The Wacker Neuson Bonnet Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for the AR 36/3 and AR 36/3.6 series external concrete vibrators. As a direct factory replacement, this part is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original, ensuring it installs correctly and performs as intended across the full range of compatible AR series models. This bonnet complete covers voltage variants spanning 115 V, 230 V, 240 V, 400 V, 440 V, 460 V, 480 V, and 500 V configurations, making it a widely applicable service part for fleets running multiple AR 36 units.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Housing Integrity — Manufactured to original dimensional tolerances, ensuring the bonnet seats and seals correctly against the vibrator body without gaps or misalignment.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting pattern and profile of the AR 36 series bonnet, so installation follows the standard service procedure without adaptation.
- Broad Voltage Compatibility — A single part number covers AR 36/3 and AR 36/3.6 models across 115 V, 230 V, 240 V, 400 V, 440 V, 460 V, 480 V, and 500 V variants.
- Protects Internal Components — A correctly fitted bonnet shields the motor and eccentric mass assembly from concrete splatter, moisture, and jobsite debris that accelerate internal wear.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, carrying the same part number (5000218730) used by authorized service centers worldwide.
The bonnet on an external concrete vibrator serves as the protective outer housing that encloses and shields the motor and eccentric weight assembly from the harsh conditions of concrete placement work. It maintains structural alignment of internal components, prevents ingress of moisture and slurry, and helps sustain the consistent vibration output the unit needs to consolidate concrete effectively. When the bonnet is cracked, missing, or poorly fitted, internal components are exposed to contamination and mechanical damage, which can lead to premature motor failure and inconsistent vibration performance.
