The Wacker Neuson Balance Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the GS6503G and GS6500G screed models. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the exact specifications required by these machines, ensuring correct mass, geometry, and mounting compatibility right out of the box. This is the same balance weight supplied during original production, making it the most dependable choice when restoring your screed to proper operating condition. Verify your model number against the fitment list before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Key Features
- Factory-Matched Mass and Geometry — Manufactured to the precise weight and dimensional spec required by the GS6503G and GS6500G, so counterbalance performance is never compromised.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same part number used in original production, eliminating guesswork on specification.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Mounts to the existing balance assembly using the original hardware positions, with no rework or adaptation to the mounting points.
- Confirmed Fitment for GS Series Screeds — Verified compatible with the GS6503G CE and GS6500G LA screed variants.
- Restores Proper Vibration Dynamics — A worn or missing balance weight causes uneven vibration distribution across the screed surface, leading to inconsistent compaction and finish quality; this part brings the system back into correct dynamic balance.
A balance weight is a precisely sized counterweight used to regulate and smooth the vibrational output of a screed unit. It works in conjunction with the eccentric shaft assembly to produce controlled, even vibration across the screed plate — which is what drives proper concrete or asphalt compaction. When a balance weight is damaged, worn, or missing, the screed will produce erratic or uneven vibration, resulting in poor surface finish and inconsistent material consolidation. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the intended vibration pattern and keeps the screed performing as designed.
