BOMAG BW 138 AC-5 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 138 AC-5 is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction and asphalt patching, ideal for footpaths, repair work, and small to medium construction projects. It features dual smooth steel drums, each 3 feet in diameter and 54.3 inches in width, providing a static linear load of 83.2 pounds per inch to ensure effective ground compaction. The high centrifugal force of 12,814 lbs combined with vibration frequencies ranging from 42 to 56 VPM delivers optimal soil density with nominal amplitudes of 0.1 inches. Powered by a four-cylinder Kubota V2403 water-cooled diesel engine, it produces 45.1 hp at 2400 rpm, ensuring reliable performance and fuel efficiency from its 14.5-gallon fuel capacity. The BW 138 AC-5 operates at a top speed of 6.2 mph and is equipped with hydrostatic service and Hydromec parking brakes for safety and precision control. Its hydrostatic oscillatory articulated steering system offers a turning radius of 103 inches and oscillation angle of 2.8 degrees, providing excellent maneuverability on uneven terrain. The roller has a ground clearance of 13.4 inches, overall length of 111.8 inches, and width of 4.9 feet, weighing approximately 9,039 lbs operating weight (grossweight 9,480 lbs). The machine rides on 10.5/80-16 tires, offering stability and traction across varied sites. Additional features include pressure sprinkler system for drum wetting and intelligent vibration control for enhanced compaction consistency. This model combines advanced engineering with user-friendly operation for high productivity and durability in diverse compaction tasks.
