Wacker Neuson 5100011563 Radial Rod End Bearing

The Wacker Neuson Radial Rod End Bearing is a genuine OEM radial rod end bearing designed for the RD18, RD24, RD28, RD27, RD40, and RD45 series tandem rollers. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts program, the meets the original engineering tolerances required for smooth, controlled articulation on these machines. This bearing fits an extensive range of standard, canopy, and open-ROPS variants across the full RD tandem roller lineup, including DPF-equipped and electric models. Ordering by part number ensures you receive the correct component for your machine without the guesswork.

Key Features

• OEM Precision Tolerancing — Manufactured to the exact radial load and angular clearance specs required for proper articulation joint function on Wacker Neuson tandem rollers.
• Drop-In Installation — Engineered to match the original mounting geometry, allowing the bearing to seat and retain correctly within the existing rod end assembly.
• Broad RD Series Coverage — A single part number covers standard, canopy (C), open-ROPS (O), DPF, and electric (e) variants across the RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 tandem roller families.
• Sustained Articulation Performance — A properly functioning radial rod end bearing keeps steering response accurate and consistent; a worn bearing introduces play that degrades compaction control and machine handling.
• Genuine OEM Confidence — Backed by Wacker Neuson's OEM parts program, ensuring material grade and dimensional accuracy that aftermarket alternatives may not replicate.

A radial rod end bearing is a pivoting joint component that allows controlled rotational movement between connected structural members — in this case, within the articulation or steering linkage of a tandem roller. It absorbs radial loads while permitting the angular movement needed for the machine to steer and flex over uneven ground. When this bearing wears or fails, the joint develops looseness, leading to imprecise steering, uneven drum tracking, and accelerated wear on surrounding linkage components.
