The Wacker Neuson Deflector is a genuine OEM component designed for VP and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP1135R, VP1135RW, VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R. As a direct OEM part, the is manufactured to the same standards as the original, ensuring it installs and seats correctly in your machine without guesswork. This deflector is sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts network, making it a trustworthy choice for operators who need a verified replacement on their compaction equipment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Formed to the exact profile and material grade of the original, ensuring proper airflow and debris direction specific to the VP and AP plate compactor chassis.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting points and geometry of the 5000158428 application, slotting into place without rework or modification to the baseplate housing.
- Broad VP and AP Series Compatibility: — Fits across the VP1135R, VP1340R, VP1550R, VP2050R, and AP1550R families, covering both standard and wide-plate configurations.
- Maintains Compaction Performance: — A correctly functioning deflector keeps material, debris, and airflow directed away from critical components; a cracked or missing deflector can allow ingress that accelerates wear on adjacent parts.
- Verified Part Number: — Ordered and stocked under part number 5000158428, eliminating compatibility uncertainty when reordering or cross-referencing with machine documentation.
The deflector on a vibratory plate compactor is a formed shield or channeling component that directs material, dust, and airflow away from sensitive mechanical areas during operation. On VP and AP series plates, this part plays a protective role — keeping loose aggregate, water, and fine debris from reaching engine, drive, or vibration components that sit close to the working surface. When the deflector cracks, deforms, or goes missing entirely, that protection is lost, leaving internal components exposed to the abrasive conditions common to soil prep, asphalt, and paving stone applications.
