price

On-board KAMAZ 53215 without run on the market of heavy vehicles is on average offered for 2 million 700 thousand. rub. The average price of new chassis in the basic configuration is 2 million 500 thousand rubles. Used cars for 5-7 years cost in the range of 1 million 700 thousand rubles. up to 2 million rubles. The price for cars with installed equipment largely depends on its type and technical parameters.

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, the technical characteristics of which are excellent for fulfilling the assigned tasks. 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 is a modified engine, which has become 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 equal to 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 operating parameters, as well as the modes of use, this parameter can change both up and down.

Operating conditions

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 drops, then the oil must also be changed more often.

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

The total volume of material used to lubricate all engine elements is 28 liters. At the same time, 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 motor may change.

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

Opportunities

The carrying capacity of KamAZ 53215 is as much as 11 tons. In addition, thanks to the powerful V-shaped engine, 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 additional working equipment: a container, a truck crane, a 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 still relevant today. 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 the large weight of 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 - 4.7 tons.

The weight of the truck with an empty body is 8.4 tons, this is without taking into account the weight of lubricants, as well as refueling fluids.

The diagram shows how all six wheels are installed. Material - high-strength steel. If 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 and looks very compact, but the interior is 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 makes it possible to travel long distances with a relative level of comfort. Cab soundproofing 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 a manual gearbox and an additional demultiplier, which 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 is 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 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 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 operate at the same time, while the voltage on each is 12 V.

Relevance

Today KamAZ is one of the most popular and most demanded vehicles of this class. There are many reasons for this, including: not very high cost; ease of repair work; 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.

KamAZ-53215 is intended for use in construction and mining, and is also used for many similar purposes. The versatility makes this model very popular.

Description and scope

The standard engine characteristics of this model are officially considered obsolete, but the model still complies with modern environmental standards, which characterizes it as the highest quality... Together, the exhaust gases from the device emit a minimum amount of harmful substances that can have a significant negative effect on the state of the atmosphere.

In the recent past, the manufacturer released a restyling of the 53215 model. The new version has changed in few parameters, but the engine design has been significantly updated. Its power has been raised to 320 liters. with., which is extremely high performance for models of this class. All devices that have such a power indicator were produced in a limited collection, so they are quite rare. About other new models -

One of the significant features of the engine is the ability to set a roll with large parameters:

• Longitudinal roll is allowed up to 20 degrees.
• The lateral arrangement cannot deviate more than 10 degrees.

Wide-profile Kamaz model

These parameters characterize KamAZ-53215 as an extremely convenient model, let us call it a wide-profile one. It is allowed to transport goods on such a machine even on problem routes, crossing them with complete safety with a strong deviation of the relief, which often makes the road inaccessible to many other types of vehicles.

The engine has a fairly large resource. The oil can be changed every 16 thousand km, but this procedure should not be done less often.

KamAZ often operates in relatively unfavorable conditions. The car travels on roads with a constant high level of dampness and is exposed to frequent changes in contrast temperatures.

If these features accompany the operation of the product constantly, then to ensure long-term engine operation, it is necessary to change the oil a little more often. When the truck is constantly operating in dry climates, you can change oil every 20 thousand km, however, at the same time, you should constantly inspect its condition.

To keep the engine running properly, 28 liters of lubricant is required. When carrying out lubrication work, it is necessary to check the operation of the jacket, since the maximum cooling rate of this structure should be no more than 95 degrees.

Various modifications of the model have a tank with a volume of 350 to 500 liters. The turning radius of the vehicle is 9.8 m, which is the minimum indicator for the relatively large dimensions of the system.

The speed of the car is equal to 105 km / h, while it is able to go quickly both in an empty state and when the body is loaded almost to the maximum possible volume.

The fuel consumption of KamAZ-53215 has average parameters (like the model):

• In summer, 24.5 liters per 100 km.
• With the onset of cold weather 27 liters per 100 km, in rare cases this figure is slightly higher than the specified one.

The power plant of the machine allows place in the unit up to 11 tons of cargo... At the same time, a trailer with a weight of up to 10 tons can be attached to this structure.

General characteristics

There are general parameters that are relevant for all configurations of KamAZ-53215. Of particular note are the chassis of the truck. Their the design was developed a long time ago, while it still has not lost its relevance.

The supporting frame is highly reliable, as it is completely made of impact-resistant steel, which is protected against corrosion. With the help of this installation, additional equipment can be attached to the structure, while it is guaranteed that a large mass of loaded elements can be sustained, which can be traced even in the photo of the truck.

KamAZ-53215 has 6 wheels, 4 of them are leading. They are all made from durable metal. Their device is designed so that, if it is necessary to carry out repair work or balancing, all the necessary actions are performed without the need for complex dismantling work or even replacing some equipment.

Pneumatic tires are used. Cameras are used in the design, however, there are modifications that are not equipped with these elements. The rubber has standard parameters 10R20. The flatbed truck is designed using a special platform with high edges.

This design is carried out in a certain size:

• Length 4 800 mm.
• Width 2 320 mm.

The brakes are presented in large dimensions, which guarantees their reliability and indicates compliance with high-power technology standards.

KamAZ, under the influence of its own weight, is prone to high rates of inertia, therefore, the large size of the brakes allows it to distinguish itself favorably among similar models.

The braking system is represented by the following elements:

• Actuator operated by the air entering the system.
• Brake drums measuring 40 cm in diameter.
• Overlays taking up 14 cm wide (cm). The total area of ​​these elements is 6,300 square meters. cm.

The KamAZ-53215 cab is mounted directly above the engine structure. Its location has been chosen so that it appears to be relatively compact. At the same time, when entering inside, the driver is immediately convinced of its comfort and the availability of sufficient space.

The cockpit is relatively high, therefore, the driver can place any items he needs under the roof. The seat is aesthetically pleasing and can be adjusted if necessary.

The cabin has a capacity of 3 adults. Some modifications include a separate berth, so they are used when it is necessary to travel long distances.

The engine runs relatively quietly. It can be heard, however, the people inside can talk calmly and at the same time perfectly hear each other's speech, which is not drowned out by the sound of the operating system.

The chassis used in the production of any configurations of this model provides for the possibility of installing add-ons that adapt to the performance of a particular KamAZ.

Clearance in the system is 29 cm, which allows the model to move freely even with poor road equipment.

The chassis is distinguished by the following parameters:

• The front wheel track is 2,050 mm.
• The track of the rear wheels is 1,890 mm.

Fuel consumption, wiring diagram, the principle of operation of the mountain brake

Fuel consumption when driving KamAZ is on average 28 l / 100 km, which is the best indicator to save on fuel, especially when driving in a dry and warm climate. The system design uses a gearbox equipped with a demultiplier, which acts as a kind of divider. The gearbox of this design was produced for use in any circumstances.

KamAZ-53215 accommodates 2 gearboxes... The spare is placed in the gap formed by the clutch with the gearbox. It is used only when needed. This applies to situations in which the correct functioning of the engine cannot be guaranteed by the standard transmission.

The main gearbox is equipped with 10 gears. The bearing axles have a gear ratio of 7.22. The design has additional gear ratios, which can be used only when the divider is turned on.

A demultiplier is present in the system to prevent too rapid wear of the engine structure. It also helps to increase its resource, improve in terms of control comfort.

The truck has single-disc clutch... The activation of this device is carried out with the participation of a hydraulic drive, the operation of which is modernized with the help of a pseudo-amplifier. There are modifications in which a clutch of a different configuration is used. It is equipped with 2 discs, but there is no oil bath in its design.

The body of KamAZ has a record size for a relatively small car as a whole. It is because of this parameter that the truck is often used in construction operations.

The spaciousness of the body allows you to quickly transport a large enough volume of materials for work.

Electrical equipment

The electrical wiring is available in a variety of configurations to suit different locations in the system:

• For the implementation of heating salty in the cold season.
• To supervise the work of a washer and glass cleaner.
• For the organization of lighting both inside the structure and from its outside.
• For instrumentation.
• To be able to quickly start the power unit.

Applicable generator with a high power of 800 W... There are varieties in which this system has a power of 2 kW, which is considered almost a record figure for machines of this size.

KamAZ-53215 has the following distinctive features:

• The standard wiring voltage is 28 V.
• The structure contains a rectifier unit.
• The system is equipped with a voltage regulator.
• The stator windings are a schematic star.

Cons and possible malfunctions

• KamAZ has large capacity indicators, the carrying capacity deserves attention, but in some cases the specified volume is not enough, which leads to the need to use larger units.
• If repair work is required in the engine structure, the master must lift the cab by himself... The machine does not come with a hydraulic drive.
• While driving, the driver and passengers notice a slight vibration.
• The speed of the machine is not record breaking, which can complicate its use for construction purposes.
• The design of the chassis does not provide for the possibility of movement of KamAZ on soils with weak soils and other potentially dangerous zones, which significantly reduces the scope of this unit.
• The design of the system is semi-automated, however, many minor repair operations and monitoring the health of the system are forced by the master or driver on their own.
