Wacker Neuson 5100011669 Rubber Metal Buffer

The Wacker Neuson Rubber Metal Buffer is a genuine OEM component designed for Wacker Neuson RD-series tandem rollers and RC-series single drum soil compactors, including the RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, RD45, RC50, and RC70 model families. As a direct OEM replacement, the is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original part, ensuring a drop-in installation with no guesswork. This buffer is a stock replacement item covering an extensive range of standard, cab, open ROPS, DPF, and VO variants across both US and international configurations. Confirm your machine's model number against the fitment list before ordering to make sure this is the correct part for your application.

Key Features

• OEM Rubber-to-Metal Bond Quality — Manufactured with the same vulcanized rubber-to-metal bonding process as the original, maintaining correct compression deflection and load absorption characteristics for this part type.
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches the original mounting geometry and hardware interface, allowing straightforward installation without machining or adaptation.
• Broad Model Coverage — A single part number covers the RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 tandem roller families as well as RC50 and RC70 single drum soil compactors, including DPF, cab, ROPS, and open variants.
• Sustained Vibration Isolation — A correctly functioning rubber metal buffer absorbs and isolates the high-frequency vibration generated during compaction cycles, protecting surrounding structural components from accelerated wear and fatigue cracking.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson OEM supply chain, so the part number, material grade, and dimensional tolerances match what left the factory on your machine.

A rubber metal buffer is a vibration-isolating mount that bonds a rubber element between two metal plates or sleeves to absorb shock and dampen oscillation between connected machine components. On compaction equipment like tandem rollers and single drum soil compactors, these buffers are subjected to continuous, high-amplitude vibration loads during operation, making them wear items that can crack, debond, or lose elasticity over time. When a buffer fails, vibration that should be absorbed is instead transmitted directly into surrounding frames, housings, and operator components, which accelerates fatigue damage across the machine and can compromise both performance and operator comfort.
