The Wacker Neuson Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this tappet meets the same specifications as the original part installed at the factory, ensuring consistent valve train geometry and correct valve actuation. It is a direct-fit replacement for all three DPU 100-70 series variants, including the diesel-powered Le and Les configurations.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Train Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact tolerancing, ensuring correct lift profile and contact surface hardness critical to tappet longevity.
- Direct Drop-In Fitment — Engineered to seat and align within the engine block as the original, with no adjustment or machining required during installation.
- Confirmed Compatibility — Fits the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactor series.
- Protects Engine Performance — A correctly functioning tappet maintains proper valve clearance, supporting full compression and efficient fuel combustion; a worn tappet causes loss of power and accelerated camshaft wear.
- Long-Term Surface Durability — The contact face is hardened to resist the repetitive impact loads present in diesel engines used in heavy-duty compaction applications.
The tappet, also known as a valve lifter, sits between the camshaft and the valve stem within the engine's valvetrain. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet follows the cam lobe profile and transmits that motion upward to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at precisely the right moment. When a tappet wears down or develops surface pitting, valve timing becomes erratic, leading to rough running, reduced compression, and eventual engine damage if left unaddressed. Replacing a worn tappet with a correct OEM part like the Wacker Neuson 5000208986 restores proper valve operation and protects the surrounding engine components from premature wear.
