The Bomag 00973108 Silicone Oil is a genuine OEM fluid designed for the BW 172 D-2 single drum roller. Sourced directly from Bomag, this silicone oil meets the exact viscosity and thermal stability requirements specified for the vibratory drum system on the BW 172 D-2. Using the correct OEM fluid ensures the exciter mechanism operates within its designed parameters, protecting the drum assembly from premature wear and performance loss.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Viscosity — formulated to Bomag's exact viscosity grade for the BW 172 D-2 exciter system, ensuring correct fluid film thickness under high-frequency vibration loads
- Genuine Bomag Fluid — sourced directly from Bomag as an authentic OEM product, eliminating any guesswork about fluid compatibility or grade matching
- Direct Application Fit — specified for the BW 172 D-2 single drum roller, so this fluid installs into the correct service point without substitution or adjustment
- Exciter System Protection — correct silicone oil viscosity prevents cavitation and bearing wear inside the vibratory drum assembly, maintaining consistent compaction output
- Thermal Stability Under Load — silicone-based formulation maintains consistent viscosity across the wide operating temperature range typical of vibratory compaction equipment
Silicone oil is the working fluid inside a vibratory drum's exciter unit — the mechanism that generates the high-frequency compaction force delivered through the drum. The oil lubricates and protects the eccentric weight bearings while also transferring heat away from the assembly during continuous operation. When the wrong fluid is used or the oil level drops, vibration output becomes inconsistent, bearing wear accelerates, and the drum assembly can suffer costly internal damage. Keeping part number 00973108 on hand and servicing the exciter at the correct intervals is one of the most straightforward ways to protect the long-term compaction performance of the BW 172 D-2.
