Wacker Neuson 5000220073 Tripping Pin

The Wacker Neuson Tripping Pin is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU, DPU, and APU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this tripping pin meets the exact specifications of the original part installed at the factory. It is compatible with a wide range of models including the DPU 2540H, DPU 2560H, BPU 2540A, BPU 3050A, DPU 3050H, DPU 3750Hts, BPU 3750Ats, APU 3050e, APU 2840e, APU 2850e, APU 3350e, and many more across the BPU, DPU, and APU compactor families. When your reversible plate compactor needs a tripping pin replacement, using the correct OEM part ensures proper engagement of the direction-control mechanism and keeps your machine running as designed.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Specification: — Machined to Wacker Neuson's original tolerances, ensuring the tripping pin engages the exciter mechanism with the correct force and travel distance required for reliable direction switching.
• Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting geometry and pin dimensions exactly, so it installs directly into the exciter housing without modification.
• Broad Compactor Compatibility: — Fits DPU 2540H through DPU 3760H, BPU 2540A through BPU 3750Ats, and APU 2840e through APU 3360e series reversible vibratory plate compactors.
• Maintains Direction-Control Performance: — A worn or damaged tripping pin can cause sluggish or failed direction changes, leaving the plate compactor unable to reverse; a fresh OEM pin restores crisp, responsive switching.
• Supports Diesel, Gasoline, and Battery-Powered Models: — Covers the full BPU (gasoline), DPU (diesel), and APU (battery-electric) reversible plate compactor lines, making it a versatile stocking part for mixed fleets.

The tripping pin is a key component within the exciter unit of a reversible vibratory plate compactor. When the operator shifts the direction lever, the tripping pin actuates the eccentric weight adjustment inside the exciter housing, changing the direction of the vibratory force and allowing the plate to travel forward or backward. Without a functioning tripping pin, the machine loses its ability to reverse direction — a critical capability for working in trenches, tight spaces, and confined compaction zones. A worn, bent, or broken tripping pin results in sluggish direction changes or a plate that is stuck travelling in one direction, making prompt replacement essential for maintaining full compactor productivity.
