The Bomag 05902388 Gear Unit for Travel is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BW 174 and BW 170 series tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this unit delivers an exact OEM fit for models including the BW 174 AD-2, BW 174 AD-2 AM, BW 174 AC-2, BW 174 AC-2 AM, BW 174 AP, BW 174 AP-AM, BW 174 ACP, BW 174 ACP-AM, BW 170 AD-2 AM, and BW 170 AP AM. As a genuine OEM part, it meets the same design and dimensional standards as the original unit installed at the factory. When propulsion performance matters on the job, this is the correct replacement to restore it.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Torque and Gear Precision — manufactured to Bomag's exact gear ratio and torque transfer specifications, ensuring the travel drive performs as engineered rather than approximated
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to mount and connect exactly as the original unit, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory-fitted component
- Broad BW 174 and BW 170 Series Coverage — confirmed fitment across BW 174 AD-2, BW 174 AD-2 AM, BW 174 AC-2, BW 174 AC-2 AM, BW 174 AP, BW 174 AP-AM, BW 174 ACP, BW 174 ACP-AM, BW 170 AD-2 AM, and BW 170 AP AM tandem rollers
- Consistent Propulsion Output — a properly functioning travel gear unit maintains steady drum speed and tractive effort; a worn or failed unit causes erratic travel, loss of drive, and uneven compaction passes
- Verified Bomag Part Number — order with confidence using part number 05902388, the correct Bomag catalog reference for this assembly across all listed tandem roller variants
The gear unit for travel is the core power-transmission assembly that converts engine or hydraulic motor output into controlled forward and reverse movement of the roller drums. It governs how smoothly and consistently the machine travels across the asphalt mat, directly affecting compaction uniformity and operator control. When this unit develops wear or internal damage, symptoms typically include sluggish or uneven travel, unusual drivetrain noise, and loss of propulsion — all of which interrupt production and can compromise the finished surface quality.
