Wacker Neuson 5100068649 Clutch (DPU)

The Wacker Neuson Clutch (DPU) is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU5247, DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU6260, and DPU6275 series vibration plates. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same exacting standards as the original clutch fitted at the factory. Compatibility spans a wide range of DPU models including the DPU5260Heh, DPU6275He, DPU6260Heh, DPU5275Heh, and numerous variant configurations, making it a go-to replacement across the DPU heavy-duty plate compactor lineup. When your compactor's clutch shows signs of wear or slippage, replacing it with the correct OEM part restores full drive engagement and keeps your compactor performing at spec.

Key Features

• OEM Clutch Engagement Spec: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original torque-transfer tolerances, ensuring smooth, consistent engagement from the engine to the exciter unit — no guesswork on slip characteristics or engagement force.
• Direct-Swap Installation: — Designed as a bolt-in replacement for the original clutch position on DPU series plates; mounting dimensions and interface points match the original assembly exactly.
• Broad DPU Series Coverage: — Fits DPU5247, DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU6260, and DPU6275 model families across standard, Heh, He, Hehcb+, Hehcpb+, and other variant configurations.
• Restored Drive Performance: — A worn or failed clutch causes the exciter shaft to lose drive, eliminating compaction force. This replacement restores full vibratory output so your plate compacts to the depth and density the job demands.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson Part: — Carrying part number 5100068649, this is an authentic OEM component — not a generic substitute — so you can trust material grade and clutch plate composition are correct for the application.

The clutch on a DPU series vibration plate is the mechanical link between the Honda or Hatz engine and the exciter unit that generates the plate's compaction force. When the engine reaches operating speed, the centrifugal clutch engages automatically, transferring rotational energy to the eccentric weights inside the exciter housing — producing the vibration that drives soil, gravel, or asphalt to its target density. As the clutch lining wears, engagement becomes inconsistent or fails entirely, causing the plate to lose vibratory force, overheat, or stall under load. Replacing the clutch with the correct OEM part restores crisp, reliable engagement and protects the exciter unit from the strain of a slipping or dragging drive connection.
