The Wacker Neuson Reversible Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for the WPU1550A, WPU1550Aw, WPU1550A-US, and WPU1550AW-US series reversible plate compactors. As a direct OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact specifications required by Wacker Neuson, ensuring proper fit and correct operation within the drivetrain assembly. This shaft is confirmed to fit across all known WPU1550A variants, including the WPU 1550A-L and WPU1550AW configurations. When you need a dependable, like-for-like replacement, sourcing a genuine Wacker Neuson part removes the guesswork from the repair.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Shaft Geometry — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact dimensional tolerances, ensuring correct engagement with mating drivetrain components in the WPU1550A series.
- Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to install directly into the existing shaft housing using the original mounting points, with no re-engineering of surrounding components.
- Broad WPU1550A Series Coverage — Fits WPU1550A, WPU1550Aw, WPU1550A-L, WPU1550A-US, WPU1550AW-US, and WPU1550AW variants in a single part number.
- Sustained Forward and Reverse Performance — A correctly functioning reversible shaft maintains smooth directional control; a worn or damaged shaft causes erratic plate movement and loss of compaction efficiency.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, carrying the same part number — 5000400870 — used by authorized service centers worldwide.
The reversible shaft is a core drivetrain component in a reversible plate compactor, transmitting rotational force from the engine and exciter unit to drive the plate in both forward and reverse directions. It works in conjunction with the directional control mechanism to allow the operator to steer and reposition the machine during compaction passes. When this shaft wears, bends, or fails, the machine loses the ability to change direction reliably — reducing compaction quality and putting additional stress on connected components.
