The Wacker Neuson 5100018326 is a genuine OEM Cylindrical Roller Bearing designed for WP and VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. This bearing is a direct OEM replacement sourced to exact Wacker Neuson specifications, covering a wide range of models including the WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, WP1550Aw, VP1340A, VP1340Aw, VP1550A, VP1550Aw, VP2050A, and VP2050Aw. As a genuine OEM component, the part is manufactured to the same tolerances and material standards as the original part installed at the factory, ensuring consistent performance across the full lineup of compatible machines. If you are servicing any of these WP or VP series plates, verifying this part number against your machine's serial number before ordering is always recommended.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Roller Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact radial clearance and load-rating specifications for this bearing position, ensuring correct load distribution within the exciter assembly.
- Drop-In Exciter Housing Fit — Engineered to seat directly into the exciter housing without modification, matching the original bore dimensions and retaining ring geometry of the WP and VP series plate compactors.
- Broad WP and VP Series Coverage — Fits a wide range of WP1540A, WP1550A, VP1340A, VP1550A, and VP2050A models, including Aw and US market variants, making it a practical stock item for fleets running multiple plate sizes.
- Sustained Vibration Output — A correctly functioning bearing supports the eccentric shaft under continuous high-frequency vibration loads; a worn or failed bearing causes increased vibration amplitude loss, excessive heat, and exciter damage.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic OEM component, not an adaptation, so fitment accuracy and part traceability are backed by Wacker Neuson's parts program.
The cylindrical roller bearing in a vibratory plate compactor sits within the exciter housing and supports the rotating eccentric shaft that generates the machine's compaction force. It is designed to handle the high radial loads produced by continuous eccentric rotation at operating speed. When this bearing wears or fails, the eccentric shaft loses proper support, leading to irregular vibration, increased noise, heat buildup, and — if left unaddressed — damage to the exciter housing itself. Replacing a worn bearing promptly restores full compaction output and protects the surrounding exciter components from secondary damage.
