The Wacker Neuson Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP1035R and VP1135RW Value Vibratory Plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this tappet meets the exact specifications required to maintain proper valve train operation in these single-direction vibratory plate machines. It is a direct-fit replacement for the VP1035R (10 kN, 356mm/14in) and VP1135RW (11 kN, 356mm/14in) platforms. Keeping a correctly functioning tappet in place ensures consistent engine performance and helps prevent accelerated valve and camshaft wear.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact dimensional and hardness tolerances for valve train components, ensuring correct lift geometry and contact surface durability.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement: — Engineered to seat directly into the original tappet bore with no machining or adjustment to the surrounding valve train hardware.
- Confirmed Compactor Fitment: — Compatible with the VP1035R Value Vibratory Plate (10 kN) and VP1135RW Value Vibratory Plate (11 kN), both in the 356mm/14in single-direction plate compactor family.
- Protects Valve Train Integrity: — A worn or damaged tappet causes erratic valve timing and accelerated camshaft lobe wear; replacing it promptly restores smooth, consistent engine operation in the field.
- Verified Part Number: — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5000115749 confirms you receive the correct tappet for your specific VP-series compactor.
A tappet — also called a valve lifter — sits between the camshaft lobe and the valve stem or pushrod, transferring the rotational motion of the camshaft into the linear motion needed to open and close the engine's intake and exhaust valves. When a tappet wears down or develops surface damage, it can no longer transfer valve lift accurately, leading to reduced engine compression, rough running, increased fuel consumption, and eventual damage to the camshaft itself. Replacing a worn tappet with a correct OEM part restores proper valve timing and keeps the engine operating at its rated output — critical for maintaining the consistent compaction force these VP-series vibratory plates are built to deliver.
