The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Centrifugal Clutch 90mm designed for DS70 and DS720 diesel vibratory rammers. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts program, part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. This clutch is confirmed compatible across multiple DS70 and DS720 configurations, including 11-inch and 13-inch shoe variants in both standard and EPA-compliant versions. If your rammer is slipping, failing to engage, or losing power transfer to the foot, this is the correct replacement part to restore full operation.
Key Features
- OEM Engagement Specification: — Engineered to the correct 90mm engagement diameter, ensuring consistent clutch lockup at the proper engine RPM for this diesel rammer platform.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting interface and shoe-drive connection on DS70 and DS720 rammers, allowing straightforward removal and reinstallation without modification.
- Broad DS70 and DS720 Fitment: — Compatible with 11-inch and 13-inch plastic shoe configurations, standard and EPA-rated models, and multiple machine numbers across the DS70 and DS720 series including the DS70Y.
- Restores Full Power Transfer: — A worn or slipping centrifugal clutch causes the rammer foot to lose impact energy, reducing compaction effectiveness in trenching and cohesive soil applications. Installing a correctly sized OEM clutch returns the machine to rated performance.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Supplied as an authorized Wacker Neuson component, so material grade, flyweight calibration, and drum geometry match the original design rather than an approximated aftermarket profile.
The centrifugal clutch connects the engine to the rammer's drive mechanism by engaging automatically as engine speed rises above idle. Weighted flyweights inside the clutch drum expand outward under centrifugal force and lock against the drum, transferring rotational power to the exciter that drives the rammer foot's up-and-down compaction stroke. When the clutch wears, the flyweights lose grip or engage inconsistently, causing the foot to slip, stall under load, or fail to deliver the full impact energy needed for effective trench and soil compaction. Replacing a faulty clutch with a correctly rated 90mm unit restores the crisp, repeatable engagement the DS70 and DS720 rammers depend on.
