The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Indexing Bolt designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This direct-fit replacement is confirmed for a wide range of models including the BPU 3545A, BPU 5045A, DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, and DPU 6055, covering both gasoline-powered BPU and diesel-powered DPU configurations. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part meets the same exacting tolerances as the original component installed at the factory. When correct indexing function is critical to compactor operation, choosing the right OEM bolt ensures the mechanism engages and holds exactly as intended.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification: — Manufactured to the precise thread pitch, shank diameter, and material hardness required for positive indexing engagement in reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original bolt profile and threading so it installs directly into the existing indexing mechanism without alteration.
- Broad BPU and DPU Fitment: — Confirmed for BPU 3545A, BPU 5045A, DPU 4045H, DPU 4045Y, DPU 4045YE, DPU 5045H, DPU 5045He, and DPU 6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Maintains Directional Control Integrity: — A correctly functioning indexing bolt locks the exciter unit in the selected travel direction; a worn or missing bolt can cause unpredictable directional drift and loss of operator control.
- Operational Safety: — On reversible plates, the indexing bolt is a positive-lock component in the direction-change circuit. Using the correct OEM part maintains the designed locking force and prevents unintended plate movement during operation.
The indexing bolt is a positive-locking fastener within the travel-direction control mechanism of a reversible vibratory plate compactor. When the operator selects forward or reverse travel, this bolt engages to lock the exciter unit in the correct position, transferring vibratory force in the intended direction. If the bolt becomes worn, sheared, or missing, the plate may fail to hold its selected direction, resulting in erratic movement, reduced compaction efficiency, and a potential safety hazard on the worksite.
