The Bomag 05570697 Shock Absorber is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors, including the BC 672 RB, BC 772 RB, BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 473 RB-4, BC 772 EB-2, BC 772 EB-4, BC 473 EB-4, and BC 473 EB-3, among the full range of covered variants. Sourced directly from Bomag, this shock absorber carries the same part number 05570697 used in BOMAG's own service and parts documentation, so you can order with confidence that it matches your machine's original specification. This replacement is compatible across multiple BC-series generations — from RB and RS refuse/landfill compactors to EB soil compactors — making it a practical stock item for fleet operators running mixed BC-series equipment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Damping Performance — manufactured to the original hydraulic damping specification for BC-series compactors, delivering the same load absorption and travel control as the factory-installed unit
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — mounting geometry and attachment points match the original exactly, allowing straightforward installation without machining or adaptation
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits a wide range of Bomag refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors including BC 473, BC 572, BC 672, BC 772, BC 972, and BC 1172 variants across RB, RS, and EB model lines
- Structural Protection Under Heavy Load — a correctly functioning shock absorber limits shock transmission to the frame and cab, protecting chassis components from accelerated fatigue on demanding landfill and compaction sites
- Operator Comfort and Machine Control — worn or failed shock absorbers increase cab vibration and reduce steering stability; replacing with part number 05570697 restores intended ride control and operator feel
A shock absorber dampens the impact and vibration forces generated as a compactor travels across uneven landfill, refuse, or soil terrain. It works by converting kinetic energy from sudden jolts into controlled resistance, cushioning the frame, cab, and operator from the full force of those impacts. When a shock absorber wears out or fails, vibration increases noticeably at the operator station, frame stress rises, and steering response can become imprecise — all of which accelerate wear on surrounding components and reduce operator effectiveness on long compaction shifts.
