The Bomag 05517914 Cranked Link is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 55 E, BW 71 E-2, and BW 55 walk-behind light rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this cranked link delivers the exact geometry and material grade required to maintain proper drive chain alignment on these machines. It installs as a direct replacement with no adaptation needed, matching the original specification for a correct, secure connection. Contractors and operators running any of these compact roller models can order with confidence knowing part number 05517914 is the correct, factory-authorized component.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Chain Integrity — Manufactured to Bomag's original link dimensions and hardness spec, ensuring consistent load transfer and wear characteristics matched to the factory drive chain.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to the same offset geometry as the original cranked link, connecting directly into the existing chain assembly without modification.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with Bomag BW 55 E, BW 71 E-2, and BW 55 walk-behind light rollers, keeping these compact machines running on schedule.
- Sustained Drive Performance — A correctly fitted cranked link maintains proper chain tension and pitch alignment, preventing skipping, accelerated wear on sprockets, and uneven compaction output.
- Factory-Authorized Quality — Carrying the Bomag OEM designation, this part meets the same standards as the component it replaces, protecting the long-term durability of the drive system.
A cranked link — also called an offset link — is a specialized chain link used to connect or shorten a drive chain where an even number of standard links cannot close the loop. In a walk-behind roller, the drive chain transmits engine power to the drum or drive wheel, and the cranked link is the critical closing piece that holds the chain circuit together under continuous load. When a cranked link wears, cracks, or fails, the chain loses tension or separates entirely, stopping drive power to the drum and halting compaction work until the link is replaced.
