The Bomag 05711498 Piston Ring Set is a genuine OEM component designed for the BW 172 D-2 single drum roller. Sourced directly from Bomag, this piston ring set delivers the exact dimensional tolerances and material grade required to restore proper engine sealing in your machine. It is a direct replacement for the original set, engineered to match the bore specifications and ring groove geometry of the BW 172 D-2 engine. Confirming part number 05711498 against your machine's service documentation before installation is always recommended to ensure a correct match.
Key Features
- OEM Compression Sealing — manufactured to Bomag's original ring thickness and tension specifications, ensuring the correct combustion seal that keeps cylinder pressure where it belongs
- Direct Engine Replacement — engineered to seat into the original piston ring grooves of the BW 172 D-2 without reworking or adapting any engine components
- Single Drum Roller Fitment — confirmed fit for the BW 172 D-2 single drum roller, giving you confidence when sourcing this part for that machine
- Restored Oil Control — properly seated rings prevent oil from entering the combustion chamber, protecting the engine from excessive oil consumption and carbon buildup
- Genuine Bomag OEM Quality — produced to the same material and hardness standards as the original rings, supporting consistent engine wear rates and long service intervals
Piston rings seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall, performing three critical jobs: containing combustion pressure to drive the piston, controlling the thin film of oil that lubricates the cylinder bore, and transferring heat away from the piston into the cylinder wall. When rings wear, crack, or lose tension, combustion gases blow past the piston — a condition known as blowby — causing a loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and rising oil use. Left unaddressed, worn rings accelerate cylinder wall wear and can lead to significant engine damage, making timely replacement essential for keeping a BW 172 D-2 single drum roller operating at full compaction output.
