The Wacker Neuson Bearing 16008 is a genuine OEM Bearing 16008 designed for the WPU1550A and WPU1550AW series plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bearing meets the exact tolerancing and load ratings specified for these machines, ensuring consistent rotation and minimal play under operating conditions. It is a direct-fit replacement for both US and standard variants across the WPU1550A and WPU1550AW model lines.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Precision Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact radial clearance and load specifications for the Bearing 16008 application, so rotational accuracy is maintained from installation onward.
- Drop-In Fitment for WPU1550 Series — Engineered to seat directly into the bearing housing on WPU1550A and WPU1550AW compactors without additional machining or shimming.
- Covers All WPU1550A and WPU1550AW Variants — Compatible with WPU1550A-US, WPU1550A, WPU1550AW-US, and WPU1550AW models, including both US-market and standard configurations.
- Protects Against Drivetrain Wear — A worn or failed bearing introduces vibration, increases heat, and accelerates wear on surrounding drivetrain components; replacing it promptly keeps the compactor running at rated output.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authorized OEM component under part number 5100067427, so the part you receive matches the original in material grade, geometry, and load rating.
A bearing in a plate compactor supports the rotating shafts and eccentric mechanisms that generate the compaction force delivered to the ground. When the bearing is in good condition, it allows smooth, low-friction rotation and keeps internal components properly aligned. As a bearing wears, it develops play or roughness that introduces vibration into the drivetrain, reduces compaction efficiency, and — if left unaddressed — can cause progressive damage to adjacent shafts, housings, and seals. Replacing a worn Bearing 16008 with the correct OEM part restores proper alignment and protects the surrounding assembly from secondary wear.
