The Wacker Neuson Crankshaft is a genuine OEM Crankshaft designed for the DPU5545Heh US plate compactor. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the same part installed at the factory — ensuring correct dimensions, material grade, and fit without guesswork. If you're running a DPU5545Heh US and need a dependable crankshaft replacement, this is the part your machine was built around.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Metallurgy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and hardness specifications, delivering the structural integrity a crankshaft must maintain under continuous high-cycle loading.
- Drop-In Installation — Machined to the exact journal dimensions and bearing tolerances of the original, so it seats correctly with your existing components without reworking mating surfaces.
- Confirmed Fitment for DPU5545Heh US — Verified against Wacker Neuson parts documentation for the DPU5545Heh US plate compactor, so you can order with confidence.
- Sustained Engine Output — A correctly fitted crankshaft converts piston force into consistent rotational power; a worn or damaged crank causes vibration, power loss, and rapid bearing failure throughout the engine.
- Genuine OEM Part — Part number 5100068983 is an authorized Wacker Neuson component, not an approximation — critical for a precision-machined rotating assembly where dimensional accuracy directly affects engine longevity.
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of the engine, converting the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational force that drives the machine. It must maintain precise balance and surface hardness across thousands of cycles per minute, making material quality and dimensional accuracy non-negotiable. When a crankshaft wears or cracks, the engine develops knocking, loses compression, and will ultimately seize — making prompt replacement with a correctly specified part essential to getting the compactor back to full working capacity.
