The Bomag 05850079 Steering Cylinder is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 771 RS, BC 772 RS, and BC 772 RS-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this steering cylinder matches the original specification, ensuring a correct, confident installation with no guesswork on fitment. It is the right choice for operators and technicians who need to restore precise hydraulic steering control to their machine and get back to work fast.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Precision — manufactured to Bomag's exact hydraulic tolerances, delivering the correct bore dimensions, seal geometry, and pressure rating required for heavy-cycle refuse compactor steering systems
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to install directly in place of the original unit on BC 771 RS, BC 772 RS, and BC 772 RS-2 compactors, using existing mounting points and hydraulic connections
- Confirmed Fitment — verified for BC 771 RS, BC 772 RS, and BC 772 RS-2 refuse and landfill compactors; cross-reference part number 05850079 before ordering to confirm your machine's configuration
- Full Steering Response Restored — a worn or failed steering cylinder causes sluggish, unresponsive, or uncontrolled articulation, making large compactor operation unsafe; this replacement restores the full hydraulic force needed for accurate machine steering
- Safety-Critical Component — steering integrity is essential on high-tonnage refuse compactors operating on uneven landfill terrain; using a genuine OEM cylinder ensures the system performs within Bomag's designed safety parameters
The steering cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that controls the articulation of the compactor's front and rear frames, allowing the operator to steer the machine across the working surface. It converts hydraulic pressure from the steering circuit into linear force, pushing and pulling the pivot joint to change direction. When this cylinder develops internal leaks, seal failure, or physical damage, steering becomes imprecise or locks up entirely — conditions that are particularly hazardous on large refuse compactors working on sloped or unstable landfill faces.
