The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Exhaust Rocker Arm designed for the RD7H series tandem rollers and the DPU 4045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5045H, DPU 5545H, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555H series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, part is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original component, ensuring correct geometry and fit within the engine's valvetrain. This part covers an exceptionally wide range of RD7 walk-behind tandem roller variants and diesel-powered DPU reversible plates, making it a key engine service item across multiple Wacker Neuson product families. Keep this part number on hand for scheduled valve adjustments or engine rebuild work on any of the covered machines.
Key Features
- OEM Valvetrain Geometry — Manufactured to exact pivot-point and contact-surface dimensions, ensuring correct valve lift and timing on the exhaust side of the engine.
- Drop-In Engine Service Fit — Replaces the original exhaust rocker arm directly on the cylinder head, aligning with the rocker shaft and valve stem without modification.
- Broad Cross-Family Coverage — A single part number fits the RD7H and RD7He walk-behind tandem roller series as well as the DPU 4045H through DPU 6555H diesel reversible vibratory plate compactor range.
- Sustained Valve Performance — A worn or damaged exhaust rocker arm causes improper valve actuation, leading to loss of compression, rough running, and accelerated engine wear; replacing it restores full engine efficiency.
- Engine Integrity Assurance — Using the correct OEM rocker arm maintains proper valve clearance tolerances, which is critical for preventing exhaust valve burning and protecting engine longevity during high-cycle compaction work.
The exhaust rocker arm is a pivoting lever in the engine's valvetrain that transfers motion from the camshaft — via the pushrod — to open the exhaust valve at precisely the right moment in the combustion cycle. It must maintain accurate contact geometry with both the pushrod tip and the valve stem to control exhaust valve lift and duration correctly. When a rocker arm wears at its contact surfaces or cracks at the pivot bore, valve timing is disrupted, leading to symptoms such as loss of power, excessive valve noise, hard starting, or in severe cases, engine damage from a valve held open or not seating fully.
