The Wacker Neuson 5100022486 is a genuine OEM Bearing Bracket designed for WP- and VP-series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same tolerancing and dimensional standards as the original component installed at the factory. Compatible across a broad range of models including the WP1540A, WP1550A, VP1340A, VP1550A, and VP2050A — in both standard and walk-behind (Aw) variants — the part is the correct replacement when the bearing bracket shows wear, cracking, or bearing-seat damage. Confirm your model number before ordering to ensure a direct, bolt-in fit with your machine's existing hardware.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Dimensional Accuracy — Cast and machined to the exact bearing-seat tolerances required to correctly support and retain the exciter shaft bearing, preventing premature bearing wear or misalignment.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Mounts using the original bolt pattern and hardware interfaces, so installation follows the standard service procedure without modification to surrounding components.
- Wide Model Coverage — Fits WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, WP1550Aw, VP1340A, VP1340Aw, VP1550A, VP1550Aw, VP2050A, and VP2050Aw variants, including US and international configurations.
- Protects Exciter Assembly Integrity — A correctly seated bearing bracket keeps the eccentric shaft running true; a cracked or worn bracket causes vibration imbalance and accelerated bearing failure that can propagate to the exciter housing.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as a genuine OEM component, ensuring the part number, material specification, and geometry match what Wacker Neuson engineers specified for these plate compactor families.
The bearing bracket on a vibratory plate compactor is the structural housing that locates and retains the bearing supporting the exciter shaft. It holds the bearing firmly in position so the eccentric weights on the shaft can spin at the correct speed and generate consistent compaction force through the base plate. When the bracket cracks, corrodes, or its bearing seat wears out of tolerance, the bearing shifts under load — leading to uneven vibration output, increased noise, and eventual failure of the exciter assembly. Replacing a damaged bearing bracket promptly restores proper shaft alignment and protects the surrounding drivetrain components from secondary damage.
