The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5545H, DPU 6055, DPU 6555H, and DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact engineering specifications required to maintain proper compaction force and exciter performance across the full DPU family. The is a direct-fit replacement that installs into the exciter assembly without any modification to the housing or drive components. With broad coverage spanning diesel reversible vibratory plates from the DPU 4045H through the DPU 7060, this centrifugal weight keeps your machine delivering the compaction output it was built for.
Key Features
- Correct Mass and Balance — Manufactured to OEM centrifugal weight specifications, ensuring the exciter generates the correct compaction force amplitude for the DPU series.
- Direct Exciter Assembly Fit — Engineered to drop into the exciter housing of compatible DPU models with no alteration to mounting points or drive shafts.
- Wide DPU Series Coverage — Compatible with DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5545H, DPU 6055, DPU 6555H, and DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plates.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly weighted and balanced centrifugal weight keeps the exciter producing full vibration amplitude; a worn or out-of-spec weight causes uneven compaction and premature exciter bearing wear.
- Genuine OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic Wacker Neuson component, built to the same tolerances as the original part fitted at the factory.
The centrifugal weight sits inside the exciter assembly of a reversible vibratory plate compactor and is the core component responsible for generating vibration. As the exciter shaft spins, the rotating mass of the centrifugal weight creates the eccentric force that drives the compaction plate up and down against the ground surface. The direction of compaction travel on a reversible plate is controlled by shifting the angular relationship of opposing weights, so the mass and balance of each weight must be exact. If a centrifugal weight wears, cracks, or loses mass, the exciter can no longer produce consistent amplitude, resulting in reduced compaction depth, erratic plate movement, and accelerated wear on the exciter bearings and housing.
