The Wacker Neuson Valve Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4045Ye, DPU40Yeh, DPU45Yeh, DPU40Yeh US, DPU45Yeh US, and DPU4045Yehzf series vibratory plates. As a factory-sourced part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring consistent engine performance and a straightforward installation. This valve tappet is compatible across both US and EU model variants, covering a broad range of the DPU4045 and DPU40/45 machine families.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Contact Surface Hardness — Manufactured to the original hardness and geometry spec for this tappet seat, maintaining proper valve train contact and wear characteristics.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — Seats directly into the existing valve train without rework, keeping engine reassembly straightforward for experienced technicians.
- Wide DPU Series Coverage — Fits DPU4045Ye, DPU4045Yeh, DPU4045Yehzf, DPU40Yeh, and DPU45Yeh machines in both US and EU configurations.
- Protects Valve Train Integrity — A worn tappet causes uneven valve lift, rough running, and accelerated camshaft wear; replacing it with a correctly spec'd part restores smooth, consistent valve operation.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000217856 carries full OEM traceability for fleet maintenance records and service documentation.
A valve tappet — also called a cam follower — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem inside the engine, transferring the rotational motion of the camshaft into the up-and-down motion that opens and closes the engine's valves. It takes on continuous sliding and impact loads with every engine cycle, so surface wear is a normal result of extended service. When a tappet wears down or loses its correct profile, valve timing becomes inconsistent, leading to loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and can eventually cause damage to the valves or camshaft itself.
