The Wacker Neuson Eccentric Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 5045H and BPU 5045A reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications required to restore proper compaction output on 50 kN class reversible plates. It is a direct-fit replacement that installs into the exciter housing without modification, maintaining the centrifugal force balance the machine was engineered to deliver. Confirmed fitment spans multiple DPU 5045H and BPU 5045A production series, making part number the correct choice across this machine family.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Mass Tolerance: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original weight specification, ensuring the correct centrifugal force output and balanced vibration cycle are fully restored.
- Direct Exciter Housing Fit: — Engineered to the original shaft geometry and mounting profile of the DPU 5045H and BPU 5045A exciter assemblies for a straightforward drop-in installation.
- Broad Series Coverage: — Fits multiple DPU 5045H production variants and the BPU 5045A reversible vibratory plate, covering the full 50 kN, 45 cm/18 in compactor family.
- Compaction Force Restored: — A worn or out-of-balance eccentric weight directly reduces plate amplitude and compaction depth; replacing it brings the machine back to its rated 50 kN output.
- Vibration System Integrity: — Correct eccentric weight mass prevents uneven loading on exciter bearings, protecting surrounding drivetrain components from accelerated wear.
The eccentric weight is the core component of a vibratory plate compactor's exciter unit. Mounted on the exciter shaft inside the gearbox housing, it generates centrifugal force as it spins, producing the high-frequency vibration that drives the baseplate into the soil or aggregate. The greater the rotational mass and speed, the higher the compaction force delivered to the ground. When the eccentric weight becomes worn, damaged, or loses mass, the machine's amplitude drops and compaction depth suffers — leaving lifts under-compacted and failing to meet density specifications. Replacing part 5000046356 with a genuine Wacker Neuson eccentric weight brings the DPU 5045H and BPU 5045A back to their designed compaction output.
