The Bomag 05718587 Belt Tensioner is a genuine OEM component designed for the BC 572 RB-2 refuse/landfill compactor. Sourced directly from Bomag, this belt tensioner matches the original specification for a drop-in installation with no guesswork. As a genuine OEM part, it carries the same engineering tolerances and materials as the unit that left the factory, ensuring consistent tensioning performance across the drive system. If you're servicing a BC 572 RB-2 and need a verified, direct-replacement tensioner, part number 05718587 is the correct choice.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tensioning Integrity — built to the exact spring-load and pivot specifications Bomag engineered for the BC 572 RB-2 drive belt system, maintaining correct belt tension under heavy compaction loads
- Direct-Replacement Fit — mounts to the original bracket position on the BC 572 RB-2, aligning precisely with the existing belt path for a straightforward swap
- Verified Compatibility — part number 05718587 is confirmed for the BC 572 RB-2 refuse/landfill compactor, so you can order with confidence
- Protects Belts and Driven Components — correct tensioner function prevents belt slippage, uneven wear, and premature failure of downstream pulleys and drive components
- Durable Construction — manufactured to withstand the high-cycle, high-vibration operating environment typical of landfill and refuse compaction work
A belt tensioner maintains the correct amount of tension on a drive belt, keeping it firmly engaged with its pulleys throughout the machine's operating cycle. Without proper tension, the belt can slip, overheat, or shed prematurely, robbing the driven system of power and accelerating wear on pulleys and bearings. On a heavy-duty refuse and landfill compactor like the BC 572 RB-2, where the drivetrain works under sustained, demanding loads, a worn or failed tensioner can quickly cascade into broader drivetrain damage — making timely replacement essential to keeping the machine productive.
