Kamaz 65115 euros 5 technical characteristics. KAMAZ platform lifting mechanism. Checking the oil level and filling the hydraulic system
"KAMAZ-65115" is one of the best-selling models of dump trucks of the Kama Automobile Plant. The dump truck, produced since 1998, became a continuation of the line of KamAZ-55111 dump trucks with a carrying capacity of 13 tons, which, in turn, were a logical continuation of the 10-ton KamAZ-5511 dump trucks. Evolution and continuity are evident. Like its predecessors, the 65115th KamAZ is a three-axle dump truck with two driven rear axles and a dual-pitch tire. Its carrying capacity is 15 tons. This is the sales leader in the construction dump truck segment. The 6x6 KamAZ-65111 all-wheel drive dump truck was built on the same base.
The main purpose of the KamAZ-65115 dump truck remains the same as its predecessors. This is transportation of all kinds of bulk cargo, mainly construction materials: sand, crushed stone, gravel, etc. When equipped with a dump platform with the possibility of three-way unloading, the dump truck is widely used in the agro-industrial complex. In particular, as a grain carrier; for transporting silage and haylage This dump truck is intended exclusively for short-distance transportation - to perform routine daily tasks on construction sites and on intra-regional flights. It would be very difficult to use this model over long distances: the suspension is rigid, and there is no sleeping space in the cabin.
"KAMAZ-65115" is equipped with an all-metal dump platform with an inclined front side. The body has a box-shaped, bucket-shaped or trough-shaped type and a protective visor that reliably covers the space between the platform and the cabin. Exhaust gases heat the underbody, preventing cargo from sticking and freezing to the loading platform. For use with trailers, as part of road trains, the vehicle is equipped with towing devices “pin-loop” or “clearance hitch”, as well as electrical and pneumatic power outlets for trailer systems. The truck can be used either independently or with a trailer, as part of dump truck trains. In addition to dump bodies, other superstructures are also installed on the KamAZ-65115 chassis: concrete mixers, garbage trucks, tank trucks, truck cranes, loader cranes, scrap trucks/metal trucks.

Engine
Until 2006, most KamAZ-65115 vehicles were equipped with a 240-horsepower diesel engine of our own production, KamAZ-140.11-24O, with a turbocharging system. This power unit belongs to the Euro-1 environmental class. Further, the line of diesel engines for KamAZ-65115 began to be dominated by 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines from Cummins - more powerful, productive and at the same time more economical and environmentally friendly. In particular, the most common of them was the Cummins 6ISBe 285, with turbocharging and intercooling of charge air; with increased environmental friendliness and efficiency characteristics.
Its characteristics are:
- working volume – 6.7 l
- rated power - 282 hp.
- maximum useful torque – 1087 N.m (111 kgf.m)
- at a crankshaft speed of 1300 rpm
- Maximum net power – 300 hp. (215 kW), at a crankshaft speed of 2500 rpm
- Compression ratio – 17.3
This power unit was a joint development of specialists from Cummins Inc and KamAZ OJSC. It pairs perfectly with the ZF-9 S1310 9-speed manual transmission. Of the classic KamAZ diesel engines of our own production, the most common on KamAZ-65115 dump trucks was the 8-cylinder modification KamAZ-740.62-280 with a V-shaped cylinder arrangement. Characteristics of this power unit: displacement – 11.76 l, rated power – 280 hp, maximum torque – 1177 N.m. It is coupled with a 10-speed KamAZ manual transmission.
Modern dump trucks of this model are equipped with KamAZ-740.622-280 or Cummins ISB6.7 300 engines. Both variants are equipped with a Bosch high-pressure fuel pump and a Common Rail electronic injection system. Both meet the requirements of the Euro-4 standard.
Transmission
Transmissions produced by KamAZ are traditionally distinguished by consistently high quality, durability and wear resistance. More modern boxes and advanced gearboxes from Zahnrad Fabrik are “conditionally imported”: their production was mastered in Naberezhnye Chelny. The Z-F variants are gradually naturally replacing the outdated domestic transmission on KamAZs - “a legacy of Soviet times.”
With the engines of KamAZ-65115 dump trucks, as a rule, a mechanical 9-speed gearbox of the ZF-9 S1310 model is used with a range of gear ratios from 9.48 to 0.75. The transmission of rotation from the engine to the manual transmission is carried out using a single-disc diaphragm-type clutch with a hydraulic drive having a pneumatic booster. The final drive ratio is 5.94.
Switching circuit
Suspension
The dump truck's suspension is dependent on leaf springs. Brake drums with a diameter of 400 mm are mounted on each wheel. The width of the brake linings is 140 mm, the total area is 6300 cm2. The brake drive is pneumatic. To improve braking efficiency, an ABS system is installed. The rear tire of the truck is double. On steel rims size 7.5-20 (190-508) pneumatic tube tires 11.00R20 (300 R508) are installed.
Electrical diagram
KAMAZ 65115 has a single-wire electrical system with a nominal voltage of 24 V. On-board consumers of electrical energy operate when the engine is turned off due to two 12-volt starter lead batteries connected in series. To charge batteries and power electrical circuits in motion, a generator with a power of 2000 W and a voltage of 28 V is installed.

Cabin
The KamAZ-65115 dump truck received a new, completely modernized restyled cab in 2010. She was left without a sleeping place, but was equipped with a roof with a significantly higher ceiling. The cab bumper became plastic; rectangular headlights, wheel arches and rear-view mirrors have become larger and more modern in appearance. There are deflectors on both sides of the cabin. The windshield wiper is a three-blade wiper.
In addition to standard seats (driver's seat with lateral support), the cabs of KamAZ-65115 dump trucks are equipped with more expensive and comfortable Grammer seats, equipped with a wide range of settings and air suspension. The steering column in the new cabin is also adjustable, although not without considerable effort.
The cabin is located high, but easy access is provided by comfortable steps and handrails, suitable for drivers of any height. Panoramic mirrors guarantee excellent visibility. There is a tool box under the passenger seat.
Loading platform
KamAZ-65115 dump trucks are equipped with NefAZ bodies in three versions:
- “Bucket/scoop” of rectangular shape, with rear unloading;
- The body is oval, U-shaped (or “trough-shaped”), with rear unloading;
- A rectangular body with extension sides - for agricultural dump trucks with the possibility of unloading not only the rear, but also the side.
The steel body, with various options for hanging the sides, is equipped with a hydraulic lifting mechanism. To raise and lower a cargo dump platform, a hydraulic drive is used, including a PTO (power take-off) with a pump, hydraulic fittings and telescopic hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulics are made on high-quality element base, using advanced technological solutions. In the rear part of the body there is an opening side with the possibility of locking it using special levers. This prevents it from spontaneously opening during movement.

The platform of the Kamaz-65115 dump truck is all-metal, welded with a protective visor, heated by exhaust gases to prevent the cargo from freezing.
Fig.39. Kamaz-65115 dump truck platform
The volume of the platform of the Kamaz-65115 vehicle is 8.5 m3 (see pictures), the tipping angle is -60°. Single-acting, three-stage telescopic hydraulic cylinder.
Gear-type oil pump with a flow of 56 l/min at a pump shaft speed of 1900... 2000 rpm. The pump drive is from the engine through the gearbox and power take-off. The gear ratio of the engine-pump drive is 1.26.
The lift limit valve limits platform lift when the platform reaches its maximum lift angle.
Electropneumatic valves provide air supply from the pneumatic system of the Kamaz-65115 vehicle to the pneumatic chambers installed on the power take-off box.
The oil tank is stamped, welded, has a filler neck with a filter mesh, an oil level indicator and a breather. A strainer is installed on the drain line in the tank.
Operating principle of the Kamaz-65115 dump truck platform
The sequence of operations when raising and lowering the platform of a Kamaz-65115 dump truck (see Fig. 40):
To turn on the power take-off, disengage the Kamaz-65115 clutch and press and turn the power take-off switch handle - the warning light built into its handle will light up).
The current flows through the thermobimetallic fuse to the winding of the electromagnet of pneumatic valve No. 3, the core of which, moving, opens the valve. Air from the receiver enters the cavity of the pneumatic chamber of the power take-off box.
When the KamAZ-65115 clutch is engaged, the oil pump will start working. Oil from the tank, through the suction and discharge cavities of the pump, flows through a pipeline into the control valve, and then drains into the tank. Such oil circulation helps to warm it up in winter, which improves the operating conditions of the hydraulic system of the tipping mechanism;
To raise the platform, move the platform up/down switch to position “II”. In this case, the current passes through the windings of electro-pneumatic valves No. 1 and No. 2, the cores of which, moving, open the valves.
Air from the receiver is supplied to the pneumatic chambers of the control valve. Oil from the control valve flows through pipelines into the hydraulic cylinder. Under the influence of oil pressure, the hydraulic cylinder links sequentially extend, raising the platform.
As the KamAZ-65115 platform rises, the hydraulic cylinder tilts; When the maximum lift angle is reached, the hydraulic cylinder body presses the adjusting screw of the platform lift limiting valve, and the oil is drained through the valve into the tank. The platform lifting stops;
To stop the platform in an intermediate position while raising or lowering, move the platform up/down switch to the neutral position.
In this case, electro-pneumatic valves No. 1 and No. 2 are turned off, air leaves the working cavities of the pneumatic chambers into the atmosphere. The hydraulic cylinder line is closed, and the cavity of the control valve communicates with the drain line, and the oil from the pump is drained through the control valve into the tank;
To lower the KamAZ-65115 platform, move the platform lifting and lowering switch to position “I”. The current flows to the winding of electro-pneumatic valve No. 1, the core of which, moving, opens the valve. Air from the receiver enters pneumatic chamber “a” of the control valve. Through the control valve, oil is drained from the hydraulic cylinder into the tank.
Once the platform has been lowered, it is necessary to set the power take-off switch to the OFF position (after disengaging the clutch). In this case, the oil pump stops working.

Adjusting the platform lifting mechanism of the Kamaz-65115 dump truck
Check the condition and correct adjustment of the KamAZ-65115 platform lift limitation valve (see Fig. 41).
The valve must be securely fastened to the subframe cross member bracket. The adjusting screw must be locked with a locknut. Do not allow the valve stem to be bent or oil to leak from under the stem seal or through the threaded connections of pipelines.
When the platform lift angle is correctly adjusted, the locking pins (Fig. 42) of the platform should freely fit into the holes in the subframe brackets. Do not allow the Kamaz-65115 dump truck to be operated with improper adjustment of the platform lift angle.
To adjust the lifting angle of the Kamaz-65115 dump truck platform, do the following:
Unscrew the lock nut (see Fig. 41) of the adjusting screw;
Screw the adjusting screw into the rod as far as it will go;
Raise the KamAZ-65115 platform to a position where the platform locking pins freely fit into the holes of the subframe brackets, and lock the platform in this position with the locking pins;
Unscrew the adjusting screw from the valve stem until it touches the hydraulic cylinder body and lock it with a lock nut;
Unlock the KamAZ-65115 platform, lower it and raise it again;
Make sure that the lifting stops when the axis of the locking pins (see Fig. Installing safety cables) coincides with the axes of the holes in the subframe brackets. The deflection of the safety cable should be 35... 50 mm. If the deflection is different, adjust the cable length by loosening the cable clamps.

KamAZ 65115 is a large family of powerful, high-performance trucks, the history of which dates back to 1976. Models in the series demonstrate high levels of reliability, load capacity and cross-country ability. The production of vehicles has been established at the facilities of KAMAZ OJSC in Tatarstan.
The latest generation of the car has undergone a global restyling, which added to its visual appeal and functionally allowed it to compete on equal terms with its European counterparts. KamAZ 65115 is rarely used for long trips, since all modifications do not have a sleeping place. At the same time, in the constant monotonous work of moving large loads on bad roads or off-road, this model has practically no equal.
The history of the KamAZ 65115 truck began quite a long time ago. The predecessor of the model was the first dump truck of the KamAZ 5511 brand, which premiered in 1976. Soon the vehicle underwent a thorough modernization and received increased carrying capacity. However, further improvement of operational parameters turned out to be impossible. The specialists of the Kama Automobile Plant were tasked with developing an advanced dump truck with high modernization potential and a load capacity of up to 15,000 kg.
After several tests, the model premiered. Serial production of the first KamAZ 65115 vehicles (6 by 4 wheel arrangement) began in 1998. The car quickly gained popularity among potential customers. The legendary slogan “tanks are not afraid of dirt” fully applies to this vehicle. The model received a classic layout and an almost indestructible suspension. Quite quickly, KamAZ 65115 became one of the brand’s best-selling products. Soon, the KamAZ 65111 all-wheel drive truck was produced based on the car.
The model has been modernized several times. Until 2006, the car was equipped with a 240-horsepower diesel engine of its own production (KAMAZ-140.11-240 version) with turbocharging. The unit met the Euro-1 class. The picture was completed by a 10-speed gearbox with clutch. Later, the 6-cylinder Cummins 6ISBe 285 diesel engine with improved environmental friendliness and efficiency characteristics appeared in the line of power plants.
In 2010, the model underwent a major restyling. The truck has a completely modernized cabin with new mirrors, an on-board computer and an adjustable steering column. After the update, KamAZ 65115 became more modern and attractive. Instead of the classic round headlights, stylish rectangular headlights appeared in front. The bumper has become more massive and brutal. Thanks to this, safety has also increased, since this element acts as a buffer in collisions, softening the impact. Durable plastic in this case absorbed shocks well. The appearance of the car was complemented by powerful wheel arches, rounded lines of the windshield, deflectors and wear-resistant wipers. Now KamAZ 65115 could not be called a “relic of the Soviet era.”
Visibility has also improved. Modern side mirrors with different angles have minimized the number of blind spots. In terms of comfort, due to the air suspension and multiple seat settings, the model could easily compete with foreign competitors.

Device
KamAZ 65115 received a standard layout for its class with the following main elements:
- strong steel frame;
- reinforced metal bumpers;
- roomy body;
- twin wheeled chassis;
- engine under the cab.
The model had three axes. Two of them were leading with a dual-pitch tire. The middle axle was considered the main one, since the main torque was transmitted to its gearbox. The main units were mounted on a supporting frame made of metal by welding and casting. There was a cabin in front above the engine; due to good sound insulation and well-thought-out design, there was no need to raise your voice inside. Access to the power plant was through tilting the cab.
The latest versions of the trucks used side members with a profile height of 280 mm. For the KamAZ 65115 model, the frame was reinforced with a strong steel plate from the outer area of the spar. The base, which was lengthened in comparison with the KamAZ 5511 modification, ensured a more uniform distribution of weight throughout the body. Tires with size 11.00 R20 made it possible to move comfortably on roads with poor traffic. At the same time, the “washing out” of bridges was excluded.
The basic version of the car was equipped with a metal body with a hydraulic lifting mechanism. In the rear part there was an opening side with the possibility of locking using special levers. This prevented spontaneous opening during movement.
The car's suspension is dependent on leaf springs. For many, it seems a little tough, but in terms of quality and reliability, the unit surpasses most of its analogues. In addition, the pneumatic elements used in the design of the driver's seat minimize vibration.
The main elements of the braking system are brake drums with a width of 140 mm and a diameter of 400 mm. Due to the pneumatic drive, a quick stop of transport is achieved.
Transmissions produced by KamAZ have always been of high quality. Modernization of gearboxes has only improved their properties. Currently, the car uses a 9-speed gearbox of its own production. Since the early 2000s, the truck has also been equipped with a 16-speed transmission from the German brand Zahnrad Fabrik and a 9-speed gearbox jointly produced by ZF and KamAZ. Moreover, foreign options are gradually replacing the domestic transmission.
The KamAZ 65115 cab is considered one of the best in the line. This car does not need a 2-meter ceiling or a flat floor. The principle of great functionality and accessibility, which has proven itself well among domestic consumers, is fully implemented here. Catophoretic priming provides reliable protection against corrosion. Cabs with a berth are not included in the line of KamAZ 65115 modifications. According to this parameter, the model loses to Chinese and European competitors. The most notable feature of the latest versions of the truck is the plastic dashboard, which retains the same instrument cluster. A small display also appeared in the cabin. But not everyone likes the low-mounted plastic bumper and steps, since the old steel bumper seems much more reliable. The headlights also cause some criticism.
KamAZ 65115 is equipped with seats from different manufacturers. The most successful and expensive option is Grammer seats, used by European brands. In addition to a large list of settings, they are equipped with air suspension, making the ride more comfortable. The steering column can move, but the process occurs with great effort.

How the platform works
The sequence of operations when raising and lowering the platform of a dump truck ( see fig. Schematic diagram of the dump truck platform lifting mechanism ):
- To engage the power take-off, disengage the clutch and press and turn the power take-off switch handle - the warning light built into the handle will light up). The current flows through the thermobimetallic fuse to the winding of the electromagnet of pneumatic valve No. 3, the core of which, moving, opens the valve. Air from the receiver enters the cavity of the pneumatic chamber of the power take-off box. When the clutch is engaged, the oil pump will start working. Oil from the tank, through the suction and discharge cavities of the pump, flows through a pipeline into the control valve, and then drains into the tank. Such oil circulation helps to warm it up in winter, which improves the operating conditions of the hydraulic system of the tipping mechanism;
- To raise the platform, move the platform raising and lowering switch to position “II”. In this case, the current passes through the windings of electropneumatic valves No. 1 and No. 2, the cores of which, moving, open the valves. Air from the receiver is supplied to the pneumatic chambers of the control valve. Oil from the control valve flows through pipelines into the hydraulic cylinder. Under the influence of oil pressure, the hydraulic cylinder links sequentially extend, raising the platform.
As the platform rises, the hydraulic cylinder tilts; When the maximum lift angle is reached, the hydraulic cylinder body presses the adjusting screw of the platform lift limiting valve, and the oil is drained through the valve into the tank. The platform lifting stops;
- To stop the platform in an intermediate position while raising or lowering, move the platform up/down switch to the neutral position. In this case, electro-pneumatic valves No. 1 and No. 2 are turned off, air leaves the working cavities of the pneumatic chambers into the atmosphere. The hydraulic cylinder line is closed, and the cavity of the control valve communicates with the drain line, and the oil from the pump is drained through the control valve into the tank;
- To lower the platform, move the platform up/down switch to the “I” position. The current flows to the winding of electro-pneumatic valve No. 1, the core of which, moving, opens the valve. Air from the receiver enters pneumatic chamber “a” of the control valve. Through the control valve, oil is drained from the hydraulic cylinder into the tank.
Once the platform has been lowered, it is necessary to set the power take-off switch to the OFF position (after disengaging the clutch). In this case, the oil pump stops working.
Adjusting the dump truck platform lifting mechanism
Check the condition and correct adjustment of the platform lift limit valve ( see fig. Adjusting the dump truck platform lifting mechanism ). The valve must be securely fastened to the subframe cross member bracket. The adjusting screw must be locked with a locknut. Do not allow the valve stem to be bent or oil to leak from under the stem seal or through the threaded connections of the pipelines. When the platform lift angle is correctly adjusted, the locking pins (Fig. Installing safety cables) of the platform should fit freely into the holes in the subframe brackets. Do not operate the vehicle if the platform lift angle is not adjusted properly.
To adjust the platform lift angle dump truck:
- unscrew the locknut ( see fig. Adjusting the dump truck platform lifting mechanism ) adjusting screw;
- screw the adjusting screw into the rod until it stops;
- lift the platform to a position where the platform locking pins fit freely into the holes in the subframe brackets, and lock the platform in this position with the locking pins;
- unscrew the adjusting screw from the valve stem until it touches the hydraulic cylinder body and lock it with a lock nut;
- unlock the platform, lower it and raise it again;
- make sure that lifting stops when the axis of the locking pins coincides ( see fig. Installation of safety ropes ) with the axes of the holes in the subframe brackets. The deflection of the safety cable should be 35... 50 mm. If the deflection is different, adjust the cable length by loosening the cable clamps.
Checking the oil level and filling the hydraulic system
Check the oil level in the tank with the platform lowered using the indicator mounted in the tank cover. The level should be located between marks H and B on the indicator.
To refuel the hydraulic system:
- Unscrew the oil tank filler cap, remove, wash and reinstall the strainer;
- Fill the oil up to mark B marked on the oil level indicator;
- raise and lower the platform 3...4 times at an average engine speed (1100...1300 rpm) to pump the system and remove air from it;
- Check the oil level, if necessary add to mark B.
