The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Bearing Holder Cover, Exciter designed for VP-series vibratory plate compactors including the VPY1740, VPY1750, VPR1330, VPA1740, VPA1750, VPA1350W, VPA1340, VPX1740, and VPX1750. As a factory-sourced component, part is manufactured to the same tolerances and material specifications as the original part it replaces. This cover fits directly onto the exciter housing without modification, ensuring proper alignment and protection of the bearing holder assembly. If your VP-series plate compactor is showing signs of exciter housing wear, contamination, or cover damage, this is the correct replacement part to restore full function.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to exact material and dimensional tolerances for the exciter bearing holder, ensuring correct sealing and structural integrity under continuous vibration loads.
- Direct Housing Fit: — Mounts directly to the exciter assembly on compatible VP-series plates, aligning with existing fastener points and mating surfaces for a straightforward installation.
- Broad VP-Series Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment across multiple VP-series configurations including diesel-powered VPY models, gasoline VPA models, and base-unit VPX models in both 1740 and 1750 frame sizes, plus VPR1330, VPA1350W, and VPA1340.
- Exciter Protection: — Shields the bearing holder from debris, moisture, and mechanical damage, which is critical to maintaining consistent eccentric weight rotation and compaction output on asphalt, soil, and aggregate surfaces.
- Verified Part Number: — Sold under Wacker Neuson part number 5000088697, confirming this is the correct OEM cover for the models listed — cross-check your machine's serial plate before ordering.
The exciter unit on a vibratory plate compactor generates the high-frequency oscillation that drives compaction force into the material below. The bearing holder cover encloses and protects the bearing assembly within the exciter housing, keeping contaminants out and the internal components properly seated during operation. When this cover is cracked, missing, or worn, the bearing holder becomes exposed to dirt and moisture ingress, accelerating bearing wear and eventually leading to exciter failure — which means loss of compaction force and costly drivetrain damage if left unaddressed.
