Wacker Neuson 5000094870 Counterweight

The Wacker Neuson Counterweight is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original component installed on these machines at the factory. It is compatible across a wide range of DPU variant configurations including He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, Hecsh, and US-market models. Verify your machine's model and serial number against the fitment list to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Mass and Balance Specification — Manufactured to the precise weight and dimensional tolerances required to maintain correct eccentric shaft balance on DPU-series reversible plates.
• Broad DPU Series Coverage — Fits DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 models across He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, Hecsh, and US-market configurations.
• Direct-Mount Replacement — Designed to bolt into the original mounting position with no modification to the exciter housing or shaft assembly.
• Restores Full Compaction Output — A correctly weighted counterweight ensures the exciter unit generates its rated centrifugal force, keeping the plate performing at full compaction capacity on soil and aggregate.
• Prevents Eccentric Shaft Wear — An out-of-spec or damaged counterweight places uneven load on the exciter bearings; replacing it with a genuine part protects the surrounding drivetrain components from accelerated wear.

The counterweight on a reversible vibratory plate compactor is mounted to the eccentric shaft inside the exciter housing and is the component responsible for generating the centrifugal force that drives the plate's compaction vibration. By rotating off-center, it creates the oscillating force transmitted through the baseplate and into the ground. If the counterweight is damaged, worn, or missing, the machine will produce reduced or uneven compaction force, which directly compromises compaction depth and soil density results. Keeping this component in good condition is essential to the machine performing at its rated output.
