The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Centrifugal Clutch designed for the BS50, BS60, and BS70 series four-cycle vibratory rammers. As a direct factory replacement, this clutch delivers the precise engagement characteristics the BS-series rammer was engineered around, ensuring consistent power transfer from the engine to the compaction drive. It is compatible across a wide range of BS-series configurations including BS50-4s, BS50-4As, BS60-4s, BS60-4As, BS70-4As, and corresponding EU variants. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number meets the same production standards as the clutch originally installed at the factory.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Engagement Tolerance — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original engagement RPM specification, so the rammer fires into compaction stroke at the correct throttle threshold — not too early, not too late.
- Drop-In Replacement for BS-Series Rammers — Mounts directly to the crankshaft output on BS50, BS60, and BS70 models with no adaptation needed; hardware interfaces match the original assembly.
- Broad BS-Family Compatibility — Fits BS50-4s, BS50-4As, BS60-4s, BS60-4As, BS70-4As, and multiple EU-market variants across a wide range of machine numbers.
- Sustained Power Transfer Under Load — A properly functioning centrifugal clutch protects the engine during startup and delivers full drive engagement under working load; a worn or slipping clutch causes erratic stroke delivery and accelerated wear on the drive train.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic factory component — not a pattern copy — so material grade, spring tension, and drum geometry are identical to the original.
The centrifugal clutch on a vibratory rammer connects the engine to the compaction drive using engine speed rather than a manual lever. At idle, the clutch shoes retract inward and disengage the drum, allowing the engine to run without driving the rammer shoe. As the operator increases throttle, centrifugal force pushes the shoes outward against the drum, locking the drive and putting the rammer into full compaction stroke. This design protects the engine from shock loads at startup and allows the operator to control compaction output through throttle position. When the clutch wears, shoes lose grip, the drum slips, and the rammer delivers inconsistent blows — reducing compaction effectiveness and placing extra heat stress on the engine.
