The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Camshaft designed for the VP1030A and WP1030A single-direction vibratory plate compactors, as well as the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As vibratory rammers. As a factory-original component, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the part it replaces, ensuring proper fit and function within the engine's valve train. This Camshaft is a direct replacement for all listed VP1030A, WP1030Aw, WP1030A, and BS-series models, making it a reliable choice when engine performance has degraded due to cam wear.
Key Features
- Factory-Original Cam Profile: — Machined to OEM lobe geometry, ensuring correct valve timing and lift characteristics for these Wacker Neuson engines.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement: — Engineered to the original journal dimensions and keyway positions, allowing installation without alteration to the engine block or valve assembly.
- Broad Fitment Across Two Machine Families: — Compatible with VP1030A and WP1030A vibratory plate compactors and BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As vibratory rammers across multiple build configurations.
- Sustained Engine Output: — A correctly profiled camshaft maintains proper air-fuel charge cycling; a worn cam causes rough running, power loss, and excessive fuel consumption in both compactors and rammers.
- Genuine OEM Traceability: — Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's parts supply chain under part number 5000162164, so you receive the correct component for your registered machine.
The camshaft is a precision-ground rotating shaft inside a four-stroke engine that controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves through a series of lobes. As the engine runs, the camshaft rotates in sync with the crankshaft, pushing against valve lifters at precisely timed intervals to allow the air-fuel mixture in and exhaust gases out. When a camshaft wears, the lobe profiles flatten, causing mistimed or incomplete valve operation — resulting in hard starting, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, complete engine failure. Replacing a worn camshaft with a correct OEM part like the Wacker Neuson 5000162164 restores proper valve timing and returns the engine to its intended performance level.
