The Bomag 05272167 Spherical Plain Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for the BC 972 RB refuse/landfill compactor. Sourced directly from Bomag, this bearing meets the original engineering specifications required to keep the BC 972 RB running at peak operating capacity. If you're servicing or rebuilding a BC 972 RB and need an exact-match replacement, part number 05272167 is the correct OEM solution.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Bearing Tolerances — manufactured to Bomag's original load ratings and angular misalignment specifications, ensuring the bearing performs exactly as the machine was engineered to demand
- Direct OEM Replacement — matches the original mounting dimensions and housing interface of the BC 972 RB, allowing straightforward installation without reworking mating components
- Confirmed Fitment — verified for the BC 972 RB refuse/landfill compactor; cross-reference part number 05272167 before ordering to confirm correct application
- Sustained Load Handling — spherical plain bearings absorb angular misalignment and heavy radial and axial loads simultaneously, which is critical in the high-stress operating environment of a landfill compactor
- Wear Resistance Under Harsh Conditions — designed to withstand the contamination, shock loading, and continuous articulation cycles typical of refuse and landfill compaction work
A spherical plain bearing allows rotational and angular movement between two connected components while carrying significant load. In heavy compaction equipment like the BC 972 RB, these bearings are commonly found at pivot points — such as steering linkages, articulation joints, and arm connections — where movement and force combine continuously. When a spherical plain bearing wears out, it introduces play into the joint, causing imprecise machine response, accelerated wear on surrounding components, and eventually structural stress on the joint itself. Replacing a failed bearing promptly with the correct OEM part restores the tight, controlled movement the machine depends on to operate safely and accurately across demanding landfill surfaces.
