The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM 20 X 40 45 Shore Shockmount designed for the GS5.5A 50Hz Portable Generator with Electric Start. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original component. If your generator is exhibiting excessive vibration transfer or the existing shockmount shows signs of cracking, compression set, or deterioration, part number is the correct direct replacement to restore proper isolation.
Key Features
- 45 Shore Durometer Rating — The medium-firm 45 Shore hardness delivers the correct balance of flexibility and load-bearing capacity for this generator application, ensuring effective vibration damping without bottoming out under operational load.
- Genuine OEM Specification — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original rubber compound and compression spec, so the mount performs exactly as it did when the machine left the factory.
- Drop-In Replacement — Dimensioned at 20 x 40 mm to match the original mounting footprint on the GS5.5A, allowing straightforward installation without modification to the mounting hardware or frame.
- Verified GS5.5A Fitment — Confirmed for the GS5.5A 50Hz Portable Generator with Electric Start; cross-reference part number 5000083972 before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific machine number.
- Protects Frame and Components — A functioning shockmount isolates engine vibration from the generator frame and housing, reducing structural fatigue and protecting sensitive electrical components from vibration-induced wear over time.
A shockmount is a rubber-to-metal isolation bushing that absorbs and dampens the vibration generated by the engine before it can transfer into the generator's frame, enclosure, and electrical components. On a portable generator like the GS5.5A, correctly rated shockmounts are essential for maintaining structural integrity over extended run cycles and for protecting the alternator and control components from vibration stress. When a shockmount hardens, cracks, or collapses, vibration transfers directly through the frame — leading to accelerated wear on fasteners, housings, and internal components, as well as increased noise output during operation.
