The Bomag 05520903 Shim is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for Bomag BW-series tandem rollers and walk-behind light rollers, including the BW 164 AD, BW 184 AD, BW 174 AD AM, BW 174 AC AM, BW 170 AD, BW 154 AD-2, BW 144 AD-2, and BW 75 E, among others. Sourced directly from Bomag, this shim matches the exact thickness and material specification of the original factory part, ensuring correct clearance and alignment in the assembly where it is installed. This is a genuine OEM part, which means it carries the same quality standard as the component that came with your machine from the factory. Confirmed fitment spans the full range of BW-series tandem rollers and the BW 75 E walk-behind light roller listed in the compatibility data below.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thickness Accuracy — manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerance Bomag specifies, so this shim delivers the correct spacing and clearance in the target assembly without adjustment or rework
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original part profile and material grade, allowing straightforward installation in place of the worn or damaged shim
- Broad BW-Series Coverage — fits a wide range of Bomag tandem rollers including the BW 164 AD, BW 184 AD, BW 174 AD AM, BW 174 AC AM, BW 170 AD, BW 154 AD-2, BW 144 AD-2, BW 184 AD-2, BW 174 AD-2 AM, BW 174 AC-2 AM, BW 170 AD-2 AM, BW 170 AP AM, BW 174 AP-AM, BW 174 ACP-AM, BW 184 AD-2 AM, and the BW 75 E walk-behind light roller
- Preserves Correct Component Alignment — an improperly spaced or missing shim causes unwanted play, misalignment, or uneven load distribution in the surrounding assembly, accelerating wear on adjacent parts
- Verified Bomag Part Number — order with confidence using part number 05520903 to confirm you are receiving the exact shim specified for your machine
A shim is a precisely sized spacer inserted between mating components to set or restore the correct gap, alignment, or preload within an assembly. In tandem rollers and walk-behind rollers, shims are commonly used to control bearing preload, gear mesh spacing, and component stack height — small differences in thickness have a direct effect on how loads are distributed across moving parts. When a shim wears down, deforms, or is omitted during reassembly, the affected components can develop excess play or misalignment, leading to accelerated wear, vibration, noise, or premature failure of the surrounding assembly. Replacing a worn shim with a correct-specification part like this one restores the original clearance values and protects the integrity of the whole assembly.
