The Wacker Neuson Adjusting Washer is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts program, this adjusting washer meets the exact dimensional and material standards of the original part installed at the factory. Fitment covers the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plates — confirm your machine's model number before ordering to ensure a direct swap. When internal tolerances are off, compaction performance suffers; replacing a worn or out-of-spec washer with the correct restores proper component alignment and drive train integrity.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Dimensional Spec — Manufactured to the original thickness and material grade, ensuring correct spacing and load distribution within the drive assembly.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Matches the original mounting position and interface, so no additional machining or shimming is needed during reassembly.
- Confirmed Fitment for DPU 100-70 Series — Verified for DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Protects Drive Train Alignment — A correctly sized adjusting washer maintains proper component spacing, preventing premature wear on adjacent bearings and drive components.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic replacement, carrying the part number 5000208971 for straightforward cross-referencing and parts verification.
An adjusting washer is a precision-ground shim used to control axial clearance and component positioning within a drive or gear assembly. In a reversible vibratory plate compactor like the DPU 100-70 series, maintaining correct internal spacing is critical — even a small deviation can cause uneven load transfer, increased vibration stress on bearings, and accelerated wear across the exciter unit. When an adjusting washer wears down or is lost during service, replacing it with the correctly specified part restores the designed clearance and keeps the drive assembly running within its intended operating range.
