The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 hydrostatic vibratory rollers. As a direct OEM replacement, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required to maintain proper clearance and alignment within the drivetrain or compaction assembly. This shim fits across multiple RD27 configurations, including standard and traction control variants. Having the correct shim on hand ensures precise mechanical fit and keeps your roller operating at spec.
Key Features
- OEM Tolerance Accuracy — Manufactured to the exact thickness specification required for proper mechanical clearance, ensuring components seat and align correctly without shimming errors.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Drops in as a like-for-like replacement with no modification needed to mating surfaces or adjacent components.
- Broad RD27 Series Coverage — Compatible with RD27-100 and RD27-120 rollers across standard and traction control configurations, covering a wide range of machine numbers within the RD27 family.
- Preserves Drivetrain Alignment — A correctly fitted shim maintains the intended spacing between rotating or load-bearing components, preventing premature wear on bearings, shafts, and housings.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000161501 carries the same quality standard as the original component installed at the factory.
A shim is a precision-thickness spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance between mechanical components — such as gears, bearings, shafts, or housings. In a hydrostatic vibratory roller like the RD27 series, shims play a critical role in maintaining proper alignment and load distribution across moving parts. When a shim is worn, damaged, or installed at the wrong thickness, it can lead to excessive play, uneven wear on adjacent components, increased vibration, and accelerated mechanical failure. Using the correct OEM shim ensures the assembly returns to its intended geometry and continues to perform as designed.
