The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Compression Spring designed for DPU and BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 5045H, DPU 4045H, DPU 6055, BPU 5045A, and BPU 3545A. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this component matches the original part specification fitted at the factory. Correct spring rate and geometry ensure the mechanism it supports operates within its designed load range — a detail that matters for reversible plate performance under continuous compaction cycles.
Key Features
- Correct Spring Rate for Reversible Plate Mechanisms — Engineered to the original load and deflection spec, ensuring the spring performs consistently through the full range of reversing-plate operation.
- Genuine OEM Part — Supplied by Wacker Neuson as part number 5000063972; identical in material grade and coil geometry to the spring installed during manufacture.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Sized to seat and secure exactly as the original, with no rework or adaptation needed at installation.
- Broad DPU and BPU Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across DPU 5045H, DPU 4045H, DPU 6055, BPU 5045A, and BPU 3545A reversible vibratory plates — covering both diesel and gasoline-powered models in the lineup.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly rated compression spring maintains proper mechanical engagement in the reversing system; a fatigued or broken spring can cause erratic plate movement, uneven compaction force, or loss of directional control.
A compression spring stores and releases mechanical energy to maintain tension, load, or positional return force within an assembly. In a reversible vibratory plate compactor, compression springs are commonly used in the travel and direction-control mechanism to hold components under the correct preload and return them to a neutral or set position after actuation. When a compression spring weakens, cracks, or breaks, the surrounding mechanism loses its designed operating force — which can appear as sluggish directional response, inconsistent forward or reverse travel, or increased wear on adjacent components. Replacing a fatigued spring promptly with the correct OEM part restores the mechanism to its specified operating condition and prevents secondary damage to the parts it interacts with.
