The Wacker Neuson Rubber Metal Buffer is a genuine OEM component designed for the RC50, RC50P, RC70, RC70P, and RC70VO single drum soil compactor series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact material and dimensional standards of the original, ensuring a correct fit with no guesswork. It is compatible across both standard and P-variant models in the RC50 and RC70 families, covering a broad range of production runs including US-market configurations.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Rubber-to-Metal Bond Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original vulcanization and compound specifications, maintaining the vibration damping characteristics the machine was engineered around.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and profile of the RC50 and RC70 series, dropping into place without machining or adaptation.
- Broad RC-Series Compatibility — Fits RC50, RC50P, RC70, RC70P, and RC70VO models, including US-market variants, across multiple production series.
- Sustained Vibration Isolation — A correctly functioning rubber metal buffer absorbs and isolates drum vibration from the machine frame, protecting structural components and operator comfort. A worn or cracked buffer transfers excessive shock loads that accelerate wear on surrounding parts.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Part number 5100023440 is confirmed against Wacker Neuson's parts documentation, so you can order with confidence that you are receiving the correct component.
A rubber metal buffer is a bonded isolator that sits between two structural assemblies — typically the vibrating drum system and the main machine frame — to absorb and dampen the high-frequency shock loads generated during compaction. By flexing and dissipating energy, it prevents those vibrations from transmitting directly into the chassis, protecting welds, bearings, and connected components from fatigue damage over time. When this buffer cracks, debonds, or hardens with age, vibration transfers unchecked through the frame, leading to accelerated wear on surrounding hardware and a noticeable increase in operator fatigue.
