The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Eccentric Weight designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is manufactured to the exact specifications required by Wacker Neuson for use in the BPU 2950A, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2950Y, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 models. Sourcing the correct eccentric weight by part number ensures the compactor delivers the centrifugal force output it was engineered to produce. Drop-in fitment means no guesswork — this is the same component installed at the factory.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Mass Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact weight and balance specification, ensuring the correct centrifugal force output for each supported model.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to mount directly to the exciter shaft assembly in BPU and DPU plate compactors without machining or adjustment.
- Broad BPU and DPU Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across the BPU 2950A and DPU 2870, 2950, 2950Y, 2960, and 2970 reversible vibratory plate compactor lineup.
- Restore Full Compaction Output — A correctly weighted eccentric restores centrifugal force to rated levels, so your plate compactor achieves proper soil and aggregate compaction depth on every pass.
- Genuine Part Traceability — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5000047389, giving you a verified match against your machine's parts manual and service documentation.
The eccentric weight is the core component inside a vibratory plate compactor's exciter housing. As it rotates at high speed, the offset mass generates centrifugal force that drives the compaction plate up and down, transmitting energy into the ground to densify soil, aggregate, or sub-base material. When the eccentric weight is worn, cracked, or incorrectly balanced, centrifugal force drops and the plate loses compaction effectiveness — resulting in uneven density, increased pass counts, and potential substrate failure under load. Replacing a damaged eccentric weight with the correct OEM part restores the machine to its rated performance and keeps compaction results consistent and measurable.
