The Wacker Neuson Hydraulic Cylinder is a genuine OEM component designed for the RT and RTL/RTK remote-controlled vibratory trench roller series, including the RT56-SC, RT82-SC, RT82-SC2, RTx-SC2, RTLx-SC3, RTKx-SC3, and RTL82-SC3 models. As a direct OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original cylinder installed at the factory, ensuring a correct fit within the machine's hydraulic steering and articulation system. This cylinder supports the articulated frame design that allows these trench rollers to navigate narrow trenches with precision. Whether you're servicing an RT56-SC2 or an RTKx-SC3 equipped with Compatec compaction measurement, this is the correct replacement cylinder for the application.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — Manufactured to original bore diameter, stroke, and port specifications, maintaining correct hydraulic pressure and cylinder response in the steering and articulation circuit.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting points, port fittings, and rod end connections on RT and RTL/RTK series trench rollers, so installation follows the standard service procedure without modification to lines or brackets.
- Broad RT Series Fitment — Compatible across RT56-SC, RT82-SC, RT82-SC2, RTx-SC2, RTLx-SC3, RTKx-SC3, and RTL82-SC3 trench roller variants, including EU-spec and Compatec-equipped machines.
- Maintains Trench Tracking Accuracy — A properly functioning hydraulic cylinder keeps the articulated frame responding correctly, allowing the roller to hold its line in tight trenches. A worn or leaking cylinder causes steering drift and uneven compaction passes.
- Hydraulic System Safety — A failed or bypassing cylinder can result in loss of steering control on a remote-operated machine. Replacing with the correct OEM cylinder restores safe, predictable articulation response.
The hydraulic cylinder on a remote-controlled trench roller is a core component of the machine's articulated steering system. It converts hydraulic pressure from the control circuit into mechanical force, pivoting the front and rear frame sections relative to each other so the machine can steer and track accurately within a trench. Because these rollers operate in confined spaces where precise directional control is essential, the cylinder must deliver consistent, leak-free extension and retraction. When the cylinder seal degrades or the rod is damaged, the machine may wander off line, respond sluggishly to remote inputs, or lose steering authority altogether — all of which compromise compaction quality and operator control.
