The Bomag 05901331 Gear Unit for Travel is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 184 AD-2 AM and BW 184 AD-2 tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this unit delivers an exact match to the original assembly, ensuring seamless installation without guesswork. This gear unit is the correct specified replacement for these tandem roller models, giving operators and service technicians full confidence in fitment accuracy.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Gear Tolerances — manufactured to Bomag's original specifications, with gear mesh and ratio matched precisely to the BW 184 AD-2 series drivetrain for proper torque transfer at the drum.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — mounts to the existing interfaces on BW 184 AD-2 AM and BW 184 AD-2 tandem rollers, using the same bolt pattern and shaft dimensions as the original unit.
- Verified Fitment — confirmed for BW 184 AD-2 AM and BW 184 AD-2 tandem rollers under part number 05901331, eliminating compatibility risk on the job.
- Sustained Propulsion Performance — a correctly functioning travel gear unit maintains smooth, consistent drum drive; a worn or failing unit can cause slipping, erratic travel speed, or complete loss of propulsion.
- Long-Term Drivetrain Integrity — genuine OEM construction means internal gearing, bearings, and housing are built to the same service life expectations as the unit it replaces, protecting surrounding drivetrain components.
The gear unit for travel is the mechanical assembly responsible for transmitting power from the hydraulic drive motor to the drum, controlling travel speed and direction. It steps down motor output to the appropriate rotational force needed to propel the roller across the work surface. When this unit wears or fails, the machine may lose traction, exhibit uneven drum rotation, or become unable to travel — halting compaction operations entirely until the unit is replaced.
