The Wacker Neuson Eccentric Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specification as the original, ensuring the compaction force output of your machine stays exactly where it needs to be. It is confirmed to fit multiple BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H configurations, including the DPU 5045He US variant, making it a direct replacement across the 5045 platform.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Mass Accuracy — Manufactured to the exact weight specification required to deliver consistent centrifugal compaction force; even minor deviations in eccentric weight mass will affect compaction output and machine balance.
- Drop-In Replacement for the 5045 Platform — Engineered to bolt directly into the exciter housing of BPU 5045A and DPU 5045H reversible plates, matching original mounting dimensions and shaft interface.
- Broad 5045 Series Coverage — Fits BPU 5045A, DPU 5045H, and DPU 5045He US configurations, covering both gasoline and diesel reversible plate compactor variants in the 5045 family.
- Restores Full Compaction Output — A worn or damaged eccentric weight reduces the centrifugal force the plate generates, leading to under-compaction of soil or aggregate; replacing it restores the machine to its rated 50 kN compaction force.
- Vibration System Integrity — Correct eccentric weight balance is critical to smooth exciter operation; an out-of-spec weight causes abnormal vibration patterns that accelerate bearing wear throughout the exciter assembly.
The eccentric weight is the core component of a vibratory plate compactor's exciter unit. As it rotates on the exciter shaft, its offset mass generates centrifugal force, which is what drives the plate's compaction stroke into the ground. On a reversible plate like the BPU 5045A or DPU 5045H, a set of eccentric weights work in a phased arrangement to control both the intensity and direction of vibration, allowing the machine to travel forward and reverse. If an eccentric weight becomes cracked, worn, or loses mass, the compactor will produce noticeably weaker or uneven compaction force, and the imbalance will place additional stress on the exciter bearings and housing over time.
