The Wacker Neuson 5100022049 Eccentric Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP1340A and VP1340Aw single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, this shaft is manufactured to the same standards as the original part, ensuring proper fit and function within the exciter housing. The 5100022049 covers a wide range of VP1340A and VP1340Aw configurations, including US and international variants, making it the correct choice for operators sourcing a verified replacement for this compactor family.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision Machining — Manufactured to exact dimensional tolerances required for balanced eccentric rotation, ensuring the compactor delivers consistent centrifugal force output.
- Direct Exciter Housing Fit — Engineered to seat and align correctly within the VP1340 exciter assembly with no reworking of surrounding components.
- Broad VP1340 Series Coverage — Compatible with VP1340A and VP1340Aw variants, including US-spec, international, and CN-configured machines.
- Restored Compaction Output — A worn or damaged eccentric shaft leads to reduced vibration amplitude and uneven compaction; replacing it with a correct-spec OEM part restores full plate performance on soil, aggregate, and paving stone applications.
- OEM Part Number Verified — Part number 5100022049 is sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, eliminating fitment uncertainty when ordering for the VP1340 platform.
The eccentric shaft is the core rotating component inside the vibratory plate's exciter unit. As it spins, its off-center mass generates the centrifugal force that drives the baseplate up and down, producing the vibration needed to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, and paving stone. When the eccentric shaft wears, bends, or fails, vibration output drops significantly — resulting in poor compaction density, surface irregularities, and incomplete base preparation. Replacing a failed shaft promptly with the correct OEM part restores the machine to its rated compaction performance and protects the surrounding exciter bearings from secondary damage.
