The Bomag 57110509 Pillow Block is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this pillow block delivers an exact factory fit across all covered variants, including the BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4. As a genuine OEM part, it is manufactured to the same standards as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring proper alignment and load-bearing performance from the moment it is installed. When it comes to heavy-duty landfill compactor maintenance, using part number 57110509 eliminates the guesswork of fitment and keeps your machine performing as designed.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Bearing Housing Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original specifications, ensuring the bearing bore dimensions and mounting geometry are correct for sustained load transfer in demanding landfill and refuse compaction cycles
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — mounts to the existing housing points on covered BC-series compactors with no fabrication or modification, preserving correct shaft alignment on installation
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits 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, and BC 1172 RB-4 refuse and landfill compactors
- Structural Load Support — a correctly functioning pillow block maintains proper shaft positioning under the extreme vibration and shock loads generated during compaction; a worn or failed unit accelerates bearing and shaft damage throughout the drivetrain
- Verified Part Number Confidence — order by Bomag part number 57110509 for accurate fitment on every machine variant listed above
A pillow block is a mounted bearing housing that supports a rotating shaft at a fixed point on the machine's frame or structural member. It keeps the shaft centered and absorbs radial and axial loads generated during operation, allowing the drivetrain or working assembly to rotate smoothly and consistently. On heavy refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, pillow blocks are subjected to significant shock loading and contamination; when the housing cracks, wears out of tolerance, or the bearing seat degrades, vibration increases, shaft misalignment follows, and accelerated wear spreads to adjacent components — making timely replacement critical to keeping the drivetrain intact.
