The Wacker Neuson Exciter Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD16-100 hydrostatic vibratory roller and CB14B-1000 series soil and asphalt compaction rollers. As a direct OEM part, it meets the exact specifications set by Wacker Neuson for mass, balance, and fit within the exciter assembly. This genuine replacement ensures that drum vibration output is restored to the correct amplitude and frequency your compaction work demands. Confirm your model and serial number against the fitment data to verify the is the right exciter weight for your machine.
Key Features
- Correct Mass and Balance Specification — Manufactured to OEM tolerances, this exciter weight delivers the precise centrifugal force needed to produce rated drum vibration amplitude on your roller.
- Drop-In Exciter Assembly Fit — Engineered to the original mounting configuration, so the weight installs directly into the exciter housing without rework or shimming.
- Fits RD16-100 and CB14B-1000 Rollers — Compatible with RD16-100 hydrostatic vibratory rollers and CB14B-1000 soil and asphalt compaction rollers across multiple serial number ranges.
- Restores Full Compaction Force — A worn or damaged exciter weight reduces vibration amplitude, leaving lifts under-compacted. Replacing it brings drum energy back to specification so passes are effective and consistent.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000172266 is manufactured to the same standards as the original production component.
The exciter weight is a core element of a vibratory roller's drum exciter assembly. It spins on the eccentric shaft inside the drum, and its mass and offset generate the centrifugal force that causes the drum to vibrate. That vibration is what drives compaction energy into the material beneath the roller — without it, the machine functions only as a static roller, significantly reducing compaction effectiveness. When an exciter weight cracks, loses mass, or becomes unbalanced, operators typically notice reduced amplitude, abnormal drum vibration, or unusual noise from the drum. Replacing the 5000172266 exciter weight returns the drum to its rated vibration output and protects the surrounding exciter components from the stress of imbalanced operation.
