The Wacker Neuson Camshaft is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU6555Heh US and DPU6555Hech US plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the same camshaft installed at the factory — built to the exact tolerances required for proper valve timing and engine operation. Verified fitment against both the DPU6555Heh US and DPU6555Hech US model configurations means you can order with confidence using part number.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Timing Accuracy — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to exact lobe profile and journal tolerances, ensuring precise intake and exhaust timing that a worn or reground camshaft cannot reliably deliver.
- Drop-In Engine Installation — Matches all factory mounting positions, journal diameters, and drive gear alignment for a direct swap into the engine block with no alteration to surrounding components.
- Confirmed Fitment for DPU6555 Series — Verified for the DPU6555Heh US and DPU6555Hech US plate compactors; cross-reference part number 5100062310 against your model before ordering.
- Sustained Engine Power Output — A correctly profiled camshaft maintains full valve lift and proper timing, preserving the engine's power and fuel efficiency across demanding compaction cycles.
- Protects Valvetrain Components — Proper lobe geometry and surface hardness prevent accelerated wear on followers, pushrods, and rocker arms — a failing camshaft can cause rapid valvetrain damage throughout the engine.
The camshaft is a core engine component responsible for controlling the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in sync with the piston's movement. It does this through a series of precisely shaped lobes that push against the valve train as the shaft rotates, driven by the crankshaft. When a camshaft wears down or develops flat spots on its lobes, valve timing becomes erratic, leading to loss of power, rough running, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, internal engine damage.
