The Bomag 05818230 Travel Motor is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 161 AD-2, BW 202 AD-2, and BW 202 AHD-2 tandem rollers. As a direct Bomag OEM part, this travel motor is manufactured to the same specification as the unit it replaces, ensuring hydraulic compatibility and proper torque delivery within the drive system. This part is the correct fitment for the BW 161 AD-2, BW 202 AD-2, and BW 202 AHD-2 — confirming the right component when reliability on the mat is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Precision — manufactured to Bomag's original displacement and pressure ratings, maintaining the hydraulic circuit balance this travel motor is engineered to meet
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original port configuration, mounting interface, and shaft dimensions for a clean swap into the BW 161 AD-2, BW 202 AD-2, and BW 202 AHD-2 tandem roller drive system
- Verified Tandem Roller Fitment — confirmed for Bomag BW 161 AD-2, BW 202 AD-2, and BW 202 AHD-2 tandem rollers, so you order with confidence and avoid costly mis-application
- Restored Propulsion Performance — a worn or failed travel motor causes sluggish or uneven roller travel, loss of traction control, and inconsistent mat compaction; this replacement restores full drive response
- Authorized Bomag Part — sourced as genuine OEM, meaning the part number 05818230 carries the same traceability and quality control as original factory production
The travel motor is a hydraulic rotary actuator that converts pressurized fluid from the machine's hydraulic system into rotational force to drive the roller's wheels or drums forward and in reverse. On tandem rollers like the BW 202 AD-2, proper travel motor function is critical for consistent ground speed, smooth directional changes, and uniform compaction passes across the asphalt mat. When the travel motor begins to wear or fail, operators typically notice reduced drive force, sluggish response, or a machine that pulls to one side — all of which compromise paving quality and crew productivity.
