Wacker Neuson 5000126164 Slide Bush

The Wacker Neuson Slide Bush is a genuine OEM component designed for DPU, BPU, and APU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, part is manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact specifications, ensuring correct clearances and material grade for the demanding operating environment inside a reversible plate compactor. Fitment spans a wide range of models across the DPU 2540H, DPU 3050H, DPU 4045, DPU 4545, DPU 5545, DPU 6555, BPU 2540, BPU 3050, BPU 3750, BPU 5545, and APU series. Sourcing the correct genuine part by part number is the most reliable way to ensure proper function and longevity of the exciter assembly.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Material Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's specified bearing material grade, maintaining the correct hardness and surface finish required for smooth, low-friction sliding motion in the exciter housing.
• Drop-In Fitment Across a Wide Model Range — Replaces the original slide bush position-for-position in DPU, BPU, and APU reversible plate compactors, with no rework needed during installation.
• Broad Series Compatibility — Verified fitment across DPU 2500–6555 series, BPU 2540–5545 series, and APU 2840–3360 series machines, making it a practical stocking part for mixed fleets.
• Sustained Exciter Performance — A correctly fitted slide bush maintains proper shaft alignment within the exciter unit, preserving centrifugal force output and the compactor's reversing capability. A worn bush leads to vibration loss, erratic directional response, and accelerated wear on surrounding components.
• Verified Part Number Traceability — Ordered and documented by Wacker Neuson part number 5000126164, ensuring you receive the correct component and maintain accurate service records.

The slide bush is a precision bushing located within the exciter assembly of a reversible vibratory plate compactor. It supports and guides the eccentric shaft or slide mechanism that generates the machine's directional vibration force, allowing the operator to drive the plate forward or reverse. When the slide bush wears, the shaft loses its correct bearing surface, causing increased play in the exciter, a noticeable drop in compaction force, and loss of smooth directional control. Replacing a worn slide bush promptly protects the exciter housing and shaft from secondary damage that is far more costly to repair.
