The Bomag 05581188 Gas Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for BMP 8500 trench compactors and MPH 600 and RS 650 recycler/stabilizers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this gas spring delivers an exact OEM fit with no guesswork on compatibility. It is confirmed for use on the BMP 8500, BMP 8500 Kohler, and BMP 8500 Kubota trench compactors, as well as the MPH 600, MPH 600 3B/4i-PB, MPH 600 EU-FLEX, and RS 650 recycler/stabilizers — covering a broad range of Bomag heavy compaction and stabilization equipment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original design specifications, ensuring the correct force rating and stroke length for proper panel or door actuation on your machine
- Direct OEM Replacement — mounts to the same attachment points as the original, allowing straightforward installation without modification
- Broad Confirmed Fitment — compatible with BMP 8500, BMP 8500 Kohler, and BMP 8500 Kubota trench compactors, plus MPH 600, MPH 600 3B/4i-PB, MPH 600 EU-FLEX, and RS 650 recycler/stabilizers
- Sustained Holding Force — a correctly functioning gas spring holds access panels, hoods, or covers securely in the open position, keeping service areas accessible and operator hands free during maintenance
- Operator Safety — a worn or failed gas spring can allow heavy panels to drop unexpectedly during servicing; replacing it with part number 05581188 restores the controlled, supported movement the machine was engineered to provide
A gas spring is a sealed pneumatic cylinder that uses compressed gas to generate a controlled, consistent push or resistance force. On heavy compaction and stabilization equipment, gas springs are commonly used to hold engine hoods, access doors, and service panels in the raised position during inspections and maintenance. When a gas spring loses pressure or its seals degrade, panels can become difficult to hold open or may drop without warning — creating a safety hazard and interrupting service work. Replacing a faulty gas spring restores smooth, controlled movement and keeps maintenance tasks safe and efficient.
