The Wacker Neuson Cylinder with Piston is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part matches the exact dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications of the original factory component. It covers a broad range of DPU configurations including He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, and Hechzf variants, as well as US-market models. When your compactor's engine compression drops or internal wear reaches the cylinder and piston assembly, replacing it with part number restores the engine to full working condition and keeps your machine productive on the jobsite.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Bore and Wall Thickness — Manufactured to the same internal diameter and wall specification as the original, ensuring correct compression ratios and piston travel in Wacker Neuson DPU-series engines.
- Direct-Fit Assembly — The cylinder and piston ship as a matched unit, simplifying installation and eliminating the guesswork of sourcing and pairing separate components.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Compatible across DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 model families, spanning multiple configuration suffixes and US-market variants.
- Restored Engine Compression — A worn or scored cylinder causes loss of compression, hard starting, and reduced compaction force. Replacing this assembly returns engine output to specification so the plate delivers full centrifugal force.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied under part number 5000217089 directly from the manufacturer, ensuring traceability and conformance with Wacker Neuson's original engineering design.
The cylinder and piston assembly is the heart of a four-stroke engine's power stroke. The cylinder provides the sealed combustion chamber in which the air-fuel mixture ignites, while the piston converts that combustion pressure into the rotating crankshaft motion that ultimately drives the exciter unit and generates the vibratory compaction force. On a reversible vibratory plate like the DPU series, consistent engine output is critical — any loss of cylinder-to-piston sealing reduces centrifugal force and compaction effectiveness, resulting in undertreated base material. Wear typically presents as loss of compression, excessive oil consumption, or blue exhaust smoke, all of which signal that the cylinder and piston assembly requires inspection and replacement.
