The Bomag 72350242 Pillow Block is a genuine OEM component designed for the BMP 851 trench compactor. Sourced directly from Bomag, this pillow block matches the original manufacturer's specifications, ensuring a correct, confident installation with no guesswork. Operators running BMP 851 trench compactors can rely on part number 72350242 to restore proper shaft support and keep the machine performing at full capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Housing Integrity — Manufactured to Bomag's original bearing-housing tolerances, ensuring proper load distribution and shaft alignment specific to this pillow block application.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting footprint and bore dimensions of the BMP 851, allowing straightforward installation against existing hardware.
- Confirmed BMP 851 Fitment — Verified for use on the BMP 851 trench compactor, eliminating compatibility uncertainty before the part arrives on site.
- Sustained Shaft Support — A properly functioning pillow block keeps the rotating shaft seated and aligned; a worn or cracked housing accelerates bearing failure and causes costly drivetrain damage.
- Authentic Bomag Parts Sourcing — Supplied as a genuine OEM part through DHS Equipment, backed by Bomag's original quality standards for heavy compaction equipment.
A pillow block is a self-contained bearing housing unit that supports a rotating shaft and anchors it to the machine's frame. It keeps the shaft running true under the heavy vibration and lateral loads generated during trench compaction — conditions that place significant stress on bearing assemblies. When a pillow block housing cracks, wears, or loses its alignment, the shaft runs out of true, accelerating bearing wear and eventually causing drivetrain damage that sidelines the machine entirely.
