Wacker Neuson 5100011734 Rubber Metal Buffer

The Wacker Neuson Rubber Metal Buffer is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, RD45, and RC110 series tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact material and dimensional standards set for your machine at the factory. The covers an extensive range of configurations across these series, including standard, canopy, and open-ROPS variants, as well as DPF and electric-drive models. Confirming your model number against the fitment list before ordering ensures a straightforward drop-in installation.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Bonded Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact rubber-to-metal bonding specification, ensuring the correct compression rate and load absorption for tandem roller applications.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting footprint and hardware interface on supported RD and RC series machines, requiring no reworking of surrounding brackets or hardware.
• Broad Series Coverage — A single part number covers RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, RD45, and RC110 tandem roller families across standard, canopy, open-ROPS, DPF, and electric-drive configurations.
• Vibration Isolation Integrity — A correctly functioning rubber metal buffer absorbs and dampens operational vibration between machine assemblies; a worn or cracked buffer allows metal-to-metal contact that accelerates wear on surrounding components.
• Long Service Life Under Load — The vulcanized rubber compound is selected to resist compression set, cracking, and degradation under the continuous dynamic loads generated during compaction work.

A rubber metal buffer is a bonded isolator — a vulcanized rubber element mechanically joined to metal mounting plates — that sits between two structural assemblies on the roller. Its job is to absorb and isolate vibration and shock loads generated during compaction, preventing those forces from transferring directly into the machine's frame or operator platform. When the rubber element cracks, hardens, or separates from its metal bond, vibration isolation is lost, which increases stress on adjacent fasteners, housings, and structural welds and can lead to accelerated wear or structural fatigue across the machine.
