The Bomag 05579495 Temperature Sensor is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BC 473-series refuse/landfill compactors, BC 473-series soil compactors, and RS-series recyclers/stabilizers. As a direct OEM replacement, this sensor carries Bomag's own specifications, ensuring the machine's control system receives accurate thermal readings without recalibration or guesswork. This temperature sensor is confirmed to fit the BC 473 RB-3, BC 473 RB-4, BC 473 RS-4, BC 473 EB-3, BC 473 EB-4, RS 460, RS460 STAGE V, and RS 500.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Signal Accuracy — built to Bomag's exact resistance and output tolerances, so the engine management system receives precise thermal data rather than drifted or approximated readings
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original connector, thread pitch, and mounting configuration for a straightforward swap with no wiring adapters or bracket modifications
- Broad BC 473 and RS-Series Coverage — fits BC 473 RB-3, BC 473 RB-4, BC 473 RS-4, BC 473 EB-3, BC 473 EB-4 compactors and RS 460, RS460 STAGE V, and RS 500 recyclers/stabilizers
- Protects Against Thermal Overload — a properly functioning sensor triggers cooling or shutdown responses before heat damage can reach the engine or hydraulic system, guarding against costly internal failures
- Emissions and Safety Compliance — accurate temperature reporting is required for correct Tier- and Stage-compliant engine operation; a faulty sensor can trigger fault codes, derate performance, or mask developing overheating conditions
A temperature sensor monitors coolant, hydraulic fluid, or exhaust temperatures and relays that data to the machine's electronic control unit. The ECU uses these readings to regulate engine load, cooling fan speed, and emissions aftertreatment — all of which keep the machine running within safe operating limits. When a temperature sensor fails or drifts out of calibration, the ECU may receive false readings that either allow the machine to run too hot without warning or trigger unnecessary shutdowns, both of which interrupt productivity and risk component damage. Replacing a worn sensor with a genuine Bomag part restores the integrity of the machine's thermal monitoring and keeps every downstream system responding correctly.
