The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Shim 0.010 Thick, Brown designed for the CT30, CT36, and CT48 series walk-behind concrete power trowels. As a direct OEM replacement, this shim is manufactured to the exact thickness and material specification required by Wacker Neuson for proper trowel assembly clearances. It fits an extensive range of CT series models spanning 30-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch rotor sizes, including gasoline, diesel, and variable-speed variants. Keep part number on hand to support scheduled maintenance and precision adjustment work on your concrete finishing equipment.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification: — Stamped to a precise 0.010-inch profile, ensuring the correct clearance and fit within the trowel's drive assembly without guesswork.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this shim meets the same dimensional and material standards as the part originally installed at the factory.
- Broad CT Series Compatibility: — Fits CT30, CT36, and CT48 walk-behind trowel models, including gasoline, diesel, electric-start, CE-compliant, and variable-speed configurations.
- Color-Coded for Fast Identification: — Brown color coding helps technicians quickly identify the correct shim thickness during disassembly, reassembly, or multi-shim stack selection.
- Maintains Correct Drive Geometry: — Proper shimming keeps rotating components aligned and operating within tolerance; incorrect or missing shims can cause premature bearing wear, vibration, or uneven rotor engagement.
A shim is a precisely dimensioned spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance between mating components in a mechanical assembly. In a walk-behind concrete trowel, shims like the 5000078829 are used within the rotor hub or gearbox assembly to control axial play and ensure rotating parts run true. When shim thickness is off — whether through wear, incorrect selection, or omission — the result can be excessive play, unwanted vibration, accelerated wear on adjacent components, or inconsistent trowel blade contact with the concrete surface. Using the correct OEM-spec shim restores the assembly to its designed operating geometry and protects the surrounding components.
