The Wacker Neuson Breather is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a correct drop-in fit with no guesswork on compatibility. This Breather is verified for use across the DPU 7060 family, covering both standard and remote-controlled configurations. Keep this part on hand as a routine maintenance item to protect exciter and drive system longevity on your heavy-duty DPU compactor.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this Breather is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional tolerances of the original part, ensuring correct venting performance in the exciter housing.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting point and port size on the DPU 7060 series, allowing a straightforward swap during scheduled maintenance or field repair.
- Broad DPU 7060 Family Coverage — Confirmed fitment across the DPU 7060SC (remote control), DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Protects Internal Exciter Components — A functioning Breather maintains correct pressure balance within the exciter housing; a blocked or failed unit can cause seal failure and oil contamination of internal components.
- Verified Part Number — Part number 5000204658 cross-references directly to the DPU 7060 platform, giving you confidence you are ordering the correct component before it arrives on site.
A Breather on a vibratory plate compactor serves as a pressure-relief and ventilation point for the exciter or gearbox housing. As internal components heat and cool during operation, the Breather allows air to move in and out, preventing pressure buildup that would otherwise force oil past seals and gaskets. When a Breather becomes blocked or damaged, pressure imbalances develop inside the housing, accelerating seal wear and potentially causing oil leaks that lead to premature exciter failure — making it a small but critical part of any DPU compactor's maintenance schedule.
