The Wacker Neuson Clutch Plate is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU 2540A and A5000/160 series reversible plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the same part installed at the factory — ensuring correct engagement geometry and material grade for the clutch system it serves. Compatible across the BPU 2540A, BPU 2540A US, A5000/160 ISO, and A5000/160 ANSI models, the drops in as a direct replacement with no guesswork on fitment.
Key Features
- OEM Friction Surface Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact friction material and thickness specifications, ensuring consistent clutch engagement under load rather than glazing or slipping prematurely.
- Direct Swap Installation — Matches the original plate dimensions and mounting interface on BPU 2540A and A5000/160 series compactors, so the clutch assembly goes back together as designed.
- Broad Series Compatibility — Fits BPU 2540A, BPU 2540A US, A5000/160 ISO, and A5000/160 ANSI models, covering both domestic and international machine configurations.
- Restores Full Drive Engagement — A worn or damaged clutch plate causes slipping, loss of compaction force, and erratic forward/reverse response; replacing it with a genuine plate brings full, predictable drive transmission back to the machine.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Part number 5000217461 is an authorized OEM component, giving you confidence that it meets the wear and heat resistance demands of a reversible plate compactor clutch system.
The clutch plate is a core friction component within the centrifugal clutch assembly that connects the engine's output to the exciter drive system of the plate compactor. When the engine reaches operating speed, the clutch engages and transfers rotational force through the plate to drive the machine's compaction mechanism. A worn or damaged clutch plate disrupts this power transfer — causing slippage under load, reduced compaction output, and excessive heat buildup that can accelerate wear on surrounding clutch components.
