Description
Overview:
This Shim for Wacker plate compactors is a genuine Wacker Neuson part, supplied under OEM No. 5000027216. Made from durable metal and precision cut, it maintains the correct spacing and alignment between mating parts inside the compactor assembly. Correct shimming helps components run true under vibration, supporting smooth operation and reducing wear. It is engineered for Wacker plate compactors such as the PVP75A and VPG165A, and is suitable for demanding site and rental use. As a direct replacement for the original shim, it is intended to restore factory-spec geometry during maintenance or rebuilds. Choosing a genuine part helps ensure compatibility, reliable performance, and long service life in compactors used for soils, sub-base and asphalt preparation.
Key Features:
- Genuine Wacker Neuson component (OEM No. 5000027216) for assured compatibility with listed models
- Durable metal construction to withstand continuous vibration and impact loads
- Precision cut to hold correct spacing and alignment within the compactor assembly
- Helps prevent premature wear of bearings, belts, housings and fasteners by keeping components true
- Stable performance under heat and dust typical of compaction work
- Consistent thickness for predictable setup and repeatable maintenance outcomes
