The Bomag 05585962 Drive Axle is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 177 and BW 179 series single drum rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this drive axle meets the same specifications as the original part installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. Coverage spans a wide range of BW 177 and BW 179 variants across the -3, -4, -40, and -50 generation series, including D, DH, DHC, PDH, and PDHC configurations, as well as USA-designated models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Integrity — Manufactured by Bomag to the same material and dimensional standards as the original drive axle, ensuring correct load-bearing capacity and drivetrain compatibility for single drum roller applications.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting geometry and interface points, so this drive axle fits into the drivetrain without adaptation or custom machining.
- Broad BW 177 and BW 179 Coverage — Confirmed fitment across BW 177 D-3, BW 177 DH-3, BW 177 PDH-3, BW 177 DH-4, BW 177 PDH-4, BW 177 D-40, BW 177 DH-40, BW 177 PDH-40, BW 177 D-50, BW 177 DH-50, BW 177 PDH-50, BW 179 DH-4, BW 179 PDH-4, BW 179 DHC-4, BW 179 PDHC-4, and additional variants including USA-market and DHC/PDHC configurations.
- Drivetrain Power Transfer — A correctly functioning drive axle keeps propulsive force flowing from the transmission to the drum or wheels without slippage or vibration. A worn or damaged axle causes loss of traction, uneven compaction passes, and accelerated wear on adjacent drivetrain components.
- Verified Part Number Traceability — Ordering by Bomag part number 05585962 confirms you are receiving the exact assembly specified for your machine, eliminating the risk of receiving an incompatible axle for a neighboring model or generation.
The drive axle is the structural and mechanical link between the roller's transmission and its driven drum or wheel assembly, transferring torque to propel the machine across the compaction surface. On single drum rollers like the BW 177 and BW 179, the axle must withstand continuous torsional stress and the shock loads generated by drum vibration during operation. When the drive axle wears, cracks, or fails, the machine loses the ability to move under its own power, bringing compaction work to a halt and risking secondary damage to the differential, gearbox, or wheel bearings.
