The Wacker Neuson Unbalance is a genuine OEM component designed for the RC70 and RC70p series single drum soil compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original, ensuring proper vibratory performance across all covered variants — including CAB, ROPS, DPF, and US-spec configurations. Confirmed fitment spans the full RC70 and RC70p model family, covering both standard and DPF-equipped machines.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Mass and Geometry — Manufactured to the original eccentric weight specification, ensuring the correct centrifugal force output and vibration frequency your compactor was engineered to deliver.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting interface and shaft fitment of the RC70 and RC70p vibration system, so installation aligns with the existing assembly without rework.
- Broad RC70 Family Coverage — Fits standard, DPF, CAB, ROPS, and US-spec variants of the RC70 and RC70p, covering the full production range of this single drum soil compactor line.
- Restores Full Compaction Output — A worn or out-of-balance unbalance weight reduces amplitude and compaction force, leading to under-compacted lifts. Replacing it restores rated drum energy and consistent ground density results.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as a genuine OEM component under part number 5100023560, carrying the material and dimensional standards of the original production part.
The unbalance — also called an eccentric weight or vibration weight — is the core component that generates the vibratory force in a compactor's drum. As the weight rotates at speed, the off-center mass creates centrifugal force that drives the drum into the ground in rapid pulses, compacting the soil beneath. When the unbalance wears, fractures, or becomes displaced, amplitude drops and the drum can no longer deliver consistent compaction energy, resulting in soft spots, failed density tests, and the need to re-work finished lifts.
