The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Clutch Hub is a genuine OEM component designed for VPG165A and VPG170A vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory-sourced replacement, it meets the exact tolerances and material specifications required for proper clutch engagement in the VPG series. This hub is the correct fitment for both the VPG165A and VPG170A 587mm/18in vibratory plate models. Installing the right OEM part ensures the clutch system operates as intended, protecting the drivetrain and maintaining consistent compaction performance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engagement Geometry — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact hub dimensions, ensuring the centrifugal clutch engages and releases at the correct engine RPM threshold without slippage or drag.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to drop into the VPG165A and VPG170A clutch assembly using the existing hardware and mounting points, with no modification to surrounding components.
- Confirmed VPG Series Compatibility — Verified fitment for VPG165A and VPG170A 587mm/18in vibratory plate compactors, covering both model variants with a single part number.
- Drivetrain Protection — A worn or damaged clutch hub causes erratic power transfer to the exciter, leading to inconsistent plate vibration and accelerated wear on connected drivetrain components.
- Operational Safety Relevance — A properly functioning centrifugal clutch hub ensures the plate does not transmit drive force at idle, which is critical for operator control during startup and positioning on grade.
The centrifugal clutch hub is the central rotating component within the centrifugal clutch assembly, transferring engine torque to the exciter unit once the engine reaches operating speed. At idle, the hub allows the engine to run without driving the compaction mechanism, giving the operator full control during startup and repositioning. When the hub wears, cracks, or becomes damaged, clutch engagement becomes unpredictable — resulting in rough starts, vibration loss, or uncontrolled drive engagement that can compromise both the machine and operator safety.
