Multiquip 17418 Shim Pack Vacuum Pump Pre-Load

The Multiquip 17418 Shim Pack Vacuum Pump Pre-Load is a genuine OEM component designed for MP200-Series masonry saws. This factory-correct shim pack sets the precise pre-load specification on the vacuum pump, ensuring the pump operates within its designed parameters from the moment it is installed. As an authorized Multiquip OEM part, 17418 is an exact match for the original hardware, so there is no guesswork involved in achieving the correct axial load during assembly or service. If you are rebuilding or servicing the vacuum pump on your MP200-Series saw, this is the shim pack your machine was built with.

Key Features

• Correct Pre-Load Tolerance: — Manufactured to the same axial pre-load specification as the original, ensuring the vacuum pump runs without excessive play or overloading of internal components.
• Genuine OEM Construction: — Produced by Multiquip to match the original material grade and thickness tolerances of the factory shim pack — no approximations or substitutions.
• Direct Service Replacement: — Installs exactly as the original shim pack during vacuum pump disassembly and reassembly on MP200-Series masonry saws, following the same service procedure.
• Preserves Pump Longevity: — Correct pre-load prevents premature bearing wear, shaft migration, and seal failure that result from improperly shimmed pump assemblies.
• MP200-Series Fitment: — Confirmed for Multiquip MP200-Series masonry saws; always cross-reference part number 17418 against your machine's service manual before ordering.

The vacuum pump pre-load shim pack controls the axial force applied to the pump's rotating assembly during installation. Setting the correct pre-load is critical — too little allows shaft movement that causes vibration and accelerated bearing wear, while too much pre-load creates excessive friction, heat, and premature component failure. When servicing or rebuilding the vacuum pump on an MP200-Series masonry saw, using the correct shim pack thickness ensures the assembly is returned to its original operating specification, maintaining consistent suction performance and extending the service life of the pump.
