Wacker Neuson 5100022879 Grooved Ball Bearing

The Wacker Neuson 5100022879 is a genuine OEM Grooved Ball Bearing designed for the RC50, RC70, and RC110 series single-drum soil compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bearing meets the original engineering specifications for all covered RC-family variants, including padfoot, smooth drum, DPF, ROPS, CAB, and US-spec configurations. Whether you are servicing an RC50p, an RC70vo, or an RC110p, part number 5100022879 is the correct, verified replacement bearing for your machine. Stocking the right OEM bearing means you can complete the repair correctly the first time and return the compactor to full productivity.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Bearing Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original dimensional and load-rating specifications, ensuring the bearing seats correctly and carries both radial and axial loads as the machine was designed to handle.
• Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original bore diameter, outer race dimensions, and groove profile exactly, so installation follows the standard service procedure without any machining or shimming.
• Broad RC-Family Coverage — Confirmed fitment across RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, RC70vo, RC110, and RC110p variants in ROPS, CAB, DPF, and US-spec configurations.
• Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly seated grooved ball bearing maintains precise drum or drivetrain rotation, preserving the even compaction force delivery that the RC-series is built to produce. A worn bearing introduces vibration and uneven loading that degrades compaction results.
• OEM Part Number Assurance — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5100022879 eliminates substitution risk and ensures you receive the bearing specified for your exact machine configuration.

A grooved ball bearing — also known as a deep-groove ball bearing — supports rotating shafts by carrying both radial loads and moderate axial (thrust) loads through a ring of precision steel balls seated in curved raceways. In a single-drum soil compactor like the RC50, RC70, and RC110, these bearings are used at critical rotating points in the drivetrain and vibration system to keep components spinning smoothly under sustained, high-load operating conditions. When a grooved ball bearing begins to fail, the symptoms typically include audible noise, increased heat at the bearing location, and vibration that falls outside normal compaction parameters — left unaddressed, bearing failure can cause accelerated wear to adjacent shafts and housings and ultimately take the machine out of service.
