The Bomag 05985781 Cylinder is a genuine OEM component designed for BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, including the BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4. Sourced directly from Bomag, this cylinder meets the exact dimensional and material standards required for dependable operation in demanding landfill and waste-processing environments. Confirming part number 05985781 before ordering ensures a direct, hassle-free installation on your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original dimensional tolerances and material specifications, ensuring the cylinder performs exactly as the machine was engineered to deliver
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to install in place of the original component with no rework or adaptation needed on compatible BC-series refuse and landfill compactors
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits the BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4 refuse and landfill compactors
- Sustained Hydraulic Performance — a correctly functioning cylinder maintains consistent force and stroke output, keeping compaction cycles smooth and productive under heavy refuse loads
- Pressure Integrity — built to withstand the high operating pressures typical of large refuse compactor hydraulic systems, resisting wear, scoring, and seal failure over extended service intervals
A hydraulic cylinder converts pressurized fluid into linear mechanical force, driving the actuated components that control compaction, articulation, or implement positioning on heavy refuse and landfill compactors. On machines like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, cylinders endure extreme cyclic loads and exposure to abrasive debris, making material quality and dimensional accuracy critical. When a cylinder develops internal leakage or scoring, the machine loses actuation force, response becomes sluggish, and continued operation risks damage to seals, hoses, and connected hydraulic circuits.
