The Wacker Neuson Roller Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 7060, DPU 2440F, DPU 2430F, and DPU 2450F, as well as compatible DPS single-direction vibratory plate models. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this roller tappet is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper valve train operation in the engines powering these machines. Fitment extends across a wide range of DPU and DPS plate compactor configurations, making part number a high-confidence match for the models listed below. Verify your machine number before ordering to ensure correct application.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Train Precision — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact dimensional tolerances, ensuring the roller contacts the cam lobe correctly for consistent valve lift and engine timing.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to seat into the existing tappet bore without rework, maintaining correct installed height and alignment with the camshaft.
- Broad DPU and DPS Compatibility — Fits DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2450F, DPS 2040, and DPS 2050 vibratory plate compactors.
- Protects Engine Performance — A worn or failed roller tappet causes erratic valve timing, rough running, and accelerated camshaft wear; replacing it promptly restores smooth, full-power operation.
- Backed by Wacker Neuson OEM Supply Chain — Supplied as a genuine part, so material grade, surface hardness, and roller bearing quality match the original component specification.
A roller tappet — sometimes called a cam follower — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem (or pushrod) inside the engine, transmitting the rotational motion of the cam lobe into the precise up-and-down movement that opens and closes the engine's valves. The rolling contact surface reduces friction compared to a sliding tappet, protecting both the tappet and the camshaft lobe from premature wear. When a roller tappet wears flat, develops pitting, or the roller seizes, valve timing becomes inconsistent, leading to rough idle, power loss, and the risk of more extensive internal engine damage if left unaddressed.
