The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Eccentric Weight designed for DPU and BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 2440H, DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2450F, DPU 2450H, BPU 2440A, and BPU 2450A. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part matches the original component specification exactly, ensuring the compactor delivers its rated compaction force and consistent plate movement. Correct eccentric weight balance is critical to vibratory plate performance — a worn or damaged weight throws off the compaction amplitude and can accelerate wear across the entire exciter assembly. Keep your reversible plate running at full compaction output with the right OEM part installed.
Key Features
- Calibrated Mass and Balance: — Matched to OEM rotational balance specifications so the exciter unit produces consistent centrifugal force and correct compaction amplitude across the full operating range.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Manufactured to the same material grade and dimensional tolerances as the part that left the factory, ensuring a direct drop-in fit within the exciter housing with no reworking required.
- Broad DPU and BPU Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment across multiple 24 kN and 29 kN reversible vibratory plate models in the DPU 2440, DPU 2450, and BPU 2440/2450 series.
- Restores Full Compaction Output: — A correctly weighted exciter assembly allows the plate to deliver its rated centrifugal force, maintaining effective soil and aggregate compaction on every pass.
- Protects the Exciter Assembly: — Running with an unbalanced or damaged eccentric weight puts excessive stress on exciter bearings and housing components; replacing this part promptly limits the risk of broader exciter damage.
The eccentric weight is a core component of a vibratory plate compactor's exciter unit. As the engine drives the exciter shaft, the offset mass of the eccentric weight generates centrifugal force, which causes the plate to vibrate and transmit compaction energy down into the ground. On reversible plates like the DPU and BPU series, eccentric weights are typically arranged so their phase relationship can be shifted to change the direction of plate travel. When an eccentric weight cracks, chips, or loses mass, the exciter falls out of balance — compaction force drops, vibration becomes erratic, and bearing loads increase sharply, which can lead to costly secondary damage if left unaddressed.
