The Wacker Neuson Flywheel Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. This assembly fits the VP50H, VP60H, VP50Hw, VP60Hw, and VPR1330 vibratory plates, covering both standard and the 300mm/12-inch VPR1330 models. As a direct factory replacement, the meets the original engineering specifications for these machines, ensuring correct balance, mass, and interface geometry straight out of the box. Verify your model number before ordering to confirm compatibility with your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Balance and Mass Tolerancing — manufactured to the original rotational mass specification, which is critical for consistent compaction force output on a vibratory plate.
- Drop-In Engine Interface Fit — mounts directly to the engine crankshaft using the original bolt pattern and taper, requiring no machining or adapter hardware.
- Broad VP Series Compatibility — a single assembly covering VP50H, VP60H, VP50Hw, VP60Hw, and VPR1330 models, making it a practical stock item for fleets running multiple VP-series plates.
- Sustained Compaction Output — a correctly functioning flywheel maintains smooth, consistent vibratory energy transfer to the exciter; a worn or cracked flywheel can cause erratic plate movement, vibration imbalance, and engine stress.
- Verified Wacker Neuson OEM Part — supplied under part number 5000117274 directly within the Wacker Neuson parts catalog, giving you confidence you are ordering the correct assembly for these machines.
The flywheel on a vibratory plate compactor stores rotational energy from the engine and delivers it in a smooth, continuous flow to the exciter mechanism that drives the plate's up-and-down vibration. Its rotating mass acts as an energy buffer, evening out the power pulses between engine firing strokes so the exciter shaft receives steady, consistent input. When a flywheel cracks, becomes unbalanced, or fails at its crankshaft interface, the result is uneven vibration, increased engine wear, and a measurable drop in compaction force — all of which compromise soil or aggregate prep quality and can accelerate damage to surrounding drivetrain components.
