The Bomag 05722178 Cam Follower is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BP 20/48 D and BP 23/48 D vibratory plates, the BPR 30/38 D reversible vibratory plate, and the BW 71 E walk-behind roller. As a direct OEM replacement, this cam follower meets Bomag's original engineering specifications, ensuring the correct geometry and load capacity for your machine's drive or valve train system. Whether you're servicing a vibratory plate or a walk-behind roller, part number 05722178 delivers a dependable, like-for-like fit with no guesswork on compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision — manufactured to Bomag's original load-bearing and dimensional specifications for cam follower applications, ensuring correct contact geometry and rolling performance under compaction loads
- Direct OEM Replacement — installs in place of the original component without modification, restoring proper mechanical engagement within the drive or valve train assembly
- Broad Compaction Equipment Coverage — fits the BP 20/48 D and BP 23/48 D vibratory plates, the BPR 30/38 D reversible vibratory plate, and the BW 71 E walk-behind roller
- Sustained Mechanical Performance — a correctly functioning cam follower maintains consistent contact with the cam surface, preserving smooth power transfer; a worn or failed follower causes accelerated cam wear, vibration irregularities, and loss of drive efficiency
- Verified Part Number Fit — order with confidence using Bomag part number 05722178, cross-referenced directly to the machines listed above
A cam follower is a precision rolling element that rides against a rotating cam, translating rotational motion into controlled linear or oscillating movement within the machine's mechanical system. In compaction equipment, this component plays a critical role in maintaining smooth, consistent power transfer through the drive train or exciter mechanism. When a cam follower wears down or fails, it creates uneven contact with the cam surface, leading to increased vibration, accelerated component wear, and ultimately a loss of compaction performance — making timely replacement essential to keeping the machine operating as designed.
