Wacker Neuson 5000117220 Breather Plate Complete

The Wacker Neuson Breather Plate Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for VP-series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP50H, VP60H, VP50Hw, VP60Hw, and VPR1330 models. As a direct OEM replacement, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part, ensuring correct fit and proper function within the exciter housing. This part serves a critical role in the compactor's ventilation system, and sourcing it as a genuine Wacker Neuson component means no guesswork on compatibility or fitment across supported VP-series machines.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Venting Integrity — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the original material and dimensional spec, ensuring the breather passage seals and vents exactly as designed for the exciter housing.
• Drop-In Assembly Replacement — Supplied as a complete plate assembly, this unit replaces the entire breather component in a single service step without the need to source individual sub-components.
• Broad VP-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across the VP50H, VP60H, VP50Hw, VP60Hw, and VPR1330 vibratory plate compactors, covering both standard and heavy-duty configurations in this single-direction plate family.
• Protects Exciter Housing from Pressure Buildup — A properly functioning breather plate regulates internal pressure in the exciter unit; a failed or clogged breather can cause seal blowout, oil leaks, and premature exciter failure.
• Verified Part Number for Confident Ordering — OEM part number 5000117220 maps directly to supported VP-series models, eliminating fitment uncertainty when ordering for fleet maintenance or field repair.

The breather plate on a vibratory plate compactor allows the exciter housing — the sealed unit that generates the vibration force — to equalize internal air pressure as operating temperatures rise and fall. Without a functioning breather plate, pressure differentials can build up inside the exciter, forcing oil past the shaft seals and causing leaks or accelerated wear on internal components. A complete, undamaged breather plate keeps the exciter system properly ventilated, protecting the oil charge and the bearings it lubricates throughout the compactor's service life.
