The Bomag 05816004 Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BW 1050 T, BW 850 T, BW 850 TR, and BW 85 T trench compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this shim delivers the exact thickness and material specification required to maintain correct spacing and alignment within the assembly. It is a direct, like-for-like replacement that installs to OEM tolerances without alteration. Operators managing a fleet of BW-series trench compactors can order with confidence knowing part number 05816004 matches the original fitment exactly.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thickness Accuracy — manufactured to Bomag's exact dimensional specification, ensuring the shim provides the correct spacing and load distribution for this application
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original profile and material grade, seating correctly within the assembly without machining or adjustment
- Confirmed Fitment — verified for BW 1050 T, BW 850 T, BW 850 TR, and BW 85 T trench compactors
- Protects Mating Components — proper shimming prevents uneven wear on adjacent parts, extending the service life of the surrounding assembly
- Critical Alignment Control — even minor spacing errors in high-load compaction equipment can cause vibration, premature wear, or mechanical failure; the correct shim keeps the drivetrain or drum assembly operating within design tolerances
A shim is a precisely dimensioned spacer used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align mating components within a mechanical assembly. In trench compactors like the BW 850 T and BW 1050 T, shims are used to control the exact positional relationship between moving parts — ensuring that loads are transferred evenly and that components seat flush against one another. When a shim wears down, deforms, or is installed at the wrong thickness, the resulting misalignment can accelerate wear on bearings, housings, and drive components, ultimately leading to more costly repairs if not addressed promptly.
