The Wacker Neuson Crankshaft is a genuine OEM crankshaft designed for the WP1550RW and WP1550R single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original component installed on these 15 kN, 500 mm plates. It is a direct, verified replacement for operators and technicians performing a bottom-end rebuild or addressing crankshaft wear on either WP1550 variant. Confirm your machine's model number against before ordering to ensure a correct fit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Machined to the original journal diameters and stroke specifications, ensuring correct bearing clearance and proper eccentric weight timing on reassembly.
- Drop-In Compatibility — Engineered to seat directly into the WP1550RW and WP1550R crankcase without re-machining or custom fitting.
- WP1550 Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across both the WP1550RW and WP1550R single-direction vibratory plate compactor models.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly installed crankshaft maintains the full 15 kN centrifugal force output these plates are rated for; a worn or damaged crank reduces amplitude and compaction depth.
- Engine Integrity Assurance — As a rotating assembly component, using an OEM-spec crankshaft helps protect bearings, seals, and connecting rod components from premature wear caused by out-of-tolerance journals.
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of the engine, converting the linear force of the piston into rotational motion that drives the machine's exciter mechanism. On a vibratory plate compactor like the WP1550RW and WP1550R, that rotational output ultimately drives the eccentric weights that generate the compaction force delivered to the plate. When a crankshaft develops worn journals, scoring, or cracks, the engine loses compression efficiency, bearing wear accelerates rapidly, and the plate's compaction performance degrades — making prompt replacement critical to keeping these machines productive on soil and aggregate applications.
