The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM part, is manufactured to the same tolerances and material specifications as the original bearing installed at the factory, ensuring correct clearance between the connecting rod and crankshaft journal. This bearing fits an extensive range of DPU variants across all major configuration suffixes — including He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, and their US-market equivalents — making it a dependable stock item for fleets running multiple DPU models.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Bearing Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact journal clearance specifications, maintaining the oil film thickness the engine depends on for crankshaft and rod protection under load.
- Drop-In Engine Fitment — Engineered to seat correctly in the connecting rod bore without machining or shimming, supporting straightforward engine rebuilds and scheduled bearing replacements.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Confirmed fit across DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 reversible plate compactors, including He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, and US-spec variants.
- Engine Longevity Under Compaction Loads — A correctly fitted bearing sustains proper lubrication under the high cyclical loading that DPU diesel engines experience during continuous compaction work; a worn bearing causes rapid crankshaft damage and engine failure.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts network, carrying the full OEM part number 5000107222 for straightforward parts identification and ordering accuracy.
The connecting rod bearing sits between the connecting rod's big-end bore and the crankshaft journal, creating a precision oil-lubricated interface that converts the piston's up-and-down motion into crankshaft rotation. It carries the full combustion and compaction load transmitted through the piston on every power stroke, so maintaining correct bearing clearance is critical to engine health. When a connecting rod bearing wears or fails, oil pressure drops at that journal, metal-to-metal contact accelerates, and the result is crankshaft scoring or catastrophic rod failure — making timely replacement essential during any engine rebuild or at the first sign of bearing knock.
