The Bomag 05748159 Governor Arm is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BT and BVT tampers and BP and BVP vibratory plates, including the BT 50, BT 60, BT 60/4, BT 60 G, BT 65, BT 65/4, BT 65 G, BVT 65, BP 6/30, BP 10/30, and BVP 10/30. Sourced directly from Bomag, this part matches the original specification for a direct, confidence-inspiring installation. If you are dealing with erratic engine speed, hunting at idle, or a machine that won't hold its set RPM, replacing a worn or damaged governor arm is the correct first step toward restoring steady, controlled operation.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Mechanical Precision — manufactured to Bomag's original tolerances, ensuring the pivot geometry and linkage engagement of the governor arm match the engine's designed operating range exactly
- Drop-In Replacement — engineered to the same dimensions and attachment points as the original, so this part installs directly onto the governor linkage without reworking surrounding components
- Broad Tamper and Plate Coverage — confirmed fitment across Bomag BT 50, BT 60, BT 60/4, BT 60 G, BT 65, BT 65/4, BT 65 G, BVT 65 tampers and BP 6/30, BP 10/30, BVP 10/30 vibratory plates
- Steady Engine Speed Restored — a correctly functioning governor arm keeps engine RPM stable under varying compaction loads, maintaining consistent impact energy and compaction output
- Genuine Bomag Part — supplied as an authentic OEM component under part number 05748159, backed by Bomag's supply chain for correct material grade and fit
The governor arm is a mechanical linkage component within the engine's speed-governing system. It connects the throttle or fuel control mechanism to the flyweight or spring assembly, translating the governor's response into fuel delivery adjustments that hold the engine at a stable, set RPM. On tampers and vibratory plates, where engine load fluctuates constantly with each compaction stroke or ground condition change, a worn or bent governor arm causes the engine to hunt, surge, or lose power — reducing compaction effectiveness and accelerating engine wear. Replacing this part restores precise throttle response and keeps the machine running at the correct operating speed across its full range of working conditions.
