The Wacker Neuson Shims Set is a genuine OEM component designed for DS70 and DS720 diesel vibratory rammers, as well as select VPY and DPU reversible vibratory plate compactors and PT centrifugal trash pumps. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this shims set matches the exact material grade and dimensional tolerances of the original hardware installed at the factory. It is compatible across a broad range of DS70 and DS720 configurations — including 280 mm/11 in and 330 mm/13 in shoe variants — along with VPY1740, VPY1750, VP2050Y, DPS1850Y, DPU 2950Y, and PT2Y/PT3Y pump models. Keeping the correct shim stack in place is essential for proper clearance and alignment; worn or missing shims can lead to accelerated wear on adjoining components and reduced machine performance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact thickness tolerances, ensuring correct clearance and alignment across all listed applications.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to seat exactly as the original shims, with no rework or custom fitting needed during installation.
- Broad Cross-Family Compatibility — Fits DS70 and DS720 diesel rammers, VPY1740, VPY1750, VP2050Y, DPS1850Y, DPU 2950Y vibratory plates, and PT2Y/PT3Y trash pumps under part number 5000073610.
- Protects Adjacent Components — Correct shim thickness maintains proper component spacing, preventing premature wear on shafts, bearings, and housings.
- OEM Confidence for Critical Tolerances — Because shims govern internal clearances, using a genuine Wacker Neuson part eliminates the risk of dimensional mismatch that can result from non-spec replacements.
A shims set is used to precisely control the clearance and spacing between internal moving or mating components within a machine's drivetrain, crankcase, or pump assembly. By filling the gap between parts to a specified tolerance, shims prevent excessive play, misalignment, and metal-to-metal contact that would otherwise cause rapid wear. When a shim degrades, deforms, or is lost during service, the resulting clearance error can cause vibration, noise, accelerated bearing wear, or loss of power transmission efficiency — making correct shim replacement an essential part of any rebuild or overhaul procedure.
