The Wacker Neuson Tripping Pin is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM part, is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring consistent engagement and release of the reversing mechanism across a wide range of compactor models. This pin fits an extensive lineup including the BPU 2440A, BPU 2540A, BPU 3050A, DPU 2440H, DPU 2540H, DPU 2560H, DPU 2950, DPU 3050H, DPU 3060H, DPU 3070H, and many additional BPU and DPU variants. Sourcing a genuine Wacker Neuson part guarantees the dimensional accuracy and material grade required for a safety-critical reversing component.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Material and Tolerancing — Manufactured to the exact hardness and dimensional spec of the original tripping pin, maintaining the precise engagement force the reversing mechanism depends on.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Seats into the exciter housing the same way as the factory pin, requiring only standard hand tools and no machining or modification to the surrounding assembly.
- Broad BPU and DPU Fitment — Verified for a wide range of Wacker Neuson gasoline (BPU) and diesel (DPU) reversible vibratory plate compactors, including A-series, H-series, F-series, and TS-variant models from 24 kN to 30 kN compaction force classes.
- Directional Control Integrity — A properly functioning tripping pin is what allows the plate to switch between forward and reverse travel on demand; a worn or broken pin causes the machine to lose directional response entirely, stopping productive compaction.
- Operator Safety Relevance — Because the tripping pin directly governs the plate's direction of travel, using a correctly rated OEM pin prevents unpredictable machine movement that could pose a hazard to the operator.
The tripping pin is the mechanical trigger at the heart of the reversing exciter unit on a reversible vibratory plate compactor. When the operator activates the direction control, the tripping pin shifts position within the exciter housing, changing the phasing of the eccentric weights and causing the plate to move forward or backward. Without a fully intact pin, the exciter cannot change phase correctly, leaving the machine stuck in one direction or unable to respond to operator input at all. On a jobsite where tight maneuvering in trenches or around obstacles is routine, a failed tripping pin brings compaction work to an immediate stop.
