The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Clutch is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This factory-sourced part covers a wide range of models including the BPU 3050A, BPU 3750Ats, DPU 3050H, DPU 3060H, DPU 3070H, DPU 3750Hts, DPU 3760Hts, and their respective TS, HE, and US variants. As a genuine Wacker Neuson part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a direct drop-in fit with no guesswork. Keep your reversible plate compactor operating at full capacity with a clutch built to handle the demands of soil and aggregate compaction work.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engagement Spec — Manufactured to the exact centrifugal engagement speed and torque capacity of the original clutch, maintaining proper power transfer from engine to exciter.
- Direct Drop-In Fitment — Designed to bolt in place of the original unit on BPU and DPU series plates, using the same mounting interface and shaft dimensions as the factory assembly.
- Broad Model Coverage — Fits BPU 3050A, BPU 3750Ats, DPU 3050H, DPU 3060H, DPU 3070H, DPU 3750Hts, DPU 3760Hts, and related TS, HE, and US variants across both gasoline and diesel reversible plate lines.
- Smooth, Progressive Power Transfer — A correctly functioning centrifugal clutch allows the engine to reach operating RPM before engaging the exciter, protecting the drivetrain and reducing stress on startup.
- Sourced Direct from Wacker Neuson — Genuine OEM parts carry the full backing of the Wacker Neuson parts program, so you know you're installing a component that meets the original design intent.
The centrifugal clutch on a reversible vibratory plate compactor is the link between the engine and the exciter unit that drives compaction. It works by using centrifugal force generated as the engine spins up — once the engine reaches a set RPM, weighted flyweights inside the clutch engage the drum, transferring power to the exciter shaft. This automatic engagement protects the engine from stall under load at startup and allows the operator to work without a manual clutch lever. When the clutch wears or fails, symptoms include slipping under load, difficulty reaching full compaction force, excessive heat, or the exciter failing to engage entirely — all of which reduce productivity and can cause further drivetrain damage if left unaddressed.
