The Bomag 05973080 Water Level Sensor is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BW 170, BW 174, BW 180, and BW 184 series tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this sensor carries the same specification as the part that left the factory, ensuring an exact match for the machines it serves. This water level sensor fits a wide range of tandem roller variants, including the BW 174 AD, BW 174 AC, BW 174 AP, BW 180 AD, BW 184 AD, BW 184 AD-2, and BW 170 AD, among others covered in the fitment list. When the original sensor fails, replacing it with a verified OEM part eliminates the guesswork and gets the machine back to work with confidence.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sensing Accuracy — manufactured to Bomag's original electrical output specification, so the sensor reads water levels with the same precision as the factory-installed unit
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original mounting configuration and connector interface, allowing straightforward installation without modification
- Broad Tandem Roller Coverage — fits BW 170, BW 174, BW 180, and BW 184 series tandem rollers, including AC, AD, AP, and AM variants across multiple generations
- Protects the Drum Wetting System — an accurate water level reading keeps the spray system operating correctly, preventing dry-drum contact that leads to asphalt pickup and surface defects
- Verified Part Number Fit — ordering by Bomag part number 05973080 confirms you receive the correct sensor for the machines listed, eliminating costly mis-orders
The water level sensor monitors the volume of water in the roller's drum wetting tank and signals the operator or control system when levels drop below the threshold needed for proper drum dampening. On tandem asphalt rollers, consistent drum wetting is essential — without it, hot asphalt sticks to the drum surface, causing mat tears, uneven compaction, and costly rework. When this sensor fails or sends incorrect readings, the spray system can run dry without warning, so replacing a faulty unit promptly with a genuine OEM sensor keeps the drum wetting system functioning as intended and protects the quality of the finished mat.
