The Bomag 05272173 Spherical Plain Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors, including models BC 601 RS, BC 670 RB, BC 570 RB, BC 672 RB, BC 601 RB, BC 771 RB. Sourced directly from Bomag, this spherical plain bearing meets the same dimensional and load tolerances as the original factory-installed component. It delivers a direct, exact-fit installation with no guesswork, keeping your compactor running at full capacity across demanding landfill and soil compaction cycles.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tolerancing — manufactured to Bomag's original dimensional and load-rating specifications, ensuring the bearing articulates correctly under the heavy dynamic forces common in refuse and soil compaction work
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original mounting geometry of part number 05272173, fitting the same housing and mating surfaces without machining or shimming
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits a wide range of Bomag BC-series refuse/landfill compactors (RB and RS models) and soil compactors (EB models), from the BC 462 RB through the BC 1172 RB-4 and BC 473 EB-4
- Articulation Under Load — spherical plain bearings handle misalignment and angular movement in pivot joints; a worn or seized bearing causes accelerated wear on surrounding linkage components and increases stress on structural pins
- Long-Cycle Durability — built to withstand the continuous shock loading and contaminated operating environments typical of landfill and earthmoving compactor applications
A spherical plain bearing is a pivot-joint component that allows rotational movement and angular misalignment between two connected parts — typically in steering linkages, articulation joints, or working-tool pivot points on heavy compactors. Unlike a standard ball bearing, it is designed to carry radial and axial loads simultaneously while accommodating slight angular shifts, which is essential on large compactors working over uneven terrain. When a spherical plain bearing wears out, the joint develops excessive play, leading to imprecise steering response, accelerated pin and bore wear, and potential structural damage if left unaddressed.
