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 specifications of the original, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. Compatibility covers both standard and US-spec variants across multiple production series, making the right choice for a wide range of RC-series machines.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Bonded Construction — Vulcanized rubber-to-metal bond matches the original part's compression and damping characteristics, maintaining consistent vibration isolation performance.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting interface on RC50 and RC70 series compactors, requiring no reworking of the surrounding hardware during installation.
- Broad RC-Series Fitment — Confirmed fit across RC50, RC50P, RC70, RC70P, and RC70VO models, including US-spec variants, across multiple production series numbers.
- Sustained Vibration Damping — A correctly functioning rubber metal buffer absorbs and isolates operational vibration between machine frames; a worn or cracked buffer allows metal-to-metal contact, accelerating structural wear and degrading operator control.
- OEM Part Number Verified — Listed under Wacker Neuson part number 5100023441, so you can cross-reference against your machine's parts manual with confidence before ordering.
A rubber metal buffer is a bonded isolator that sits between two structural components of the compactor — typically within the articulation or drum mounting system — and absorbs the intense vibration generated during soil compaction. By flexing and dampening shock loads, it protects surrounding frame components, fasteners, and operator controls from the constant stress of compaction cycles. When a rubber metal buffer deteriorates, cracks, or separates from its metal inserts, vibration transfers directly into the machine structure, leading to accelerated wear, loosening of fasteners, and a noticeable loss of control and compaction consistency.
