The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Clutch 20mm is a genuine OEM component designed for MP12 and VP1550AW-CN series equipment. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same exacting standards as the original unit fitted at the factory, giving you confidence that the will perform exactly as intended. Compatible across multiple MP12 single direction plate configurations as well as the VP1550AW-CN, it covers a wide range of commonly used Wacker Neuson machines in a single part number.
Key Features
- OEM Engagement Precision — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original clutch engagement speed and torque transfer specifications, ensuring smooth, consistent power pickup without slippage or chatter.
- Direct-Fit 20mm Bore — The 20mm shaft bore matches the original interface exactly, allowing straightforward installation onto the crankshaft without machining or shimming.
- Broad MP12 and VP1550AW-CN Coverage — Fits multiple MP12 single direction plate variants and the VP1550AW-CN, making this a practical stocking part for fleets running these models.
- Sustained Drive Train Integrity — A properly functioning centrifugal clutch protects the engine from load shock at startup; a worn clutch leads to overheating, erratic plate movement, and accelerated engine wear.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Quality — Carrying OEM part number 5100061214, this clutch is not a substitute — it is the same component supplied through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts network.
A centrifugal clutch automatically engages drive when the engine reaches a set RPM, disconnecting again when the engine idles down — protecting both the engine and the driven components from unnecessary strain during startup and shutdown. On plate compactors like the MP12 series, this mechanism is critical for smooth exciter engagement and controlled plate operation. When the clutch shoes wear or the spring tension weakens, the clutch can slip under load or fail to disengage at idle, placing excessive stress on the engine and reducing compaction output.
