The Wacker Neuson Tension Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications required for proper operation of these heavy-duty diesel reversible plates. It fits both the standard DPU 100-70 and the DPU 100-70Le vibroplates, making it a straightforward, correct-fit replacement when the original spring shows signs of wear or loss of tension.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Rate: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original tension specification, ensuring the spring delivers the correct load and return force — not an approximation.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to the same hook style, coil diameter, and free length as the factory spring, so it seats into the original mounting points without rework.
- Confirmed Fitment: — Compatible with the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le reversible vibratory plate compactors (Wacker Neuson part 5000209027).
- Sustained Compaction Consistency: — A correctly tensioned spring maintains proper component engagement within the drive or control linkage, keeping the plate's reversal and vibration behavior predictable and controlled.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: — Built to withstand the vibration-heavy, dirt-exposed environment typical of soil and aggregate compaction work on active job sites.
A tension spring in a reversible vibratory plate compactor applies a controlled return or engagement force to a mechanical linkage — commonly within the forward/reverse control mechanism or exciter assembly. When the spring is functioning correctly, it keeps components properly preloaded so the operator gets consistent, predictable response when changing direction or managing vibration output. When a tension spring stretches, fatigues, or breaks, that preload is lost — leading to sluggish or erratic control response, premature wear on connected components, and reduced compaction performance. Replacing a worn spring promptly keeps the machine's mechanical system operating as Wacker Neuson designed it.
