The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Clutch is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPS 2550A single-direction vibratory plate compactor. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the original, ensuring it seats and engages exactly as the machine was built to operate. The BPS 2550A is a 25 kN plate compactor used for soil, aggregate base, asphalt, and paving stone compaction, and the centrifugal clutch is a core drivetrain component that must perform reliably under continuous load. Verify your machine's part number against before ordering to confirm fitment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engagement Specs: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original engagement RPM and torque transfer tolerances, so the clutch locks up at the correct speed without slipping or dragging.
- Drop-In Drivetrain Fit: — Engineered to match the original mounting interface on the BPS 2550A, allowing straightforward installation without machining or adaptation.
- BPS 2550A Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment for the BPS 2550A single-direction vibratory plate compactor (25 kN, 50 cm/20 in working width).
- Consistent Plate Excitation: — A correctly functioning centrifugal clutch delivers smooth, consistent power transfer to the exciter, maintaining steady compaction force across the full working pass.
- Drivetrain Protection: — The centrifugal design allows the engine to reach operating speed before engaging the exciter, protecting both the engine and drivetrain components from shock loads at startup.
The centrifugal clutch on a vibratory plate compactor acts as the automatic link between the engine and the exciter mechanism. At idle, the clutch remains disengaged, allowing the engine to start and warm up freely. As engine speed rises to the operating threshold, centrifugal force causes the clutch shoes to expand outward and lock into the drum, transferring rotational power to the exciter and generating the plate's compaction vibration. When this component wears or fails, the plate may lose compaction force, vibrate inconsistently, or fail to engage at all — directly affecting compaction quality and output.
