The Bomag 05715244 Piston is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and MPH-series recyclers/stabilizers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this piston delivers the exact dimensions and material grade required to restore proper engine or hydraulic cylinder function across compatible machines. Confirmed fitment includes the BC 772 RB, BC 772 RS, BC 672 RB, and BC 1172 RB refuse/landfill compactors, as well as the MPH 121 and MPH 122 recyclers/stabilizers. When a worn or damaged piston is causing loss of compression, power output degradation, or fluid bypass, replacing it with the correct OEM part is the most direct path back to full operating capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision — manufactured to Bomag's exact dimensional tolerances for this engine or cylinder application, ensuring correct compression ratios and sealing surfaces that an imprecise piston would compromise
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original bore diameter, pin bore, and crown profile so this piston installs into the existing cylinder without modification or machining
- Broad Machine Coverage — fits the BC 772 RB, BC 772 RS, BC 672 RB, and BC 1172 RB refuse/landfill compactors, plus the MPH 121 and MPH 122 recyclers/stabilizers under a single part number 05715244
- Restored Power and Efficiency — a correctly spec'd piston maintains the compression seal needed for full combustion efficiency or hydraulic force output, preventing the power loss and fuel inefficiency that a worn piston causes
- Long-Term Engine Integrity — OEM material grade resists heat cycling and mechanical stress inherent to heavy compaction and stabilization cycles, helping the engine or cylinder maintain rated output over extended service intervals
A piston is a core reciprocating component inside an engine cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, converting pressure — from combustion gases or hydraulic fluid — into mechanical force that drives the machine. In an engine application, the piston must maintain a tight seal against the cylinder wall to sustain compression; when it wears, cracks, or loses ring groove integrity, compression drops, fuel consumption rises, and power output falls. In a hydraulic cylinder, a failed piston allows fluid to bypass rather than transmit force, causing sluggish or non-responsive operation. Replacing a damaged piston promptly with the correct OEM part prevents collateral damage to cylinder walls, connecting rods, and associated seals.
