The Wacker Neuson Eccentric Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the original unit installed at the factory. It is confirmed compatible across multiple BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H configurations, including the DPU 5045He US variant, making it a straightforward like-for-like replacement. If your plate compactor is producing reduced vibration output or uneven compaction force, a worn or damaged eccentric weight is a common cause — and is the correct OEM solution.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Mass and Balance: — Manufactured to the exact weight and geometry specification required to generate the correct centrifugal compaction force on BPU and DPU 5045 series plates.
- Drop-In Vibratory Shaft Fitment: — Mounts directly to the existing vibratory shaft assembly without machining or modification, restoring the original eccentric offset and vibration amplitude.
- Broad BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H Coverage: — Verified fit across multiple machine numbers within the BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H series, including the DPU 5045He US configuration.
- Restores Full Compaction Output: — A correctly weighted eccentric restores the centrifugal force needed for consistent, even soil and aggregate compaction; a worn or out-of-spec weight directly reduces plate effectiveness on the job.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Part number 5000046358 is an authentic Wacker Neuson component, ensuring the correct metallurgy and dimensional tolerances for long service life inside the vibration exciter housing.
The eccentric weight is the core element of a vibratory plate compactor's exciter mechanism. As it rotates at high speed on the vibratory shaft, its offset mass generates centrifugal force that drives the baseplate into rapid up-and-down motion — this is what compacts the soil, aggregate, or paving base beneath the machine. On reversible plate compactors like the BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H, the eccentric weights are typically arranged so their angle can be shifted to reverse the direction of travel. When an eccentric weight becomes cracked, worn, or loses material, the centrifugal force output drops and compaction depth and density suffer — which can compromise subgrade quality and require re-passes to meet specification.
