The Wacker Neuson Cylinder with Piston is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 6055, DPU 6055H, DPU 6055He, and DPU 6055 WC models. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this assembly carries the same specifications as the original part installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, hassle-free replacement. Whether you're overhauling a high-hour machine or addressing a worn cylinder bore, part number restores the engine's compression and power output to as-new condition. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Key Features
- OEM Compression Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original bore tolerances, ensuring the piston-to-cylinder clearance delivers full compression and prevents blow-by that would rob the compactor of centrifugal force output.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — The cylinder and piston are supplied as a matched assembly, aligning directly with the existing crankcase, rings, and head gasket surfaces of the DPU 6055 engine without additional machining.
- DPU 6055 Series Coverage — Fits the DPU 6055, DPU 6055H, DPU 6055He, and DPU 6055 WC reversible vibratory plate compactors, covering the primary diesel-powered variants in this heavy-duty compaction line.
- Restored Compaction Output — A worn or scored cylinder causes loss of engine power and reduced exciter output, leaving soil and aggregate undercompacted. This replacement brings centrifugal force back to rated specification.
- Fuel System Safety Assurance — A correctly sealed cylinder prevents combustion gases from contaminating the crankcase oil, protecting downstream engine components and maintaining safe operating temperatures in the diesel power unit.
The cylinder and piston are the core compression components of the DPU 6055's diesel engine. The cylinder forms the combustion chamber bore, while the piston travels within it to compress the air-fuel mixture and transfer combustion energy to the crankshaft, which ultimately drives the exciter unit that generates the plate's compaction force. When the cylinder bore becomes worn, scored, or the piston develops cracks or ring-land damage, compression drops, the engine loses power, and the machine can no longer deliver its rated compaction output. Replacing the cylinder with piston assembly as a matched unit restores proper sealing, correct compression ratio, and full engine performance.
