The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this shim delivers the precise dimensional tolerancing required to maintain correct clearances and alignment within the compactor drivetrain. Verified fitment spans the DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet models, making a straightforward like-for-like replacement. Order with confidence knowing you are installing the exact part Wacker Neuson specifies for these heavy-duty 70 kN reversible plates.
Key Features
- OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact thickness and material specification, ensuring the correct mechanical clearance is restored the first time.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original shim profile and seating geometry, so it installs in the same position without any rework or custom fitting.
- Broad DPU 7060 Series Coverage — Confirmed for the DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet reversible vibratory plates.
- Preserves Compaction Force Consistency — A correctly shimmed drivetrain keeps the 70 kN compaction output properly transferred through the exciter assembly; a worn or missing shim can introduce play that degrades compaction performance and accelerates component wear.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Part number 5000099501 is sourced through authorized Wacker Neuson supply channels, so traceability and part authenticity are assured.
A shim is a precision-thickness spacer used to set and maintain the correct clearance or pre-load between mating components — in the DPU 7060's case, within the exciter or drive assembly of the reversible vibratory plate. By occupying a defined gap, the shim prevents unwanted movement between parts, controls bearing load distribution, and keeps rotating or reciprocating assemblies running within their designed tolerances. When a shim is lost, damaged, or worn to an incorrect thickness, the resulting play or misalignment can cause accelerated wear on surrounding components, vibration irregularities, and ultimately a reduction in the machine's compaction effectiveness.
