The Bomag 05722986 Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the BMP 851 trench compactor. Sourced directly from Bomag, this tappet matches the exact specifications of the original part, ensuring proper valve train operation in the engine. It is a direct, like-for-like replacement for the BMP 851, so installation is straightforward with no guesswork on fitment or compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Train Precision — manufactured to Bomag's exact tolerances for consistent contact geometry and correct lift characteristics critical to engine performance
- Direct Replacement for the BMP 851 — verified fit for the BMP 851 trench compactor using part number 05722986, dropping in exactly as the original did
- Protects Camshaft and Valve Components — a correctly functioning tappet distributes load evenly across mating surfaces, preventing accelerated wear on the cam lobe and valve stem
- Maintains Proper Valve Timing — correct tappet geometry preserves engine timing accuracy, keeping combustion efficiency and output where they need to be on the job
- Long-Term Engine Integrity — using a genuine Bomag tappet prevents the micro-pitting and surface fatigue that worn or incorrect replacements introduce into the valve train
A tappet — also called a valve lifter — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem in the engine's valve train. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet transmits that motion to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at precisely the right moment. When a tappet wears down or loses its correct surface profile, valve timing becomes erratic, combustion suffers, and internal engine wear accelerates — ultimately leading to costly engine damage if left unaddressed.
