The Wacker Neuson 5000070990 is a genuine OEM Valve Tappet designed for AP, BPS, and VP series vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this tappet is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by the engine fitted to these machines, ensuring correct valve train geometry and consistent engine behavior. Compatible across a wide range of models including the AP 1135A, AP 1550A, AP 1550AW, BPS1030A, BPS1135A, BPS1340A, BPS1550A, BPS2050A, VP1030A, VP1135A, and VP 1135AW, among others. Sourcing the genuine Wacker Neuson part means you can be confident the tappet matches the original profile and hardness specification.
Key Features
- Correct Valve Train Geometry: — Manufactured to OEM profile and hardness spec, maintaining precise contact between the camshaft lobe and valve stem for accurate valve lift and timing.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this tappet is an exact match to the original component installed at the factory — no guesswork on fit or material grade.
- Broad Compactor Series Coverage: — Fits AP battery-powered plate compactors, BPS single-direction vibratory plates, and VP vibratory plate compactors across multiple regional variants including US and EU configurations.
- Sustained Engine Output: — A correctly functioning tappet keeps valves opening and closing at the right stroke, preserving full engine power delivery to the exciter and compaction plate.
- Engine Longevity: — Worn or incorrect tappets cause excessive valve clearance, accelerated wear on camshaft lobes, and eventual loss of compression — replacing at the first sign of ticking or power loss protects the engine long-term.
A valve tappet — also called a cam follower or lifter — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem inside the engine. As the camshaft rotates, each lobe pushes against the tappet, which transfers that motion to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at precisely the right moment. When a tappet wears down, becomes pitted, or loses its correct profile, valve timing drifts, the engine may run rough or lose compression, and a distinctive ticking noise often develops. Replacing a worn tappet promptly with the correct OEM part restores proper valve operation and prevents secondary damage to the camshaft and cylinder head.
