The brake pneumatic drive has a source of compressed air - compressor 1. Compressor, pressure regulator 2, fuse 3 against freezing of condensate in compressed air and condensation receiver 11 - the supply part of the drive, from which purified compressed air at a given pressure is supplied to the remaining parts of the pneumatic drive and to other compressed air consumers

The drive is divided into autonomous circuits, separated by safety valves. Each circuit operates independently of the others.

Moisture-oil separator

Moisture-oil separator: 21 - housing; 22 - hollow screw; 24 - centrifugal guide vane; 25 - mesh; 26 - membrane; 27 - valve spring; 28 - cover; 29 - condensate drain valve; 30 - cooler

When describing the components and operating principle, the pneumatic drive of the KamAZ-5320 vehicle was taken as the basis. However, you should be aware that the brake actuators of other cars have their own distinctive features.

To improve moisture separation in the supply part of the brake drive of the KamAZ-53212 vehicle in the compressor-pressure regulator section, a moisture separator is additionally installed on the first cross member of the frame in the zone of intense airflow.

The KamAZ-5511 dump truck does not have trailer brake system control equipment, disconnect valves, or connecting heads.
