The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Shim designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 6055, DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2440H, and DPU 2450F series, as well as select single-direction vibratory plates and the RD10 tandem roller. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the component installed during original manufacture. Fitment spans multiple DPU variants and related compaction equipment, making a versatile service part for fleet operators and equipment technicians alike.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original thickness tolerances, ensuring correct spacing and load distribution at the installation point.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original shim profile exactly, seating correctly within the drivetrain or exciter assembly without rework or shimming adjustment.
- Broad DPU Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 6055, DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2440H, DPU 2450F, DPS2040, DPS2050, and RD10 equipment.
- Preserves Alignment and Bearing Life — A correctly fitted shim maintains proper component alignment; a worn or incorrectly sized shim accelerates bearing and shaft wear and can cause vibration imbalance.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as an authentic OEM component, verified against part number 5000014479 for accurate identification and ordering confidence.
A shim is a precisely machined spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance, alignment, or preload between two mating components — typically within a drivetrain, exciter housing, or bearing assembly. In a reversible vibratory plate compactor, maintaining exact tolerances between rotating and stationary parts is critical to smooth vibration output and even compaction force across the drum or plate. When a shim wears thin, becomes deformed, or is missing entirely, misalignment follows — leading to accelerated wear on surrounding bearings, uneven vibration, and potential damage to the exciter unit. Replacing a worn shim with the correct OEM part restores the designed clearance and protects the components around it.
