The Bomag 05581256 Gas Spring is a genuine OEM replacement designed for Bomag RS 500 and RS 460 recycler/stabilizers and the BW 145 and BW 177 series single drum rollers, including the BW 145 D-5, BW 145 DH-5, BW 145 PDH-5, BW 177-5, BW 177 D-5, BW 177 DH-5, and BW 177 PDH-5 variants. Sourced directly from Bomag, this gas spring carries the same part number 05581256 and meets the same specifications as the component installed at the factory. It installs as a direct drop-in replacement, restoring proper hood, panel, or door assist function without modification. Whether you're servicing a recycler/stabilizer or a single drum roller, this part delivers the controlled support action the machine's access panel system depends on.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Damping Force — manufactured to the exact extension force and stroke specification Bomag engineering requires, ensuring the panel or hood it supports opens and holds position correctly every time
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original mounting points and end fittings on covered machines, so installation is straightforward with no adaptation
- Broad Fitment Coverage — fits the RS 500, RS 460, and RS460 Stage V recycler/stabilizers, plus BW 145 and BW 177 series single drum rollers across D-5, DH-5, PDH-5, PL, and standard configurations
- Consistent Panel Control — a worn or failed gas spring causes access panels and hoods to drop unexpectedly during service; this replacement restores the controlled, damped travel that keeps panels safely open during maintenance work
- Operator and Technician Safety — unsupported access panels are a genuine pinch and crush hazard; replacing a failed gas spring with a correctly rated OEM unit eliminates that risk during routine service and inspection
A gas spring is a sealed, pressurized strut that uses compressed gas to exert a controlled pushing force across its stroke. On Bomag recycler/stabilizers and single drum rollers, gas springs are typically used to assist in opening and holding engine hoods, service panels, or access doors — counterbalancing the weight of the panel so it stays open hands-free during maintenance. When a gas spring loses pressure or its seals degrade, the panel it supports will no longer hold position, creating a safety hazard and complicating routine service access. Replacing the unit promptly with the correct part number 05581256 restores safe, reliable panel operation.
