The Wacker Neuson Camshaft is a genuine OEM camshaft designed for the BS50-4s, BS60-4s, BS50-4, and BS60-4 series gasoline vibratory rammers, as well as the GPi1700 portable inverter generator. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by the original engine design, ensuring proper valve timing and consistent engine operation. This camshaft fits an extensive range of BS-series rammer configurations, including standard, EU-emission, and high-altitude variants across multiple machine numbers. Confirm your machine's model and serial number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Valve Timing Geometry — Machined to the exact lobe profile and journal dimensions specified by Wacker Neuson, preserving correct intake and exhaust valve timing for the four-stroke engine.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — Engineered to align directly with the original camshaft bore and gear-drive interface, allowing installation without modification to the engine block or timing components.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility — Covers a wide range of BS50-4, BS50-4s, BS60-4, and BS60-4s rammer configurations, including standard, EU, and high-altitude variants, plus the GPi1700 inverter generator.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly timed camshaft keeps the four-stroke engine producing full power strokes, which directly drives the consistent impact energy needed for trench and cohesive soil compaction.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts supply chain and carries the part number 5000159196 for straightforward verification against your machine's parts manual.
The camshaft is a precision engine component that controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves by rotating in sync with the crankshaft. In a four-stroke rammer engine like those found in the BS50-4 and BS60-4 series, the camshaft's lobe profile determines when fuel and air enter the combustion chamber and when exhaust gases are expelled — directly affecting power output and engine efficiency. When a camshaft wears or sustains damage, valve timing shifts out of specification, leading to hard starting, loss of impact power, rough running, or engine failure under load.
