The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 series hydrostatic vibratory rollers, including standard and traction control configurations. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper drivetrain and bearing stack alignment within these machines. This shim fits across the full RD27 model range, making it the correct choice whether you are servicing a standard hydrostatic unit or a traction control variant. Keeping the correct shim in place ensures critical components remain properly spaced and seated for consistent machine performance.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Thickness Tolerance — Manufactured to the precise dimensional spec required for correct component spacing in the RD27 drivetrain and bearing assemblies.
- Direct Drop-In Fitment — Engineered to seat correctly within existing component stacks without rework or shimming adjustment.
- Broad RD27 Series Coverage — Compatible with RD27-100 and RD27-120 hydrostatic vibratory rollers in both standard and traction control configurations.
- Maintains Drivetrain Alignment — A correctly fitted shim keeps rotating and load-bearing components at the designed spacing; a worn or missing shim can cause premature bearing wear and misalignment under compaction loads.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, ensuring material grade and dimensional accuracy match what was installed at the factory.
A shim is a thin, precision-machined spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance and alignment between two mating components — commonly found in drivetrain assemblies, bearing stacks, and hydraulic system interfaces. In a tandem vibratory roller like the RD27, shims play a critical role in maintaining the designed load path and rotational alignment under the significant forces generated during compaction work. When a shim is worn, crushed, or missing, components can shift out of alignment, leading to accelerated wear on adjacent bearings, seals, or housings and potentially causing more costly secondary damage.
