The Bomag 05718178 Socket-Head Cap Screw is a genuine OEM fastener designed for Bomag cold milling machines, refuse/landfill compactors, and recycler/stabilizer units — including the BM 2000/60, BM 2000/60-2, BC 972 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-2, MPH 125, and MPH 600. As a factory-sourced component, this screw meets the exact dimensional and material specifications Bomag engineers specified for these platforms. Drop-in replacement — no reworking or modification needed to achieve a flush, torque-rated installation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Spec — sourced directly from Bomag, this screw matches the precise thread pitch, shank diameter, and head geometry required for critical assembly points on these machines
- Exact Socket-Head Profile — the internal hex drive allows high-torque installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where conventional hex-head bolts won't reach
- Broad Cross-Platform Fitment — confirmed for Bomag BM 2000/60 and BM 2000/60-2 cold milling machines, BC 972 RB-2 and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse/landfill compactors, and MPH 125 and MPH 600 recycler/stabilizer units
- Torque Integrity Under Load — a properly specified OEM cap screw maintains clamping force across vibration-heavy operating cycles, preventing fastener back-out and assembly loosening in heavy-duty compaction and milling applications
- Correct Part, First Time — ordering by Bomag part number 05718178 eliminates the risk of substituting an incorrect grade or thread spec that could compromise joint integrity
A socket-head cap screw is a precision fastener used to clamp and secure structural or mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, high-strength connection is required. The internal hex socket allows a hex key or Allen driver to apply consistent torque in confined spaces — common on heavy equipment where covers, housings, and mechanical components sit close together. When a cap screw is missing, stripped, or replaced with an incorrect specification, the joint loses its designed clamping load, which can lead to component movement, accelerated wear on mating surfaces, and potential structural failure in high-vibration environments like milling drums and compactor drives.
