The Wacker Neuson Roller Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU and DPS series reversible and single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2450F, DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPS2040, and DPS2050. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Wacker Neuson for proper valve train operation in these compaction machines. This tappet matches the original specification for a drop-in installation without modification to the engine assembly. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure a correct match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Train Tolerance — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact roller geometry and surface hardness specifications, ensuring correct lift profile and minimal wear against the camshaft lobe.
- Direct Engine Fit — Engineered to seat correctly in the tappet bore of compatible DPU and DPS engines, reinstalling the same way as the original part with no bore modification needed.
- Broad DPU and DPS Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Wacker Neuson reversible vibratory plate compactors, from the 24 kN DPU 2430F and DPU 2440F through to the heavy-duty 70 kN DPU 7060 and DPU 7060SC remote-control models, as well as DPS2040 and DPS2050 single-direction plates.
- Smooth Valve Actuation — A correctly functioning roller tappet maintains consistent valve timing, supporting full engine power output and clean throttle response during compaction work.
- Long Service Life Under Load — The roller design reduces sliding friction against the cam surface compared to a flat tappet, extending service intervals and protecting the camshaft from accelerated wear.
A roller tappet is the interface between the engine's camshaft and its intake or exhaust valves. As the camshaft rotates, each lobe pushes against the tappet, which in turn actuates the valve to allow air and fuel in or exhaust gases out. The roller on the tappet face reduces friction at this contact point, which is essential in a small engine that runs under continuous load as a vibratory plate compactor cycles. When a tappet wears flat, develops pitting, or loses its roller, valve lift becomes inconsistent — leading to hard starting, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and, if left uncorrected, damage to the camshaft itself.
