The Bomag 05268022 Pivoted Connection is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series refuse and landfill compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Bomag, this pivoted connection delivers the exact geometry and load rating required to keep these heavy-duty machines operating as intended. Compatible across multiple generations of the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, including the -2, -3, and -4 variants, this part covers a wide range of machines in the field. Ordering by part number 05268022 ensures you receive the correct component without guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original pivot joint specifications, ensuring the correct load capacity and articulation range for refuse and landfill compactor duty cycles
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to align with existing mounting points and hardware on the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, allowing straightforward installation without modification
- Broad Generation 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 Reliability Under Load — a worn or failed pivoted connection introduces play into the linkage, leading to uneven compaction force transfer and accelerated wear on adjacent components; a sound pivot restores consistent articulation
A pivoted connection serves as a load-bearing articulation point within the machine's linkage or frame assembly, allowing controlled rotational movement between two joined components while transmitting compressive and tensile forces. On large refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, these joints are subjected to severe shock loading and abrasive operating environments, making the integrity of each pivot critical to steering response and structural stability. When a pivoted connection wears or fails, excessive play develops in the linkage, which compromises control precision and places added stress on surrounding structural members.
