The Wacker Neuson Exciter Control Rod Long is a genuine OEM component designed for the RS800 series single drum vibratory rollers, including the RS800A, RSS800A, RS800H, RS800V, and RS800 (without engine) models. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. It is a direct replacement for the long exciter control rod position across the full RS800 platform, covering both walk-behind and standard configurations. Confirm your machine's model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure an accurate match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to the original dimensional and material specifications for the exciter control linkage, ensuring correct travel, engagement feel, and mechanical response across the RS800 series.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to the same length and connection points as the original long rod, so it installs into existing mounting positions without rework or fabrication.
- Broad RS800 Series Coverage: — Compatible with RS800A, RSS800A, RS800H, RS800V, and RS800 (without engine) single drum vibratory rollers across multiple machine configurations.
- Maintains Exciter Amplitude Control: — A correctly functioning exciter control rod allows the operator to adjust vibration amplitude precisely, which is critical for achieving consistent compaction depth and density across asphalt and soil surfaces.
- Operational Safety Relevance: — A worn or damaged exciter control rod can result in loss of amplitude control or unintended vibration changes during operation; replacing it promptly restores full operator control over the machine's compaction output.
The exciter control rod is part of the mechanical linkage that connects the operator's amplitude control input to the drum's eccentric vibration mechanism. On single drum vibratory rollers like the RS800 series, controlling exciter amplitude lets the operator tailor compaction force to the material being worked — whether finishing a top asphalt lift or conditioning a subbase layer. When the rod is bent, worn at connection points, or broken, the operator loses the ability to reliably adjust or engage the exciter, which compromises compaction uniformity and can put stress on surrounding drivetrain components.
