The Wacker Neuson Drive Gear is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 9070 and DPU 100-70 reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this drive gear delivers the same dimensional accuracy and material specification as the part it replaces, ensuring the exciter unit operates exactly as Wacker Neuson intended. It is confirmed compatible with both the DPU 9070 and the DPU 100-70 — heavy-duty diesel-powered reversible plates used in demanding soil and aggregate compaction applications. When you need an exact-match replacement to get your plate back in service, sourcing the genuine OEM part removes any guesswork from the repair.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Gear Geometry — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original tooth profile and material hardness specs, so meshing loads are distributed exactly as designed within the exciter housing.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting interface and shaft dimensions of the DPU 9070 and DPU 100-70 exciter assemblies, allowing straightforward installation without machining or shimming.
- DPU 9070 and DPU 100-70 Compatibility — Verified fitment across both heavy-duty diesel reversible plate models, covering a wide range of high-force compaction worksites.
- Sustained Compaction Force — A correctly functioning drive gear transmits rotational force to the eccentric weights without slippage or backlash, maintaining full centrifugal output and consistent plate travel direction.
- Wear-Resistant Construction — Engineered from a gear-grade material that resists the continuous cyclic loading inherent to vibratory exciter systems, outlasting undersized or improperly hardened alternatives.
The drive gear sits inside the exciter housing of a reversible vibratory plate compactor and transfers rotational power from the drive shaft to the eccentric weight assembly. By controlling the direction and speed at which the eccentric weights spin, the gear directly determines the direction of plate travel — forward or reverse — and the intensity of the compaction force delivered to the ground. When the drive gear wears, chips, or fails, the plate may lose the ability to reverse reliably, produce inconsistent vibration output, or generate abnormal noise from the exciter unit, all of which compromise compaction quality and can lead to more extensive drivetrain damage if left unaddressed.
