The Wacker Neuson Rubber Buffer is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 series tandem rollers, covering standard, C, O, DPF, and.3 generation variants across both domestic and US-market configurations. As a direct OEM replacement, the is produced to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the part seats and functions exactly as the factory-installed unit. This buffer spans a wide range of tandem roller models including the RD18-80, RD24-100, RD27-120, RD40-130, and RD45-140, making it a high-demand service part across multiple jobsite compaction machines. Ordering by part number confirms you are receiving the correct genuine component for your machine.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Rubber Compound — Manufactured from the same rubber formulation used in original production, delivering the correct compression deflection and durometer hardness that this application demands.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting profile and dimensions so the buffer installs directly into the existing bracket or mount point without trimming or adapting.
- Broad Tandem Roller Coverage — Compatible with RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 series tandem rollers, including C, O, DPF, US, SE, and .3 generation variants.
- Vibration and Impact Absorption — A properly functioning rubber buffer absorbs and isolates operational shock loads; a cracked or collapsed buffer transfers those loads directly to surrounding components, accelerating wear on adjacent hardware.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson OEM supply chain under part number 5100013550, so you receive the same part the machine was built with.
A rubber buffer is a vibration-isolating mount used in tandem roller construction to cushion and separate structural assemblies from the high-frequency compaction forces generated during operation. By absorbing shock and dampening vibration between components, the buffer protects surrounding hardware from fatigue cracking and premature wear. When a rubber buffer deteriorates — through cracking, hardening, or compression set — the isolation it provides is lost, causing increased vibration transmission, accelerated component wear, and rougher machine operation that can affect compaction quality and operator comfort.
