The Wacker Neuson Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPS1550B, BPS1550Bw, BPS2050B, BPS2050Bw, and A5000/160B series machines. As a direct OEM replacement, it meets the exact tolerances and material specifications set by Wacker Neuson, ensuring proper valve train operation across every compatible model. This tappet is the correct part for maintaining consistent engine timing and mechanical lift performance in these machines. Confirm your model number before ordering — this listing covers all five compatible variants listed above.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Surface Hardness — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact hardness and geometry specs, ensuring the tappet withstands repeated cam lobe contact without premature wear.
- Drop-In Valve Train Fit — Engineered to seat directly in the correct bore and align with the camshaft lobe, requiring no shimming or modification during installation.
- Broad Series Coverage — Fits BPS1550B, BPS1550Bw, BPS2050B, BPS2050Bw, and A5000/160B models, covering both standard and wet-model variants.
- Consistent Valve Lift Performance — A correctly functioning tappet maintains precise valve timing and lift; a worn tappet causes erratic valve operation, loss of compression, and accelerated camshaft wear.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, so you get the same component installed at the factory — not an approximation of it.
A tappet — also known as a valve lifter — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem (or pushrod) inside the engine. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet follows the cam lobe profile and translates that rotational motion into the linear movement needed to open and close the engine's valves at precisely the right moment. When a tappet wears down or develops surface pitting, valve timing is thrown off, leading to rough running, reduced power output, and potential damage to surrounding valve train components. Replacing a worn tappet promptly restores correct valve operation and protects the engine from further internal damage.
