The Wacker Neuson 5000046366 is a genuine OEM Grooved Ball Bearing designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through the Wacker Neuson parts program, this bearing meets the original engineering specifications for the exciter unit and drivetrain assemblies found across these machines. Confirmed fitment spans the BPU 3545A, BPU 5045A, DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, and DPU 6055 series, making the 5000046366 a high-demand service item for contractors running a mixed fleet of reversible plates. Order with confidence knowing this is the exact part number called out in the Wacker Neuson parts documentation for these models.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Groove Geometry — Manufactured to the original raceway and groove profile so radial and axial load ratings match what the exciter assembly was engineered around.
- Drop-In Replacement — Shares the identical bore, outer diameter, and width as the factory bearing, so it seats correctly in the housing without shimming or modification.
- Broad BPU and DPU Fitment — Fits the BPU 3545A, BPU 5045A, DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, and DPU 6055 reversible vibratory plate compactors across multiple production variants.
- Sustains Compaction Force Output — A healthy bearing keeps the eccentric shaft spinning true; a worn or failed bearing causes vibration imbalance, reduced centrifugal force, and accelerated wear throughout the exciter housing.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied under part number 5000046366 directly within the Wacker Neuson parts network, ensuring traceability and conformance to the original bill of materials.
A grooved ball bearing — commonly called a deep-groove ball bearing — supports the rotating shafts inside a vibratory plate's exciter unit, handling both the radial loads generated by the spinning eccentric weights and any axial thrust transmitted through the drivetrain. In a reversible plate compactor like the BPU and DPU series, the exciter must sustain high cyclic loading at compaction frequencies throughout every working shift. When this bearing wears, develops flat spots, or loses its internal clearance, operators will notice increased noise, elevated heat at the housing, and a measurable drop in plate compaction force — all signs that this part is due for replacement.
