The Wacker Neuson Rubber Metal Buffer is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD18, RD24, RD27, and RD28 series tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. It is compatible across an extensive range of RD series configurations including standard, combination, offset, canopy, and DPF variants, as well as electric-drive models in the RD24e and RD28e lines. When you need a verified OEM replacement to restore your roller to proper operating condition, part is the correct choice.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Rubber and Metal Bonding — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material specification, delivering the vibration absorption and structural integrity expected of the factory component.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting points and dimensions of the RD series roller frame, allowing straightforward installation without adaptation.
- Broad RD Series Compatibility — Fits RD18, RD24, RD27, and RD28 tandem rollers across standard, offset, combination, DPF, and electric-drive variants, covering a wide range of Wacker Neuson compaction equipment.
- Sustained Vibration Isolation — A correctly functioning rubber metal buffer maintains proper isolation between machine components, preventing vibration transfer that accelerates wear on surrounding parts and the roller frame.
- Genuine OEM Confidence — Carrying Wacker Neuson's part number 5100011787, this is an authorized OEM part — not a generic substitute — so fitment and function are verified before it ships.
A rubber metal buffer is a bonded isolator that combines a rubber element with metal mounting hardware to absorb and dampen vibration between two connected machine components. On a tandem roller, these buffers play a critical role in protecting the machine's frame, engine mounts, and operator platform from the continuous high-frequency vibration generated during compaction work. When a buffer deteriorates — through rubber cracking, delamination, or metal fatigue — vibration transfers directly into the surrounding structure, accelerating wear on adjacent components and degrading operator comfort and machine control.
