The Wacker Neuson Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson equipment including the WP1550R and WP1550RW vibratory plate compactors, VP50H and VP60H vibratory soil plates, PT2R centrifugal trash pumps, and the BFS series floor saws. As a direct OEM part, is manufactured to the same specification as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring a correct, consistent fit across all covered models. This tappet is sourced directly through authorized Wacker Neuson supply channels, so you can order with confidence knowing you are receiving an authentic replacement. Verify your model number against the fitment list before ordering to confirm compatibility with your specific machine.
Key Features
- Authentic OEM Specification: — Machined to the precise profile and hardness required for correct valve train contact, eliminating the guesswork of dimensional mismatches common with non-OEM alternatives.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to seat and align exactly as the original, allowing installation without rework or adjustment to surrounding valve train components.
- Broad Fitment Coverage: — Compatible with WP1550R and WP1550RW vibratory plate compactors, VP50H and VP60H vibratory soil plates, VP50Hw and VP60Hw vibroplates, VPR1330, PT2R trash pumps, and the BFS 130R, BFS 130RM, BFS 1345B, BFS 1350L, BFS 1345BZ, BFSX 130R, and BFSX 130RM floor saws.
- Sustained Engine Rhythm: — A correctly functioning tappet maintains consistent valve lift and timing, supporting smooth, efficient engine operation across the full duty cycle of your equipment.
- Wear-Critical Component: — Tappet wear leads to erratic valve actuation, loss of compression, rough running, and accelerated camshaft wear; replacing this part at the first sign of wear protects surrounding engine components.
A tappet — also known as a cam follower — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem in a small four-stroke engine. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet transfers the cam lobe's motion into the precise up-and-down movement that opens and closes the intake and exhaust valves. When a tappet wears flat or develops pitting on its contact face, valve timing becomes erratic, causing hard starting, loss of power, excessive noise, and eventual engine damage. Replacing a worn tappet promptly restores correct valve operation and protects the camshaft from secondary wear.
