Grooved ball bearing

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Grooved Ball Bearing designed for the DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bearing delivers the dimensional accuracy and material hardness required to handle the continuous rotational loads generated inside heavy-duty DPU compaction equipment. It is compatible with a wide range of DPU models including the DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 5545H, DPU 4545H, DPU 6055, DPU 6555H, DPU 7060, and their associated regional and configuration variants. Using the correct OEM part ensures the bearing seats and operates exactly as the machine was engineered to perform.

Key Features

• OEM-Grade Radial Load Tolerance — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact specification for groove geometry and race hardness, ensuring the bearing handles the high radial and axial loads inherent to reversible vibratory plate operation.
• Direct Drop-In Fitment — Matches the original bearing's bore, outer diameter, and width so it seats correctly in the existing housing without reworking or shimming.
• Broad DPU Series Compatibility — Fits DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5545H, DPU 6055, DPU 6555H, DPU 7060, DPS 2040, DPS 2050, and numerous configuration variants across the reversible vibratory plate lineup.
• Smooth, Vibration-Resistant Rotation — The grooved ball design maintains consistent rotational stability under the cyclic shock loads produced during compaction, helping sustain exciter output and plate performance over the service interval.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authorized replacement component, giving you confidence the part number, grade, and tolerances match the original build specification for your DPU machine.

A grooved ball bearing — also known as a deep-groove ball bearing — supports the rotating shafts inside the exciter housing of a reversible vibratory plate compactor, carrying both radial loads from the eccentric weights and any axial forces generated during direction changes. By maintaining precise shaft alignment, the bearing allows the exciter assembly to generate consistent compaction force and protects surrounding components from excessive wear. When a grooved ball bearing begins to fail, operators typically notice increased vibration noise, uneven compaction output, or excessive heat at the exciter housing; left unaddressed, bearing failure can lead to shaft damage and more costly drivetrain repairs.
