The Bomag 05011718 Temperature Warning Switch is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 177 D-40, BW 177 D-50, BW 177 DH-50, and BW 177 PDH-50 single drum rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this switch meets the exact electrical and thermal specifications of the original part. It installs directly into the machine's monitoring circuit, restoring proper temperature alerting without adaptation or guesswork. Operators running BW 177-series single drum rollers can order with confidence — part number 05011718 is the correct OEM replacement for this application.
Key Features
- OEM-Calibrated Switching Threshold — triggers at the correct temperature setpoint to match the BW 177's original engine protection logic, ensuring alerts fire when they should
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to the same connector, thread, and housing dimensions as the original, so this switch seats and wires exactly as the factory unit did
- Broad BW 177 Series Coverage — fits BW 177 D-40, BW 177 D-50, BW 177 DH-50, and BW 177 PDH-50 single drum rollers across multiple generation variants
- Critical Overheat Protection — a failed or sluggish temperature warning switch can allow engine overheating to go undetected, risking serious mechanical damage; this genuine OEM part restores reliable alerting
- Safety-Relevant Component — temperature warning systems are a front-line defense against thermal events; using a correctly rated OEM switch ensures the warning system responds within the design parameters Bomag specifies
The temperature warning switch monitors coolant or hydraulic fluid temperature and sends a signal to the machine's warning system when a critical threshold is reached, alerting the operator before heat-related damage can occur. On heavy single drum rollers like the BW 177 series, sustained compaction work places significant thermal load on the engine and hydraulic circuits, making a properly functioning switch essential to safe operation. When this switch fails or drifts out of calibration, overheat warnings may be delayed or absent entirely, leaving the machine — and the operator — without an early warning of a developing problem.
