The Bomag 05570731 Bowden Cable is a genuine OEM component designed for BC-series refuse and landfill compactors and soil compactors, including the BC 772 RB-4, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB-4, BC 473 RB-4, BC 672 RB-4, BC 772 RS-4, BC 473 RS-4, BC 772 EB-4, BC 473 EB-4, BC 672 EB-2, BC 772 EB-2, and multiple -2 and -3 generation BC-series machines. Sourced directly from Bomag, this Bowden Cable matches the original part exactly — same routing, length, and end fittings as the cable it replaces. If your BC-series compactor is showing sluggish, unresponsive, or stuck control action, replacing the Bowden Cable with part number 05570731 restores crisp, dependable operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Cable Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original specifications for inner wire gauge, outer sheath flexibility, and end-fitting dimensions, ensuring the same feel and response as the factory-installed cable
- Direct OEM Replacement — this Bowden Cable installs into BC-series compactors using the original mounting points and end connectors, with no rerouting or trimming needed
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits refuse and landfill compactors including the BC 473 RB-4, BC 672 RB-4, BC 772 RB-4, BC 972 RB-4, and BC 1172 RB-4, as well as BC-series soil compactors such as the BC 473 EB-4 and BC 772 EB-4, across -2, -3, and -4 generation machines
- Restored Control Response — a worn or frayed Bowden Cable causes stiff, delayed, or non-functioning control inputs; replacing this cable restores smooth, consistent mechanical actuation to keep the operator in full control of the machine
- Operator Safety — on heavy compaction equipment, a failed or binding cable can prevent critical control inputs from reaching their intended mechanism; using the correct OEM replacement cable maintains the integrity of that control path
A Bowden Cable transmits mechanical control inputs — such as throttle, choke, or auxiliary function commands — from the operator's controls to the corresponding mechanical component on the machine. It consists of a flexible inner wire that slides within a protective outer sheath, allowing motion to be directed around bends without loss of force or accuracy. Over time, the inner wire can fray or stretch and the sheath can kink or crack, causing sluggish response, control sticking, or complete loss of function in the linked system. Replacing the cable promptly with the correct OEM part restores full control authority and prevents secondary damage to the connected components.
