Metal Bushing (New Style Handle) | WP1540

The Wacker Neuson Bush is a genuine OEM component designed for the WP1540A, WP1540Aw, VP1135A, VP1135Aw, VP1030A, and VP1030Aw series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper fit and function within the compactor's drivetrain assembly. This Bush is a direct replacement for the original component, covering multiple models in the WP and VP single-direction plate family — making it a practical stocking part for operators and service technicians running several machines. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure correct application.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact bore and outer diameter specifications, ensuring the Bush seats correctly and maintains proper bearing surface contact within the drivetrain.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to the original press-fit or slip-fit spec, this Bush installs into the same housing bore as the factory component with no modification to surrounding parts.
• Broad WP and VP Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across WP1540A, WP1540Aw, VP1135A, VP1135Aw, VP1030A, and VP1030Aw single-direction vibratory plate compactors.
• Drivetrain Integrity — A worn or failed Bush introduces shaft play and accelerated wear to adjacent rotating components; replacing it promptly restores correct alignment and load distribution.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, carrying the full OEM part number 5100018340 for straightforward verification against your machine's parts manual.

A Bush serves as a plain bearing or liner positioned between a rotating or reciprocating shaft and its housing, providing a sacrificial wear surface that protects more expensive machined components. In a vibratory plate compactor, bushings are subjected to continuous vibration loads and must maintain close tolerances to keep the exciter shaft or drive components running true. When a Bush wears beyond its service limit, it allows excess movement in the shaft, which can lead to uneven vibration output, increased stress on surrounding parts, and progressive damage to the compactor's eccentric weight assembly if left unaddressed.
