Description
Overview:
This clutch is a genuine Wacker Neuson part designed for the WP2050A and WP2050Aw plate compactors. It is a centrifugal drive clutch that transfers engine power smoothly to the exciter via the drive belt, helping the machine start cleanly and compact consistently. Built from durable metal components with hard-wearing friction surfaces, it is engineered for the stop-start demands of site and hire use. Using the correct clutch protects the engine and transmission from shock loads, reduces belt slip, and maintains predictable compaction performance. Supplied to the original equipment specification under OEM reference 5000400350, it is a straightforward direct replacement that restores factory operation on compatible Wacker Neuson plate compactors. This is a Genuine Part for assured compatibility and service life.

- Centrifugal design engages at operating speed for smooth take-up and reduced shock
- Robust metal construction with heat-resistant friction surfaces for longevity
- Maintains consistent power transmission to the exciter for even compaction
- Helps reduce belt slip, glazing, and premature wear when fitted correctly
- Direct replacement; typically installs with standard hand tools to minimise downtime

Typical Applications:
Ideal when a compactor hesitates, slips under load, drags at idle, or fails to reach full compaction. Commonly used after routine service intervals, belt changes, or when the original clutch shows overheating or wear. Suitable for compacting sub-bases, paving preparation, trench backfill, and path or driveway work on building and landscaping projects.
