The Bomag 05050495 Steering Cylinder is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the BW 900-50 walk-behind roller. Sourced directly from Bomag, this steering cylinder matches the original component specification, ensuring a direct, correct-fit installation with no guesswork. This is the same part that left the factory floor — built to perform exactly as the original did on your BW 900-50 light roller.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's exact hydraulic pressure tolerances and cylinder bore dimensions, so steering response is consistent and predictable under load
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to match the original mounting points, port fittings, and stroke length of the BW 900-50, so installation drops straight into the existing setup
- Confirmed Fitment — verified for the Bomag BW 900-50 walk-behind roller; reference part number 05050495 when ordering to confirm compatibility
- Restore Full Steering Control — a worn or leaking steering cylinder causes sluggish, uneven, or unresponsive directional control; replacing it restores sharp, operator-responsive handling on every pass
- Hydraulic Seal Quality — internal seals are rated for the operating pressures and fluid temperatures of the BW 900-50's hydraulic system, resisting premature wear and fluid bypass
The steering cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that converts fluid pressure into the mechanical force needed to steer the roller drum or front axle. When the operator turns the handle or activates the steering input, the cylinder extends or retracts to shift the machine's direction smoothly and accurately. A failing steering cylinder — whether due to internal seal wear, hydraulic fluid bypass, or physical damage — results in poor directional control, increased operator effort, and the risk of the machine drifting off the intended compaction line. Replacing it promptly with an OEM-matched component keeps the machine tracking accurately and the operator in full control.
