The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Crankshaft Complete designed for the VP and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R. As a factory-original component, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances and specifications required by these machines, ensuring a direct, proper fit within the engine assembly. Confirm your model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific machine configuration.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact dimensional specs for correct bearing journal fit and proper counterweight balance, critical for a crankshaft operating under continuous vibratory load.
- Direct Engine Assembly Fit — Engineered to drop into the existing engine block without modification, mating precisely with connecting rod, bearings, and seals as originally designed.
- Broad VP and AP Series Coverage — Fits VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R vibratory plate compactors across Wacker Neuson's single-direction plate lineup.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly functioning crankshaft converts engine power into consistent eccentric-shaft rotation, maintaining centrifugal force output and compaction performance. A worn or damaged crankshaft causes vibration loss, excessive engine noise, and potential engine seizure.
- Complete Assembly — Supplied as a Crankshaft Complete, meaning all integrated components are included, simplifying the rebuild process and eliminating the need to source sub-components separately.
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of the engine, converting the up-and-down motion of the piston into rotational force that ultimately drives the exciter unit and produces the plate's compaction vibration. In a vibratory plate compactor, the crankshaft operates under sustained mechanical stress and high rotational speeds, making dimensional accuracy and material integrity essential to long service life. When a crankshaft becomes worn, scored, or damaged, the result is loss of engine power, increased vibration throughout the drivetrain, oil leaks past compromised seals, and — if left unaddressed — complete engine failure.
