The Wacker Neuson Tension Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This spring is a direct-fit replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, engineered to the same specification as the original part installed at the factory. Fitment spans a wide range of models including the DPU 2540H, DPU 2560H-TS, BPU 3050A, DPU 3060H-TS, DPU 3750Hts, DPU 3760Hets, BPU 3750Ats, and BPU 2540A, among others. When your compactor needs a tension spring replacement, ordering the correct OEM part number ensures the part fits and functions exactly as intended.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Tension Rating — Manufactured to the exact load and extension specification required for correct reversing plate compactor operation — no guesswork on spring rate or hook geometry.
- Drop-In Fitment for BPU and DPU Compactors — Installs directly into the same anchor points as the original, covering BPU gasoline-powered and DPU diesel-powered reversible plate compactor variants.
- Broad Model Coverage — Compatible with DPU 2540H through DPU 3760Hets, BPU 2540A through BPU 3750Ats, including TS (traction system) and HE (electric-start) variants and US-spec models.
- Compaction Direction Control Depends on This Part — A correctly tensioned spring keeps the reversing mechanism responsive and precise; a fatigued or broken spring causes sluggish or failed directional switching, reducing compaction productivity.
- Verified Wacker Neuson OEM Part Number — Part number 5000201724 is the authorized Wacker Neuson reference, ensuring you receive the correct spring for your specific machine configuration.
The tension spring in a reversible vibratory plate compactor is part of the directional control mechanism that allows the machine to switch between forward and reverse travel. It applies the correct return force to the exciter or control linkage so that the operator's input translates reliably into a change of direction. When this spring fatigues, stretches, or breaks, the plate may lose the ability to reverse cleanly, become unpredictable to control, or stop responding to directional inputs altogether — making efficient compaction of soil and aggregate in confined trenches or tight areas difficult or impossible.
