The Bomag 05520153 Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BT-series tampers and BP-series vibratory plates, including the BT 50, BT 55, BT 58, BT 60, BT 60/4, BT 65, BT 65/4, BT 68, BT 70, BT 75, BT 80 D, and BT 80 D - Torso tampers, as well as the BP 10/30, BP 10/35, BP 10/36, and BP 15/45 vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Bomag, this shim carries the same part number 05520153 used in the original factory build, so you can order with confidence that the fit will be correct. Stocking a genuine OEM shim means your machine returns to spec without the guesswork of sizing an aftermarket alternative.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thickness Accuracy — manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances Bomag specifies, ensuring correct spacing and load distribution at the mating surfaces where this shim seats
- Drop-In Replacement — matches the original profile and material grade of the factory-installed shim, slotting into position without additional machining or fitting work
- Broad Bomag Fitment — confirmed for BT-series tampers including the BT 50, BT 60, BT 65, BT 75, BT 80 D, and more, plus BP 10/30, BP 10/35, BP 10/36, and BP 15/45 vibratory plates
- Restores Proper Clearance — a worn or incorrect shim allows unwanted play between components, leading to accelerated wear and loss of compaction efficiency; this part brings clearances back within Bomag's design range
- Authentic Part Number Traceability — part number 05520153 is the Bomag catalog reference, making it straightforward to cross-check against your service manual or parts diagram before ordering
A shim is a precisely dimensioned spacer used to set and maintain the correct clearance or alignment between two mating components inside the machine. In tampers and vibratory plates, shims are commonly found in drive assemblies, crankshaft arrangements, and exciter housings, where controlling the gap between parts is critical to smooth, consistent operation. When a shim wears thin, becomes distorted, or is installed at the wrong thickness, it can introduce vibration, uneven loading, or premature failure of the surrounding components — making it essential to replace with a part that matches the original specification exactly.
