The Wacker Neuson 5100010012 Exciter Complete is a genuine OEM assembly designed for the DPU 3050Hw US Army reversible vibratory plate compactor. As a direct factory replacement, this unit ships as a fully assembled exciter, ready to install without the need to source individual internal components separately. Sourcing the correct OEM exciter assembly ensures the machine returns to spec-rated compaction output and centrifugal force generation. Confirm your model number against the DPU 3050Hw US Army before ordering to ensure an exact match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Assembly — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the exact centrifugal force output and rotational balance specifications of the original unit, preserving rated compaction performance.
- Complete Unit Replacement — Supplied as a fully assembled exciter, eliminating the risk of mismatched internal components and simplifying the swap-out process.
- Verified Fitment — Matched specifically to the DPU 3050Hw US Army reversible vibratory plate compactor for a direct, bolt-in installation.
- Restored Compaction Force — A worn or failed exciter reduces vibratory amplitude and compaction depth; replacing with this OEM unit restores the machine's full soil and aggregate compaction capability.
- Fuel and Drive System Compatibility — Engineered to work in concert with the DPU platform's hydraulic reversing system and engine drive arrangement, maintaining proper vibration frequency and direction control.
The exciter is the core vibration-generating assembly on a reversible vibratory plate compactor. It contains eccentric weights driven by the engine that rotate to produce the centrifugal force responsible for compacting soil and aggregate. On reversible models like the DPU 3050Hw, the exciter also governs the direction of plate travel by shifting the phase angle of those weights. When the exciter wears out or fails, the plate loses compaction force, may pull unevenly, or stops traveling altogether — making timely replacement critical to keeping the machine productive on trench backfill and soil compaction work.
