The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD7H-S, RD7He, RD7H, RD7Hf, and RD7Hfb series double drum tandem rollers. As a factory-sourced part, the meets the exact dimensional and material specifications Wacker Neuson engineers built into these machines. Compatibility spans multiple production runs of the RD7 tandem roller lineup, including EU and North America configurations. When you need a precise, drop-in replacement shim, sourcing genuine OEM ensures the tolerances are exactly where they need to be.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Dimensional Tolerance — Manufactured to the precise thickness specification required for correct component spacing and alignment in the RD7 drum roller drivetrain.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Seats in the same position as the original, requiring no material removal, re-machining, or adjustment during installation.
- Broad RD7 Series Compatibility — Fits RD7H-S, RD7He, RD7H, RD7Hf, and RD7Hfb double drum tandem rollers across EU and North American build variants.
- Maintains Critical Clearances — A correctly fitted shim keeps rotating and fixed components at the right spacing, preventing premature wear on adjacent parts and maintaining smooth drum operation.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Quality — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts network, so the material grade and thickness match what left the factory originally — no guesswork on fitment.
A shim is a thin, precisely dimensioned spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance between two mating components. In a double drum roller like the RD7 series, shims are used to fine-tune alignment and take up tolerances in drivetrain and drum assemblies, ensuring smooth, even force transmission and preventing metal-to-metal contact that would accelerate wear. When a shim wears down, becomes damaged, or is lost during a rebuild, replacing it with a part of the correct original thickness is essential — using the wrong thickness can introduce play or preload that shortens the life of surrounding components significantly.
