The Wacker Neuson Tension Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this tension spring meets the same tolerances and load specifications as the original part installed on the production line. It is a straightforward drop-in replacement that restores correct spring tension and ensures all connected components operate as intended. Confirm your model number before ordering to ensure proper fitment with your DPU 7060 series machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Tension Integrity — Manufactured to exact load and deflection specifications, ensuring the spring delivers consistent clamping or return force without early fatigue or set.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to the same hook dimensions, wire diameter, and free length as the original, so it seats and connects the same way the factory part did.
- DPU 7060 Series Compatibility — Verified fitment for the DPU 7060SC (Remote Control), DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Sustained Compaction Control — A properly tensioned spring keeps directional and drive components correctly preloaded, maintaining smooth forward and reverse plate operation across the full working cycle.
- Sourced from Wacker Neuson — Supplied as genuine OEM stock, so the part number, material grade, and finish match what the machine was built with.
A tension spring stores and releases mechanical energy to maintain preload or return a component to its resting position between operating cycles. In a reversible vibratory plate compactor like the DPU 7060 series, tension springs are used to keep linkages, levers, or control mechanisms under consistent load, ensuring predictable response when the operator changes direction or engages the drive. When a tension spring stretches beyond its elastic limit, loses its set, or breaks entirely, the connected component can become sluggish, rattle, or fail to return to its neutral position — leading to erratic plate behavior and increased wear on surrounding parts. Replacing a worn spring promptly keeps the compactor's mechanical system operating within its designed parameters.
