Wacker Neuson 5000162711 Nut M32 Steel (IR Receive Eye)

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Nut M32 Steel (IR Receive Eye) designed for the RT56-SC, RT82-SC, RTx-SC2, RTL82-SC3, and RTLx-SC3 series remote-controlled vibratory trench rollers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the original engineering specifications for the infrared receiver eye mounting assembly used across the SC, SC2, and SC3 control generations. Fitment spans a wide range of RT-family machines, including both standard and EU variants, smooth drum and padfoot configurations, and Compatec-equipped models. When the original nut shows wear, corrosion, or thread damage, replacing it with the correct M32 steel specification ensures the IR receiver assembly stays properly secured and aligned.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Steel Grade: — M32 specification in hardened steel provides the thread engagement strength required to hold the IR receiver eye securely under continuous field vibration.
• Direct-Fit Replacement: — Matches the original M32 thread pitch and bearing surface of the IR receive eye mount, dropping in without rework or thread chasing on a well-maintained housing.
• Broad RT-Family Coverage: — Confirmed fit across RT56-SC, RT82-SC, RTx-SC2, RTL82-SC3, and RTLx-SC3 models, including SC, SC2, and SC3 control generations and EU variants.
• Protects Remote-Control Signal Reception: — A loose or missing nut allows the IR receiver eye to shift or vibrate out of alignment, degrading wireless remote responsiveness and potentially disabling remote operation entirely.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson Part: — Part number 5000162711 is an authentic Wacker Neuson component, ensuring correct material grade and thread geometry for this safety-critical fastener location.

The IR receive eye on a remote-controlled trench roller is the optical sensor that accepts infrared signals from the handheld remote transmitter, translating operator commands into machine movement and compaction functions. The M32 nut secures this receiver assembly to its mounting point on the machine frame, keeping it stable and correctly aimed despite the constant vibration generated during compaction work. If this nut loosens, backs off, or fails, the receiver eye can shift out of position, causing intermittent or total loss of remote control response — a serious operational and safety concern on a machine designed to be operated from a safe distance away from the trench.
