The Wacker Neuson Spherical Bearing PTFE Liner is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 series ride-on tandem rollers. As a direct factory replacement, this bearing maintains the precise articulation and load-handling characteristics that the RD27 platform demands on asphalt and soil compaction applications. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part matches the original specification exactly, covering both the Pro and Basic T4F variants across all documented RD27 machine configurations.
Key Features
- PTFE-Lined Bearing Surface — The integrated PTFE liner provides a low-friction, self-lubricating contact surface that resists wear under the continuous oscillating loads generated during compaction cycles.
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, ensuring the spherical seat geometry and bore dimensions match the factory-installed unit without reworking mounting points.
- Broad RD27 Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across RD27-100 and RD27-120 configurations, including RD27 Pro Tandem Roller, RD27 Basic T4F, and Hydrostatic Vibratory Roller variants.
- Supports Full Articulation Travel — A correctly functioning spherical bearing allows the roller's articulated frame to pivot smoothly through turns and uneven terrain, preserving steering response and drum tracking accuracy.
- Structural Integrity Under Load — Spherical bearings in articulated rollers carry significant lateral and radial forces; replacing a worn unit restores proper load distribution and prevents accelerated wear on adjacent frame components.
The spherical bearing with PTFE liner is mounted at the articulation joint of the RD27 tandem roller, where it allows the front and rear frame sections to pivot relative to each other during steering and over uneven ground. The PTFE liner eliminates the need for routine greasing at that joint while maintaining a stable, low-friction pivot under the dynamic loads of vibratory compaction. When this bearing wears or degrades, operators may notice stiff or imprecise steering, abnormal noise at the articulation point, or uneven play in the frame joint — all of which compromise compaction quality and can accelerate wear on surrounding structural components.
