The Wacker Neuson Centrifugal Clutch is a genuine OEM centrifugal clutch designed for the WPU1550A, WPU1550AW, BPS1550, BPS2050, and ZEN-L series machines. As a direct OEM part sourced through Wacker Neuson, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original component, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. This centrifugal clutch is confirmed to fit an extensive range of models across the WPU, BPS, and ZEN-L families, covering both US and CE-certified configurations.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Engagement Spec — Engineered to the exact RPM engagement threshold of the original, ensuring smooth, consistent power transfer from the engine to the drive assembly.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Designed to install in place of the original unit with correct shaft fitment and drum sizing for the WPU1550A, WPU1550AW, BPS1550, BPS2050, and ZEN-L series.
- Broad Model Coverage — A single part number covers multiple machine families: WPU1550A and WPU1550AW reversible plate compactors, BPS1550 and BPS2050 jumping jacks, and ZEN-L 12, 15, and 20 series units.
- Protects the Drive Train — A worn or slipping centrifugal clutch causes erratic compaction performance and excessive engine load; a fresh OEM unit restores full, controlled power delivery.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as a genuine OEM component, backed by Wacker Neuson's parts program for confidence in fitment accuracy and part longevity.
A centrifugal clutch automatically engages the drivetrain once the engine reaches a set operating speed, allowing the motor to start under no load before power is transferred to the compaction mechanism. On plate compactors and jumping jacks, this controlled engagement protects the engine from shock loading at startup and allows the operator to manage machine movement safely. When the clutch wears, slips, or seizes, the machine may fail to compact effectively, the engine may bog under load, or the drive may engage unpredictably — making timely replacement essential for safe and productive operation.
