At the end of the 80s, the USSR army ordered the plant in Naberezhnye Chelny to develop a new, more powerful alternative to the then existing models 4350 and 5350. A couple of years later, the project was created, but the events of August 1991, which took place in Moscow, made us forget about drawings.
As a result, the first prototypes were presented 4 years later. The finalization of individual functions further delayed the deadline, and the Russian Air Force received the KamAZ-6350 only in 2002. The series continues to be released.
Purpose of KamAZ 6350
Kamaz 6350 is an all-wheel drive military flatbed tractor. Manufacturer: Kama Automobile Plant. A car with a huge number of advantages that distinguish it from its smaller counterparts. It has a multi-purpose purpose and is used not only in the military, but also in the civilian sector.

Modifications
This truck has several main modified versions, including:
KamAZ-6450.
It is a truck tractor, mass production of which began in 2003. The model is capable of transporting any cargo on trailers with a total weight of up to 32,000 kilograms. From the factory, the modification is equipped with only one fuel tank, but owners replace it with an enlarged one and install another additional one, which together provides a range of 1,400 kilometers;
KamAZ-6350
with hydromechanical transmission. Unlike the base model, there is an 8-speed gearbox with electronic-hydraulic control. Gear changes are carried out automatically, which is very convenient. In addition, the new transmission made it possible to increase the truck's maneuverability in harsh road conditions. All other nodes were completely inherited from the base model;
"Bear".
This modification uses the standard KamAZ-63501 chassis as a basis. The model is capable of transporting super-heavy artillery units. In principle, this is its main purpose. The eight-cylinder V-shaped power unit was modernized, the maximum power of which was increased to 360 horsepower. However, this did not affect the maximum speed of movement. An all-metal cabin with two seats and a special residential module are installed, which can accommodate up to 6 people. This modification has been in military service since 2009. During all this time, the Kama Automobile Plant produced more than 200 such cars.
Specifications
Technical and technical characteristics (TTX) of KamAZ 6350:
- fuel consumption: up to 30 liters per 100 km.
- engine KamAZ-740.50-360 (Euro 2);
- engine power: 360 hp;
- drum brake system on all wheels;
- F&S clutch, has pneumatic reinforcement and hydraulic drive, 16-speed;
- vehicle parameters: weight - 22100 kg, length - width - height - ;
- fuel tank 375 l;
- speed 95 km/h.
Before operating the 6350 tractor, we recommend that you read the operating instructions for the engine and the vehicle itself. Experienced drivers advise paying special attention to the design of the gearbox.
Design and purpose of the machine
The car is a classic tractor, on which you can install military and civilian bodies or use it with a trailer. Standard cabover configuration, hydraulic lift that tilts the cab forward for access to the engine (a part borrowed from the 6460, which appeared in almost the same years). Another seat is mounted next to the driver's seat.
Having become a more powerful alternative, KamAZ has 4 axles and all-wheel drive (8x8). From other models of the plant, it also received a differential transfer case. Each bridge has a two-stage gearbox. At the same time, the front ones regulate the angular speed for each wheel. The rear pair controls the axle differential locking. The insulation of the main components increased the tightness, making it possible to easily overcome water obstacles with a depth of more than 1.5 m.
Thanks to reinforced wheels, the SUV is able to move over walls up to 60 cm high or climb uphill with a slope of up to 31°. When working in a road train, the weight limit should not exceed 38 tons. According to user reviews, exceeding it leads to failure of the transmission. The 16-speed gearbox (installed on the latest versions) is not intended for such work - half of the gears slip, the second works crookedly.
Despite being equipped with improved driveshafts, an innovative clutch and reinforced armor for the driver's cabin (in the latest developments), the complex technical device does not allow for repairs in the field, which limits the use of this artillery tractor.
What does the cabin and electrical circuit of the Kamaz 6350 look like?
The KamAZ 6350 cab is of a high type, with good visibility. It is possible to order anatomical seats. There is cabin heating, a ventilation system, sound insulation and dust insulation. On military models there is a hatch in the roof. Can be equipped with a tool box and tachograph. There is no sleeping place. The visibility thanks to the panoramic glass is very good. Standard adjustment of seats and steering wheel to suit the height of the driver and passenger. Convenient step for jumping into the cabin.
Price
The cost of a KamAZ-6350 truck with zero mileage starts at 7.8 million rubles. Depending on the modification and additional equipment, the price tag can increase significantly.
There are few used copies on the secondary market. Trucks currently available cost from 5.5 million to 8 million rubles, depending on the year of manufacture, type of modification, installed superstructure, technical condition, and mileage.

Loading platform
The basic version of the KamAZ-6350 is equipped with a metal cargo platform with folding rear and side sides. Additionally, an awning frame and folding benches are installed on the platform to allow passengers to be transported. The design of such a platform has a length of 6650 millimeters and a width of 2470 millimeters. The height of the sides is 750 millimeters.
In addition, the truck can use other types of superstructures. This could be weapons, various mobile modules and much more. It all depends on the scope and purpose of the car.
Description of the vehicle
KamAZ-6350 is a 4-axle frame-type truck. Its engine is located in front, above it there is a cabin, which is not very comfortable inside. Inside the cabin there are 2 or 3 car seats, a sleeping place is optional. The instrument panel material is metal. This part is not very informative and not particularly ergonomic.
The roof of the army truck has a round hatch. The cabin itself has hidden armor. It is also possible to install bulletproof glass here. The automaker has provided the ability to install an autonomous fan and heater. Air conditioning cannot be installed in this vehicle.
How much money and fuel does KAMAZ consume?
There is a need to transport approximately 25-30 cubic meters of timber, round timber, (20-25 tons) weekly, over a distance of an average of 800 km (400 there empty and 400 back with a load), plus transport lumber around the city. Nowadays, for these purposes, one usually hires a Kamaz (a dump truck with a trailer, carrying 25-28 cubic meters of round timber) or a French truck (carrying 30-35 cubic meters), the money paid for this, to put it mildly, is more than one would like. We are thinking whether it would be worth acquiring our own transport for these purposes, while a used Kamaz looks very attractive for the money. The question is how much money it will cost to operate it - fuel, spare parts/repairs, maintenance, etc. and so on. In addition to transportation, the vehicle is planned to be used for loading/unloading, for which we are planning to install a three-ton crane installation on it.
Approximate monthly mileage (50% empty, 50% loaded): highway (roundwood 20 tons) -3500 km city (timber 7-10 tons) -500 km I’m interested in what fuel consumption the car will have during such work and how much maintenance will cost approximately . I can immediately say that now at least 80 thousand rubles a month are spent on all this (including the earnings of car drivers, of course). If anyone has experience, please share.

In Vladik and Kamazda? Do you have a crisis there with reliable Japanese cars? You will only work for spare parts. It’s better to dig up and take Yapa. And the Kamaz with dump axles my drivers (with their own KamAZs) eats 50-55 liters in the city + they constantly break down. And the quality of the parts sucks

Cabin
The automaker has allowed a number of cabin options. The buyer has many upgrades to choose from. Can be installed as an additional sleeping area for long trips over long distances.
In this case, you will need a tachograph that allows you to track the driver’s work. In case of overload or violation of the schedule, attentiveness deteriorates, as a result of which each participant in the movement is exposed to danger.
The motor is installed directly under the cabin. Because of this, equipping this model with an autonomous type heater is an extremely simple task. In this case, the heat from the engine goes through the filters into the cabin.
Driving conveniences include the additional installation of an anatomical car seat with the possibility of individual customization. In addition to the convenience of a landing spot and a large windshield with increased visibility, any modules can be installed.
How to separate brake pads on a Kamaz
Technical service of brake devices and brake pneumatic drive Kamaz
Technical service of brake mechanisms consists of lubricating the adjusting levers and bushings of the expansion cam shafts; in regulating the strokes of the brake chamber rods and securing the brake chambers and their fastenings; in checking the condition of brake drums, pads, linings, tension springs and expansion knuckles (with the hubs removed).
Important Repair of important components of Belarusian super-heavy mining dump trucks BelAZ
The adjusting levers of the brake mechanisms are lubricated through grease fittings until the freshest grease is squeezed out.
The expansion knuckle shaft bushings are also lubricated through grease nipples, but in all this it should be understood that the amount of lubricant should be moderate (less than 5 strokes when lubricating with a manual syringe), because excess lubricant can get into the brake mechanism.
The stroke of the brake chamber rods is adjusted with cool brake drums and nominal air pressure in the brake pneumatic drive. The parking brake must be turned off.
Mark the location of the extreme point of the rod to move the pads to the thread.
The work is carried out by 2 performers, one of whom must be in the vehicle cabin.
Determine the stroke of the rods with a ruler, installing it parallel to the rod and resting its end against the brake chamber body. Mark the location of the last point of the rod on the ruler scale, press the brake pedal all the way and again mark the location of the same point of the rod on the scale. The difference in the obtained results gives the value of the stroke of the rod.
If the stroke of the rod exceeds 40 mm, it is necessary to loosen the locking bolt and, by rotating the worm axis of the adjusting lever, move the shoes apart until they come into contact with the brake drum, i.e., you need to turn the worm axis until it stops. .
How can I properly space the brake pads and properly adjust the brakes? After which you should bring the pads together by turning the worm axis half a turn in the opposite direction (2.
3 clicks of the lock), thereby ensuring a smaller stroke of the rods, which should be equal to 20 mm for KamAZ-4310, -43105, -5320, -5410 and -55102 vehicles: for KamAZ-5511, -53212 and -54112 vehicles it is 25 mm on the intermediate and rear axles and 20 mm on the front.
It is necessary that the rods of the right and left chambers on each bridge have equal stroke (permissible difference less than 2.3 mm) to obtain similar braking efficiency of the right and left wheels.
After checking that the adjustment is correct, tighten the adjusting lever lock bolt.
Inspection of the brake devices reveals the need to replace certain parts.
In all this, it is taken into account that wear of the working surface of the brake drum is allowed less than 1 mm; chips, cracks, and chipping of the brake friction linings are unacceptable; their wear must correspond to the value at which more than 0.5 mm remains to the rivet heads.
If you need to change one of the left or right brake linings, change all the linings on both brake mechanisms (left and right wheels).
After replacing the brake linings, the brake mechanism is fully adjusted.
To do this, loosen the nuts securing the pad axes and bring the eccentrics closer together, turning the pad axes so that they are positioned towards each other with the beveled sides of their outer ends, then by turning the axis of the worm of the adjusting lever, press the brake pads to the drum, after which, turning the eccentric axes to one or the other sides, install the pads, ensuring they fit snugly to the drum. how to separate the brake pads on a Kamaz truck photo. The fit of the pads is inspected with a 0.1 mm wide feeler gauge, which should not extend anywhere along the entire width of the pad. How to replace the front brake discs on a VAZ 2114. With this position of the pads, tighten the axle nuts and set the brake chamber rod to a small stroke.

Device
In comparison with other vehicles of the Kama Automobile Plant, KamAZ-43118 has a number of changes in the design of the platform. The developers have noticeably lengthened it, bringing it as close as possible to the cockpit. Because of this, the spare wheel had to be installed under the frame at the rear. The buyer can choose two types of platforms - with an awning or open.
KamAZ-43118 is equipped with a modernized chassis, which can be used as a base for installing equipment: a tank truck, a truck crane and a dump body. Quite often, a hydraulic manipulator is mounted on a truck, placing it both at the end of the platform and immediately behind the cab. Also popular are timber and log carriers based on KamAZ-43118, which confidently move over rough terrain and difficult forest areas due to their increased cross-country ability. The manipulator allows you to replace the loader, reducing the cost of additional machines.
KamAZ-43118 is developed on the basis of an all-terrain frame platform with spring rear and front suspension and has a six-by-six wheel arrangement. All wheels are equipped with pneumatic drum brakes. An RBL element with the latest hydraulic booster is used as steering control.
The tractor is equipped with a 28-volt generator (2000 W), two standard 190 Ah batteries and a steering column adjustable in two directions.
The KamAZ-43118 cab has a soft seat with air suspension and mechanical adjustment. Optionally, the truck is equipped with an armrest, air conditioning, power take-off, heated driver's seat, power windows and a standard CD radio.
The frame of the car's cabin remains the same, but its external design has noticeably improved. The radiator grille was modernized, modified rear-view mirrors, a streamlined molded bumper, designed in the color of the cabin, and integrated side fairings appeared. The developers did not forget about optics, mounting the turn signal, dimensions and headlight in a single unit. The one-piece windshield significantly increased the driver's visibility. By installing three wiper blades, the glass cleaning area was increased.
Internal changes turned out to be not so global. The key was the transformation of the dashboard, which received an anti-reflective coating. The quality of interior elements and materials has noticeably improved. Some modifications of KamAZ-43118 have a sleeping place. However, the classic version of the car is positioned as a truck for medium and short-range travel. At the same time, even in the basic configuration a soft mattress appeared. Thanks to the use of the latest cladding materials, a modified air duct system and a powerful heater, the cabin has become more heat and noise resistant.

Brakes KamAZ-63501. Car electrical equipment
The KamAZ-63501 vehicle is equipped with four autonomous braking systems: a working system controlled by a pedal on the front panel of the truck cab, a spare system (connected to the parking one) and an auxiliary one. Brake type: pneumatic. The total area of the brake linings is 8400 cm2. Brake lining width – 140 millimeters; drum diameter – 400 millimeters. The car is also equipped with an anti-lock brake system.
The electrical equipment of the KamAZ-63501 truck includes two batteries x 12 Volt / 190 Ampere-hour; generator 28 Volt / 3000 Watt. The on-board network voltage is 24 Volts.
Reactivation and first start of a truck engine
A new car must undergo a depreservation procedure. To do this, you should perform the following manipulations with the car:
- Remove all seals that are on the car. They will be on doors, windows, handles, ventilation hatches and similar parts that tend to open;
- All metal parts of the car must be cleaned of preservative grease. For washing you need to use a special liquid. It is not recommended to remove preservation grease using gasoline;
- The protective film that covers the dashboard, glass elements and all other surfaces that are easily damaged is removed;
- Electrolyte is poured into the battery, after which the battery is charged to maximum.
Before starting the engine for the first time, you need to carry out the following manipulations:
- Check and prepare all electrical circuits of the car for operation;
- Check all vehicle engine systems for leaks of fuel and various technical fluids. In the case of technical fluids, it is necessary to ensure their availability and compliance with the required level;
- Check the wheel fastenings, make sure their pressure complies with the standards;
- Check the condition and functionality of the steering and brake systems.
If checking the condition of the main components of the car reveals serious malfunctions that cannot be eliminated on your own in a short time (for example, add technical fluids, tighten fasteners or inflate tires), you should refuse to start the engine and call a representative of the warranty center for inspection and troubleshooting . It is strictly prohibited to operate a damaged vehicle.
The car maintenance manual includes recommendations for timely replacement of filters and technical fluids of the car, constant pre-trip visual inspection, and so on. Driving a KamAZ-53501 vehicle can only begin when the air pressure in the brake system reaches its operating value. It is forbidden to disconnect the car battery while the engine is running, or to turn on the transfer case while the engine shaft is rotating. If the sensors on the panel indicate a malfunction in any vehicle system, you must immediately stop driving and find out the cause.
The KamAZ-53501 vehicle is a modern, powerful and reliable example of what an all-terrain military truck should be. Many modifications allow it to be used not only for transporting personnel. Armored versions can also successfully participate in combat operations.
