Clutch Bearing | 5000018256

The Wacker Neuson Grooved Ball Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for DPU and BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This is a direct-from-manufacturer part, manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Wacker Neuson for proper exciter and drivetrain operation across a wide range of compactor models. Confirmed fitment includes the DPU 2540H, DPU 2550H, DPU 2560H, DPU 3050H, DPU 3060H, DPU 3070H, DPU 3750Hts, DPU 3760Hts, BPU 2540A, BPU 3050A, BPU 3750Ats, and related TS and HE variants. Sourcing the correct bearing by part number ensures proper load handling and shaft alignment within these machines.

Key Features

• OEM Precision Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact radial and axial load specifications for grooved ball bearings used in compactor exciter assemblies, ensuring correct fit on the shaft and within the bearing housing.
• Drop-In Installation — Dimensionally identical to the original, this bearing seats directly into the existing housing without machining or shimming.
• Wide Compactor Fitment — Covers a broad range of DPU diesel and BPU gasoline reversible vibratory plate models in the 25–37 kN class, including TS, HE, and US-market variants.
• Sustained Vibration Load Capacity — A correctly seated grooved ball bearing maintains smooth exciter shaft rotation under the high-frequency vibration loads these compactors generate; a worn bearing causes increased vibration noise, shaft play, and eventual exciter failure.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts network, carrying the same part number 5000018256 as the factory-installed component.

A grooved ball bearing — also known as a deep groove ball bearing — supports and locates a rotating shaft by carrying both radial and light axial loads simultaneously. In reversible vibratory plate compactors, these bearings are typically found in the exciter unit and drive system, where they allow the eccentric weights or drive shaft to spin freely while absorbing the constant vibration forces the machine generates during compaction. When a grooved ball bearing begins to fail, operators will notice increased noise, excessive heat at the bearing location, irregular vibration output, or visible shaft movement — all of which accelerate wear on surrounding components and reduce compaction effectiveness.
