The Wacker Neuson Clutch Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for DS70 and DS720 series diesel vibratory rammers. This is a direct OEM replacement sourced through authorized Wacker Neuson supply channels, ensuring the spring meets the original tension and geometry specifications required for proper clutch engagement. Compatible across a broad range of DS70 and DS720 configurations, including 280mm/11in and 330mm/13in shoe variants, this part covers both EPA-compliant and standard models in the DS rammer lineup.
Key Features
- Correct Spring Tension for Clutch Engagement: — Manufactured to the original tension specification, ensuring the clutch engages and releases at the correct RPM threshold for consistent rammer performance.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts network, this is the same spring installed during original assembly — not an approximation.
- Broad DS Rammer Compatibility: — Fits multiple DS70 and DS720 configurations across 280mm/11in and 330mm/13in shoe sizes, covering both standard and EPA-compliant variants.
- Drop-In Installation: — Matches the original spring dimensions and hook profile, seating into the clutch assembly without modification or rework.
- Protects Clutch System Longevity: — A fatigued or broken clutch spring causes erratic engagement, clutch slippage, and accelerated wear on surrounding clutch components — replacing it promptly keeps the drivetrain operating cleanly.
The clutch spring in a diesel vibratory rammer is a critical component within the centrifugal clutch assembly. It holds the clutch shoes retracted at idle speed and allows them to engage the clutch drum as engine RPM rises, transferring drive power to the ramming mechanism. When the spring loses tension or breaks, the clutch may slip under load, engage at the wrong RPM, or fail to disengage at idle — causing rough operation, loss of compaction force, and potential damage to the clutch drum. Replacing a worn clutch spring restores the correct engagement behavior and protects the broader clutch assembly from premature wear.
