The Wacker Neuson 5000403573 Ball Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for the MP15, MP20, VP1550AW, and ZEN series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, this bearing is manufactured to the exact specifications required by Wacker Neuson, ensuring it installs correctly and performs as intended in the original assembly. Fitment covers a broad range of single-direction plate models including the MP15, MP15A, MP15-CE, MP20, VP1550AW-CN, VP1550AW/WH, ZEN-L 15, ZEN-L 15W, ZEN-L 20, ZEN-L 20W, and ZEN-C 20. Sourcing the correct OEM part number 5000403573 is the most reliable way to confirm you are getting the right bearing for these machines.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Load Rating — Manufactured to the exact radial and axial load tolerances required by Wacker Neuson for sustained vibratory plate operation.
- Drop-In Fitment — Designed to seat directly into the original bearing housing with no reworking of the bore or surrounding components.
- Broad Model Coverage — Fits the MP15, MP15A, MP15-CE, MP20, VP1550AW-CN, VP1550AW/WH, ZEN-L 15, ZEN-L 15W, ZEN-L 20, ZEN-L 20W, and ZEN-C 20 single-direction vibratory plates.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A properly functioning bearing keeps the eccentric mechanism spinning true, maintaining consistent centrifugal force and compaction performance across every pass.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as authentic OEM stock, so part number 5000403573 matches Wacker Neuson's own service documentation and parts catalog exactly.
The ball bearing in a vibratory plate compactor supports the rotating eccentric shaft that generates the machine's compaction force. It absorbs both the radial loads produced by the spinning mass and the axial loads transmitted through the drivetrain, allowing the shaft to turn smoothly at high speed under continuous vibration. When this bearing wears or fails, the eccentric assembly loses smooth rotation, which causes increased vibration throughout the housing, audible noise, and a measurable drop in compaction output — ultimately leading to drivetrain damage if the bearing is not replaced promptly.
