The Bomag 05818227 Travel Motor is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 161 AC-2, BW 161 AD-2, BW 202 AD-2, and BW 202 AHD-2 tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this travel motor meets the original engineering specifications for these machines, ensuring a correct, direct installation with no guesswork on fitment. If your tandem roller is showing signs of sluggish propulsion, loss of drive, or hydraulic inefficiency, replacing this component with the genuine OEM part is the correct first step toward restoring full machine capability.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Precision — built to Bomag's original hydraulic displacement and torque output specifications, ensuring the travel motor delivers consistent drive force across the full operating speed range of your tandem roller.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original port configuration, shaft dimensions, and mounting interface of the factory travel motor, allowing installation without additional adapters or machining.
- Confirmed Compatibility — fits BW 161 AC-2, BW 161 AD-2, BW 202 AD-2, and BW 202 AHD-2 tandem rollers; verify your model before ordering to ensure an exact match.
- Restored Propulsion Performance — a correctly functioning travel motor maintains steady drum drive and responsive speed control, critical for achieving uniform asphalt compaction passes without scuffing or hesitation.
- Hydraulic System Integrity — the OEM seal and valve tolerances inside this motor help prevent internal bypass and pressure loss, protecting the broader hydrostatic drive circuit from accelerated wear.
The travel motor is the hydraulic-to-mechanical conversion point in a tandem roller's propulsion system. It receives high-pressure hydraulic flow from the drive pump and converts that energy into rotational force to turn the drum or axle, propelling the machine forward and in reverse. When a travel motor degrades internally — through seal wear, cavitation damage, or contamination — the result is reduced ground speed, uneven drive response, or complete loss of propulsion on one or both drums, directly compromising compaction quality and machine control.
