The Bomag 05542938 Nut is a genuine OEM fastener designed for Bomag BC-series refuse and landfill compactors and RS-series recyclers/stabilizers. As a direct OEM replacement, this nut meets Bomag's original dimensional and material specifications, ensuring a secure, correctly torqued connection every time. This fastener fits a broad range of machines including the BC 672 RB-4, BC 772 RB-2, BC 772 RB-4, BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, BC 1172 RB-4, RS 460, RS460 STAGE V, and RS 500. Sourcing part number 05542938 directly from the OEM catalog eliminates the guesswork of fitment verification and keeps your machine running with components built to the original design.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Grade — manufactured to Bomag's original thread form, hardness, and dimensional tolerances, ensuring the clamping load and torque performance the assembly was engineered around
- Drop-In Replacement — matches the original thread pitch, diameter, and seating profile for straightforward installation without rework or adaptation
- Broad BC and RS Series Coverage — fits BC 672 RB-4, BC 772 RB-2, BC 772 RB-4, BC 972 RB through BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB through BC 1172 RB-4, RS 460, RS460 STAGE V, and RS 500
- Structural Connection Integrity — a fastener at the correct specification holds critical assemblies in alignment; an incorrect or worn nut risks loosening, vibration-induced fatigue, and unplanned disassembly of major components
A nut is a threaded fastener that mates with a bolt or stud to clamp two or more components together, transferring load across the joint and resisting vibration-induced loosening during operation. On heavy refuse and landfill compactors and recycler/stabilizer machines — where ground engagement forces, continuous vibration, and significant operating loads are constant — fastener integrity is critical to keeping structural and mechanical assemblies secure. When a nut fails through stripping, corrosion, or improper specification, the joint loses clamping force, leading to movement, accelerated wear on mating components, and potential failure of the broader assembly it secures.
