Wacker Neuson 5000220163 Exciter Complete

The Wacker Neuson Exciter Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4045Yeh, DPU40Yeh, DPU45Yeh, and DPU4045Yehzf series vibratory plates, covering both US and EU market configurations. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this exciter assembly carries the same specifications as the unit installed at the factory, ensuring it integrates cleanly into your machine without guesswork. Compatible across a broad range of DPU models including LRC and standard variants, part number is the correct replacement for worn or failed exciter units in this plate compactor family.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Exciter Assembly — Built to Wacker Neuson's exact eccentric weight and housing specifications, delivering the correct centrifugal force output for effective soil compaction.
• Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original bolt pattern, shaft dimensions, and mounting configuration of the factory exciter unit for a straightforward swap.
• Broad DPU Series Compatibility — Fits DPU40Yeh, DPU45Yeh, DPU4045Yeh, and DPU4045Yehzf models across US, EU, LRC, and standard configurations.
• Consistent Compaction Performance — A properly functioning exciter generates the vibration amplitude needed for full compaction depth; a worn unit produces reduced or uneven force, leaving material under-compacted.
• Sealed and Balanced Construction — The complete assembly includes the eccentric weights and housing, maintaining the dynamic balance required for smooth plate operation and reduced operator vibration transmission.

The exciter is the core vibration-generating assembly in a vibratory plate compactor. It uses rotating eccentric weights housed inside a sealed unit to produce the high-frequency oscillation that drives the base plate into the ground, compacting soil, gravel, or asphalt layer by layer. When the exciter wears out or fails — through bearing degradation, seal failure, or loss of oil — vibration output drops significantly, resulting in poor compaction, increased pass counts, and potential damage to surrounding drivetrain components. Replacing the exciter complete assembly restores the machine to full operating specification and protects the surrounding components from the stress of running an out-of-balance or under-performing unit.
