The Wacker Neuson Steering Cylinder is a genuine OEM steering cylinder designed for the RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, and RC70vo single drum soil compactor series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part matches the original specification exactly, ensuring a straight-swap installation with no guesswork. It covers a wide range of RC-series configurations including CAB, ROPS, DPF, and US-market variants. If you're maintaining or restoring steering function on your compactor, this is the correct part for the job.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — Built to Wacker Neuson's original pressure ratings and seal tolerances, so the cylinder delivers consistent hydraulic force without internal bypass or drift.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches original mounting points, port sizing, and rod dimensions on RC-series machines for a clean, straightforward swap.
- Broad RC-Series Fitment — Confirmed for RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, and RC70vo across standard, US-market, CAB, ROPS, and DPF configurations.
- Restored Steering Response — A failed or leaking steering cylinder causes erratic articulation and loss of directional control; this replacement restores full, predictable steering authority on the drum.
- Safety-Critical Hydraulic Component — Steering system integrity directly affects operator control on grades and confined sites; using a genuine OEM cylinder ensures the hydraulic circuit performs within designed safety parameters.
The steering cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that controls the articulation point between the front drum assembly and the rear engine/operator frame on a single drum soil compactor. When the operator turns the steering wheel or engages the steering control, hydraulic pressure extends or retracts the cylinder rod, pivoting the machine left or right. A worn, leaking, or damaged steering cylinder causes slow steering response, uncontrolled drift, or a complete loss of directional control — any of which creates a serious hazard, particularly on slopes or near trench edges.
