The Wacker Neuson Gear is a genuine OEM component designed for the WPU1550A and WPU1550AW series plate compactors. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct, consistent installation without adaptation. Fitment covers both the WPU1550A and WPU1550AW series, including US-spec variants, making this the straightforward choice when sourcing a like-for-like replacement. Keep your compactor running at full capacity by replacing a worn or damaged gear with the correct OEM part.
Key Features
- OEM Gear Geometry: — Tooth profile and dimensions match the original exactly, ensuring smooth power transfer and correct mesh with mating drivetrain components.
- Direct Drivetrain Replacement: — Installs into the existing gear housing using the original mounting configuration, with no re-machining or adaptation needed.
- Confirmed Fitment: — Verified for WPU1550A and WPU1550AW series plate compactors, including WPU1550A-US and WPU1550AW-US variants.
- Sustained Drive Performance: — A correctly functioning gear maintains consistent eccentric shaft rotation, which is essential for delivering rated compaction force. A worn gear causes vibration irregularities and reduced compaction output.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part: — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson OEM supply chain, so material grade and heat treatment are consistent with the original production part.
The gear in a plate compactor's drivetrain transfers rotational power from the engine to the eccentric shaft assembly, which generates the vibration force that compacts soil, gravel, and asphalt. When this gear wears or chips, the drive becomes inconsistent — resulting in uneven vibration output, increased mechanical noise, and accelerated wear on surrounding drivetrain components. Replacing a damaged gear promptly restores proper power transmission and protects the integrity of the compactor's eccentric mechanism.
