The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Clutch Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS65Y variable speed vibratory rammer and the BH 22, BH 23, and BH 24 series gasoline breakers. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring correct engagement characteristics within the centrifugal clutch assembly. This spring is confirmed to fit multiple configurations across the BH 23, BH 23 RS, BH 24, and BH 24 Low Vib model variants, as well as the BS65Y rammer. When your clutch spring wears or loses tension, replacing it with a genuine part like the restores the clutch's ability to engage and disengage cleanly at the correct engine speed.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Tension: — Manufactured to the original tension specification, so the clutch engages at the correct RPM threshold — not too early, not too late.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original spring geometry and hook configuration for straightforward installation within the centrifugal clutch assembly.
- Broad Model Coverage: — Fits BS65Y vibratory rammers and the full BH 22, BH 23, BH 23 RS, BH 24, and BH 24 Low Vib gasoline breaker families across multiple tool holder configurations.
- Restores Clean Clutch Engagement: — A worn or fatigued spring causes slipping, delayed engagement, or failure to disengage at idle — replacing it brings the clutch back to crisp, responsive operation.
- Operational Safety — Clutch Integrity: — A correctly tensioned clutch spring ensures the tool stops transmitting power when the engine returns to idle, which is critical for operator control on breakers and rammers.
The centrifugal clutch spring holds the clutch shoes retracted against the drum when the engine is at idle speed, preventing the tool from engaging unintentionally. As engine RPM rises, centrifugal force overcomes the spring tension and pushes the shoes outward to drive the machine. When the spring weakens or breaks, the clutch may drag at idle, engage erratically, or fail to release — causing the breaker or rammer to run continuously or lose consistent striking power. Replacing the spring restores the precise engagement threshold the machine was designed around.
