The Wacker Neuson Bowden Cable is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPU 3050 and BPU 2540 series gasoline reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cable delivers the exact routing, length, and end-fitting configuration the machine was engineered around. It is a direct replacement for worn, kinked, or snapped cables on these BPU models, restoring full directional control to the plate.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Cable Construction — Manufactured to the original inner-wire gauge and sheath dimensions, ensuring consistent travel and cable tension that aftermarket alternatives may not replicate.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original end fittings and sheath length for the BPU 3050 and BPU 2540, so the cable seats correctly into the control lever and exciter unit without modification.
- Confirmed BPU Fitment — Compatible with the BPU 3050 (gasoline reversible vibratory plate) and BPU 2540 (gas reversible vibratory plate, 25 kN, 40 cm/16 in) compactor models.
- Directional Control Restored — A correctly tensioned Bowden cable gives the operator precise forward and reverse response from the exciter mechanism — critical for tight compaction passes and working close to trench edges.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Backed by the manufacturer and carries part number 5000202889 for straightforward cross-referencing against your machine's service documentation.
A Bowden cable transmits mechanical input from the operator's hand lever to the exciter or directional control unit within the vibratory plate compactor. On reversible BPU models, it is what allows the operator to shift the plate between forward and reverse travel by pulling or releasing the cable sheath. When the cable stretches, frays, or breaks, the operator loses the ability to control the direction of the plate, making accurate compaction passes difficult or impossible. Replacing a worn Bowden cable promptly keeps the machine responsive and the operator in full control of compaction direction.
