The Wacker Neuson Eccentric Weight is a genuine OEM component designed for the AR 52/6 and AR 53/6 series reversible plate compactors, including the AR 53/3/400, AR 52/6/042, AR 53/6/042, AR 52/6/250, and AR 53/6/250 models. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact mass, geometry, and balance specifications required for proper vibratory output. This means it drops in as a like-for-like replacement without the guesswork of fitment adjustments. If your compactor is producing uneven vibration, reduced compaction force, or abnormal noise from the exciter housing, a worn or damaged eccentric weight is a common root cause.
Key Features
- Exact Mass and Balance Specification — Manufactured to OEM tolerances, ensuring the correct centrifugal force and vibratory frequency are maintained for consistent compaction output.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting interface and shaft geometry of the exciter housing, allowing straightforward installation in compatible AR series compactors.
- Broad AR Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across the AR 53/3, AR 52/6, and AR 53/6 model families, covering a range of reversible plate compactor configurations.
- Restores Full Compaction Performance — A correctly weighted and balanced eccentric restores rated amplitude and frequency, allowing the machine to achieve proper soil and asphalt compaction depth.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts chain under part number 5100002827, so you receive the same component that left the factory originally.
The eccentric weight is a core element of a plate compactor's exciter assembly. As the weight rotates on the exciter shaft, its offset mass generates centrifugal force, which is what creates the high-frequency vibration that drives compaction of soil, gravel, and asphalt. When the eccentric weight wears, cracks, or loses mass, the machine produces weaker or uneven vibration — resulting in poor compaction depth, increased pass counts, and added stress on the exciter bearings. Replacing a worn eccentric weight promptly restores the machine to its rated compaction capacity and protects the surrounding exciter components from secondary damage.
