The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500 series submersible pumps. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances specified for these pumps, ensuring proper internal clearances and component alignment are maintained during service. This shim is the correct replacement for PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500 models, and verifying your model number before ordering is always recommended to confirm fitment.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's precise thickness specifications, ensuring critical internal clearances are maintained during reassembly.
- Direct Service Replacement — Drops into the same position as the original shim with no reworking of mating components required during pump service.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500 submersible pump models; always cross-reference your machine's model number to confirm.
- Preserves Pump Performance — Correct shimming keeps rotating and stationary components properly spaced, preventing premature wear, vibration, and loss of pumping efficiency.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000176897 carries the same quality assurance as the component originally installed at the factory.
A shim is a thin, precision-dimensioned spacer used during assembly and service to set or restore the correct gap between internal components. In a submersible pump, shims are critical for maintaining proper alignment and clearance between rotating parts, which directly affects how smoothly the pump operates and how long its internal components last. When a shim is worn, damaged, or missing, components can contact one another incorrectly, leading to increased friction, accelerated wear, and potential pump failure.
