The Wacker Neuson Exciter Bar Mount is a genuine OEM component designed for the VPG165V, VPG165A, and VPG170A vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this mount ensures an exact match to the original hardware specification for the 587mm/18in plate series. It installs directly into the compaction assembly, securing the exciter bar in its correct operating position. If your VPG-series plate is producing irregular vibration or showing signs of looseness in the exciter system, replacing the Exciter Bar Mount is a logical first step to restoring proper performance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Manufactured to the original material and dimensional specification, ensuring the mount withstands the continuous cyclic loading generated by the exciter system.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting configuration on the VPG-series plate, so the exciter bar seats and aligns correctly without modification.
- Confirmed Fitment for VPG Series — Verified for the VPG165V, VPG165A, and VPG170A 587mm/18in vibratory plate compactors.
- Restores Consistent Compaction Output — A secure, properly functioning exciter bar mount keeps vibration force transferred evenly through the plate, maintaining compaction depth and surface finish on soil, aggregate, and paving stone applications.
- Correct OEM Part Number — Part number 5000028995 is the factory-designated replacement, eliminating guesswork when ordering for your VPG-series machine.
The exciter bar mount is a structural connection point that holds the exciter bar securely within the vibration system of the plate compactor. The exciter bar generates the eccentric rotating force that drives the plate's compaction action — without a solid mount, that force cannot be transferred efficiently, leading to reduced compaction output, increased vibration at the operator handle, and accelerated wear on surrounding components. A worn or failed mount allows unwanted movement in the exciter assembly, which can cause uneven compaction and further mechanical damage if left unaddressed.
