The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Hydraulic Tank Breather designed for RD27-100 and RD27-120 series hydrostatic vibratory tandem rollers. As a factory-sourced component, part is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original part it replaces, ensuring a correct fit without guesswork. This breather is confirmed compatible across a wide range of RD27-100 and RD27-120 machine configurations, including standard and traction control variants. Keeping the hydraulic tank breather in good working order is a straightforward but critical part of routine roller maintenance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Venting Spec: — Factory-sourced breather maintains the correct venting capacity for the hydraulic tank, preventing pressure imbalances that could compromise pump and motor life.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Engineered to match the original mounting interface on RD27-series rollers, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory part.
- Broad RD27 Series Coverage: — Fits RD27-100 and RD27-120 tandem rollers across standard and traction control configurations, covering multiple machine numbers within the RD27 family.
- Protects Hydraulic System Integrity: — A functioning breather allows the hydraulic tank to equalize pressure during operation and cool-down; a clogged or failed breather can introduce vacuum conditions that cavitate the pump.
- Contamination Defense: — The breather filters incoming air as fluid levels fluctuate, keeping airborne debris and moisture out of the hydraulic reservoir during normal roller operation.
A hydraulic tank breather allows air to move in and out of the hydraulic reservoir as fluid volume changes during machine operation and as the system heats and cools. Without a properly functioning breather, the tank can develop a vacuum or excess pressure, both of which place damaging stress on seals, hoses, and the hydraulic pump. When the breather becomes clogged or fails, operators may notice erratic hydraulic response, oil leaks at seals, or accelerated wear on pump components — replacing it promptly with a correctly rated unit like the Wacker Neuson 5000161545 restores proper system breathing and protects the broader hydraulic circuit.
