The Wacker Neuson Eccentric Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the VPG165V and VPG165A vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications required for proper compaction performance on the 587mm/18in vibratory plate platform. It is a direct-fit replacement that installs into the exciter housing without modification, restoring the machine to its original operating spec. Confirmed fitment covers both the VPG165V and VPG165A series.
Key Features
- Correct Eccentric Mass: — Manufactured to OEM-specified mass and geometry, ensuring the correct centrifugal compaction force output is restored after replacement.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part: — Supplied as an authentic OEM component under part number 5003006111, built to the same standard as the original installed unit.
- Direct Exciter Housing Fit: — Engineered to seat correctly within the exciter assembly of the VPG165V and VPG165A 587mm/18in vibratory plates, aligning with existing mounting points.
- Restores Full Compaction Output: — A worn or damaged eccentric weight reduces vibration amplitude, leading to under-compacted base layers. Replacing it brings the plate back to rated compaction depth and force.
- Confirmed VPG165 Series Fitment: — Verified for the VPG165V and VPG165A vibratory plate compactors, so you can order with confidence for those specific machines.
The eccentric weight is the core component inside a vibratory plate's exciter assembly responsible for generating the centrifugal force that drives the plate's vibration. As the shaft spins, the offset mass of the eccentric weight creates an imbalance that translates into the rapid, repetitive impact force used to compact soil, aggregate, and paving stone beneath the plate. When the eccentric weight wears, cracks, or becomes damaged, the machine loses vibration intensity — resulting in weaker compaction, uneven surface consolidation, and passes that fail to meet grade or density requirements. Replacing it with a correctly specified OEM part like the 5003006111 restores the machine's full compaction capability.
