The Bomag 06172102 Bow Element is a genuine OEM component designed for the BMP 851, BMP 8500, and BW 85 T trench compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this bow element matches the original part in every dimensional and material specification, ensuring a direct, hassle-free installation. It is a confirmed fit for all three trench compactor models listed, so you can order with confidence that this is the correct part for your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original material and dimensional standards, delivering the same structural integrity and flexibility as the factory-installed bow element
- Direct Replacement Fit — engineered to match the mounting points and geometry of the original, allowing straightforward swap-out without modification or special tooling
- Verified Fitment — confirmed compatible with the BMP 851, BMP 8500, and BW 85 T trench compactors, covering the core machines in Bomag's trench compaction lineup
- Structural Integrity Restored — a worn or damaged bow element compromises the compactor's frame flex and load transfer; replacing it with an OEM part restores correct machine behavior and compaction output
- Exact Part Number Match — ordering by Bomag part number 06172102 eliminates guesswork and ensures you receive the precise component the machine was built to accept
The bow element is a structural flex component that forms part of the articulated frame assembly on BOMAG trench compactors. It absorbs and distributes dynamic forces generated during compaction, allowing controlled articulation between machine sections while maintaining structural stability. When the bow element wears, cracks, or fails, the machine loses proper frame flexibility, which can lead to uneven compaction, excessive stress on surrounding components, and reduced operational control.
