The Wacker Neuson Radial Rod End Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 tandem roller series, covering standard, canopy, open-ROPS, and DPF-equipped configurations across multiple generations. As a factory-sourced part, the is produced to the same tolerances and material specifications as the original bearing — ensuring correct load distribution, range of motion, and service life. This bearing is confirmed to fit a wide range of Wacker Neuson tandem rollers including the RD24-100, RD27-120, RD28-120, RD40-130, and RD45-140 in their various variants. Ordering the correct OEM part number from the outset eliminates the guesswork of fitment and gets your roller back to work faster.
Key Features
- OEM Precision Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact radial clearance and load-rating specs, so the bearing articulates smoothly under the dynamic steering and compaction forces a tandem roller generates.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting interface and thread specification of the factory bearing, allowing straightforward installation without machining or adaptation.
- Broad Tandem Roller Coverage — A single part number covers RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 series rollers in standard, canopy (c), open-ROPS (o), DPF, and Generation 3 variants — simplifying parts inventory for mixed fleets.
- Sustained Articulation Performance — A correctly functioning rod end bearing maintains precise linkage geometry; a worn bearing introduces play that degrades steering response and compaction consistency.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts network, carrying the same part number — 5100013609 — as the component installed at the factory.
A radial rod end bearing is a self-contained joint that combines a spherical ball with an outer ring and an integral threaded shank, allowing connected linkage rods to pivot and articulate freely in multiple directions while transmitting load. On a tandem roller, these bearings are used in the steering and articulation linkage, enabling the machine to change direction smoothly while keeping the drum assembly properly aligned under compaction loads. When a rod end bearing wears or its ball becomes loose, the resulting slop in the linkage causes imprecise steering, uneven drum tracking, and accelerated wear on surrounding components — making timely replacement critical to maintaining compaction quality and operator control.
