The Wacker Neuson Rubber Metal Buffer is a genuine OEM component designed for RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, and RC70vo single drum soil compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same specifications as the original buffer installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, trouble-free replacement. Fitment spans multiple RC-series configurations including CAB, ROPS, DPF, and US-market variants, making it one of the most broadly compatible buffers in the RC compactor lineup.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Rubber-to-Metal Bond Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original bonding specification, ensuring the rubber element maintains correct compression deflection and does not delaminate under sustained vibration loads.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting footprint and hardware interface on RC-series compactors, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory part with no reworking of mounting points.
- Broad RC-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, and RC70vo models in standard, DPF, CAB, ROPS, and US-market configurations.
- Vibration Isolation Maintained — A correctly functioning rubber metal buffer absorbs and isolates machine vibration between structural assemblies; a worn or hardened buffer transmits shock loads that accelerate wear on surrounding components and the frame.
- OEM Part Number Traceability — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5100023138, eliminating guesswork when cross-referencing against service manuals or parts catalogs for RC-series machines.
A rubber metal buffer is a bonded isolator that sits between two structural members of the compactor — typically between the engine or drum assembly and the mainframe — absorbing vibration and dampening shock loads generated during compaction work. By flexing under load, it prevents that energy from transferring directly into the machine's frame and operator environment. When a rubber metal buffer hardens, cracks, or separates from its metal inserts, vibration transfer increases sharply, which can loosen fasteners, accelerate wear on adjacent components, and degrade overall machine control.
