The Bomag 05817029 Vibration Motor is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 177, BW 178, and BW 179 series single drum rollers, as well as the BW 161 AC-4 tandem roller. Sourced directly from Bomag, this vibration motor meets the exact specifications of the original unit it replaces, ensuring consistent compaction output across compatible machines. Verified fitment covers a wide range of BW 177 variants — including the BW 177 D-3, BW 177 DH-3, BW 177 PDH-3, BW 177 D-4, BW 177 DH-40, BW 177 PDH-40, BW 177 D-50, BW 177 DH-50, BW 177 PDH-50, BW 177 DHC-4, BW 177 PDHC-4, and BW 177 D-3 USA variants — along with the BW 178 D-3, BW 179 DHC-4, BW 179 PDHC-4, and BW 161 AC-4.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Hydraulic Output — built to the original flow and pressure specifications required to drive the drum's eccentric shaft at the correct vibratory frequency and amplitude
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to the same port configuration and mounting dimensions as the factory unit, allowing straightforward installation on compatible BW 177, BW 178, and BW 179 single drum rollers and the BW 161 AC-4 tandem roller
- Broad Series Coverage — fits multiple generation variants across the BW 177 lineup, including -3, -4, -40, -50, DHC-4, and PDHC-4 configurations, as well as USA-spec models
- Restored Compaction Force — a fully functioning vibration motor delivers consistent drum excitation, maintaining the compaction energy needed to meet material density specifications on soil compaction work
- Genuine Bomag Part — as an authentic OEM component, part number 05817029 carries the manufacturing tolerances and material standards set by Bomag for this motor assembly
The vibration motor is a hydraulic motor that drives the eccentric weight assembly mounted inside the compaction drum. As the eccentric weight rotates at high speed, it generates the vibratory force that the drum transfers into the ground, breaking down air voids and achieving the required soil density. When the vibration motor wears or fails, drum vibration weakens or stops entirely, causing the roller to operate as a static machine and fall short of compaction targets — leading to failed density tests and rework on the job.
