The Wacker Neuson Thrust Washer is a genuine OEM thrust washer designed for the RD18-80, RD18-100, and RD18-100c series tandem and vibration rollers. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper load management within the drivetrain. This washer is confirmed to fit multiple RD18 series configurations, including SE and US variants, covering a broad range of serial number ranges across the RD18 lineup. When you need a dependable, like-for-like replacement, the genuine OEM designation means no guesswork on fit or material spec.
Key Features
- OEM Axial Load Tolerance: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact thickness and hardness specifications, ensuring the washer handles axial thrust loads without deforming or accelerating wear on adjacent components.
- Drop-In Installation: — Matches the original mounting position and dimensions exactly, slotting into place without rework to the surrounding assembly.
- Broad RD18 Series Coverage: — Compatible with RD18-80, RD18-100, and RD18-100c tandem and vibration rollers, including SE and US variants across multiple production series.
- Drivetrain Protection: — A functioning thrust washer absorbs axial force and keeps rotating components properly spaced; a worn or missing washer allows metal-to-metal contact that can damage shafts and housings.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5100068718 carries the same material grade and dimensional accuracy as the component originally installed at the factory.
A thrust washer sits between rotating or sliding components to absorb axial (end-to-end) load and prevent direct metal contact between parts under pressure. In a compaction roller like the RD18 series, it plays a critical role in keeping drivetrain and drum assembly components correctly positioned as they rotate under load. When a thrust washer wears thin or fails, the resulting play allows components to shift axially, which leads to accelerated wear on shafts, housings, and bearings — and can ultimately cause drivetrain damage that is far more costly to repair than a simple washer replacement.
