The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Shim Ring designed for DPU and BPU reversible vibratory plate compactors across the 2540, 2550, 2560, 3050, 3060, 3070, and 3750 series. As a factory-sourced component, this shim ring is manufactured to the exact tolerances required to maintain proper bearing preload and shaft alignment within the compactor's exciter assembly. Verified fitment spans a broad range of models including the DPU 2540H, DPU 3050H, BPU 2540A, BPU 3050A, BPU 3750Ats, DPU 3750Hts, and their US-market and TS-suffix variants. When you need a direct, by-the-numbers replacement, part number is the correct factory call.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Tolerance: — Manufactured to the precise thickness specification required for correct bearing preload in the exciter unit — not a close approximation.
- Drop-In Fitment Across DPU and BPU Families: — Installs directly into the exciter assembly with no shimming or custom fitting; compatible with both diesel (DPU) and gasoline (BPU) reversible plate compactor variants.
- Broad Model Coverage: — Confirmed fit across the 2540, 2550, 2560, 3050, 3060, 3070, and 3750 series, including TS, HE, HEts, and US-market configurations.
- Maintains Exciter Assembly Integrity: — A correctly seated shim ring keeps eccentric shaft end-play within spec, preventing premature bearing wear and loss of compaction force.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, ensuring the part number, material grade, and dimensional spec match the original component exactly.
A shim ring is a precision-thickness spacer used inside the exciter assembly of a vibratory plate compactor to set and maintain the correct axial clearance on the eccentric shaft and its associated bearings. By controlling how tightly the bearing assembly is loaded, the shim ring directly influences how efficiently rotational energy is converted into compaction force — and how long the bearings themselves last. When a shim ring wears, becomes deformed, or is installed at the wrong thickness, the result is excess shaft end-play, increased vibration at the wrong frequencies, accelerated bearing failure, and ultimately a loss of effective compaction output.
