The Wacker Neuson Eccentric Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the original engineering specifications for the 70 kN compaction platform. It is a direct replacement for the factory eccentric shaft in these heavy-duty diesel reversible plates, ensuring the vibration system performs exactly as intended. Verified fitment against Wacker Neuson parts documentation means you can order with confidence.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision Balancing — Machined to the exact mass and geometry specification of the original, ensuring the eccentric weight generates the correct vibration amplitude and frequency for full 70 kN compaction output.
- Drop-In Replacement for DPU 7060 Series — Engineered to install directly into the exciter housing of DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet plates without rework or modification to surrounding components.
- Restores Full Compaction Force — A worn or damaged eccentric shaft causes uneven vibration, reduced compaction depth, and excessive bearing wear; replacing it brings the plate back to rated performance on soil and aggregate compaction work.
- Built for Heavy-Duty Diesel Reversible Plate Demands — The DPU 7060 platform operates under sustained high-load cycling; this shaft is manufactured to withstand the rotational stress and bearing loads those conditions place on the exciter assembly.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Part number 5000097685 is an authorized Wacker Neuson component, traceable to the original OEM bill of materials for this machine family.
The eccentric shaft sits inside the exciter housing of a vibratory plate compactor and is the core component responsible for generating the machine's compaction force. As it rotates at high speed, the off-center mass creates an imbalanced centrifugal force that drives the base plate in a rapid up-and-down vibration pattern, transmitting energy into the ground to densify soil, aggregate, or granular fill. When the eccentric shaft is worn, cracked, or out of balance, the plate loses compaction efficiency — output force drops, vibration becomes irregular, and bearing assemblies throughout the exciter housing experience accelerated wear. Replacing the shaft with a correct OEM part like the Wacker Neuson 5000097685 is essential to restoring the machine to its rated 70 kN compaction specification.
