KAMAZ-6350 truck tractor: design features, specifications

Kama Automobile Plant is famous for its trucks. Machines, descended from the conveyor, found their application in virtually all sectors of both civil and military industries. One of the most popular is the KamAZ-6350, known as the "Mustang".

Multipurpose machine

KamAZ-6350 Mustang is used to transport personnel, as well as accompanying cargoes and towing large trailers in almost all types of terrain, including where there is not even anything like a road, and only direction remains.

This is one of those cars that appear in many technical documents as chassis cars. This underlines that this version can be used as a basis for many narrow and specialized vehicles. What makes it possible to install various types of superstructures on the KamAZ-6350 chassis, thereby making it a car for both civil and military use. The main direction is the use in the army. To do this, the machine was originally created. The unified tractor is literally designed to overcome various kinds of difficulties and obstacles. The temperature range in which it is possible to operate KamAZ-6350 varies from -45 to +40 degrees inclusive. The wheel formula is 8 by 8, which makes it almost indispensable for military service.

The Mustang brand is able to work under any conditions, with almost no failures and interruptions. This family has not received much popularity in civil engineering because of the fact that the engineers considered it not entirely rational. What contributed to the number of technical data of the machine.

Features

The main differences between the KamAZ-6350 machine are the increased payload capacity, as well as the rather large frame length of the vehicle. Everything is aimed at providing the possibility of installing additional modules and other specialized add-ins. Completely new solutions, as well as various design findings have influenced the creation of the final result. As a result, a truck with a certain superiority both in the price range and in maintainability has turned out. All thanks to the excellent interchangeability of parts with other brands of vehicles from KamAZ.

Due to the very wide specialization of the KamAZ-6350 in each variant the chassis is created individually, depending on the conditions and requirements imposed by the customer. As a result, there is an opportunity to get a car that is most suitable for solving a given task. Thanks to this capability, the customer receives maximum functionality at a relatively low cost relative to other domestic trucks.

Cabin

The manufacturer has provided several options for the manufacture of the cabin. The buyer is offered many improvements at once. If necessary, you can install an extra bed for long-distance trips. In this case, you need a tachograph in order to keep track of the drivers. If the schedule is overloaded or the schedule is not observed, attention is reduced and as a result, all participants in the traffic are endangered. Installed directly under the cab in this model is the engine. KamAZ-6350 is therefore equipped with an autonomous heater is very simple. In this case, the heat from the motor is fed through the filter system into the interior. From the driving comforts one can note an additional installation of the anatomical seat, which can be adjusted individually for each. In addition to a comfortable seat, a large panoramic windscreen with increased visibility, it is possible to install any modules at the request of the customer.

Fuel system

In addition to all the options aimed at providing convenience in driving, it is possible to install a shockproof tank. This will allow you to move around a rough and rocky terrain, without fearing that the fuel tank will be damaged or broken. Typically, it is possible to install a volume of 375 liters, or two to 210. In special cases, a 500-liter tank is being developed. Together with this, a heating system for the pump used for the collection of combustible material is installed, which will ensure easy start-up even in the harshest winters. The presence of a heater prevents the appearance of paraffin plugs in the fuel line, and also ensures the normal operation of the filters.

Motor

The engine installed on KamAZ-6350 is exactly the same as on other similar models of the manufacturer. The model is KamAZ-740.50-360. It is a V-shaped, 8-cylinder unit that operates on diesel fuel material. The presence of a turbocharger significantly increases the output power in comparison with atmospheric structures. This engine is able to boast of 360 forces with a volume of 11.76 liters. This power is achieved with a torque of 1470 Nm.

The KamAZ engine is paired with a mechanical transmission. The model of transmission ZF 16S1820 is installed. It has 16 gears, providing forward motion, and one - back.

Army version

The military loved the new KamAZ-6350. Specifications fully met all requirements. When creating the military variant, a number of changes were introduced, among which - the improvement of the transmission. This was necessary because the main requirement of the military was the ability to navigate off-road at a speed of more than 40 km / h. The standard truck with its mechanical gearbox was not able to cope with the task. That is why the KamAZ-6350 "Mustang" was installed a new transmission, with a range of hydrotransmission. This design consisted of a torque converter, which was installed together with a mechanical transmission. When a certain speed is reached, this transformer is blocked, turning into a rigid shaft. During the implementation of such variations, the oil was completely pumped out in order to bring the power losses to zero.

An important property, thanks to which the band-wise hydrotransmission began to be used, was a very large coefficient of transformation. On a military car, it was 2.8. Due to this, the torque for working at a low speed increased significantly.

Availability

To perform certain tasks related to the movement of goods, you can buy KamAZ-6350. Its price varies depending on the availability of additional modules and technical specifications. On average, a new truck will cost 3-5 million rubles, depending on the availability of additional models. You can find a used airborne tractor, its price will be on average from one and a half to two million. For off-road lovers a military variant with additional hydrotransmission is offered, but its price is much higher and for the average configuration will amount to 5 to 7 million rubles.
