Description
Overview:
This V belt is a drive component for Wacker Neuson plate compactors. It transfers power from the engine to the exciter, allowing the machine to compact efficiently under load. Made from durable rubber with cord reinforcement, it is built to handle vibration, shock loading, and grit found on site and in hire use. The belt has a circumference of 711 mm (28 in) and is an A-section size (A-28), matching the pulley profiles used on these compactors. Sized for popular models such as the WP1030 and WP1235, it helps restore reliable performance when a belt is worn, slipping, or broken. Correct belt sizing and profile are essential to minimise slippage, heat build-up, and premature wear of both the belt and pulleys.
Key Features:
- A-section belt (A-28) with 711 mm (28 in) circumference for the specified models
- Robust rubber with fabric cord reinforcement for torque transmission and long service life
- Consistent A-profile for proper fit on standard pulleys and reduced slippage
- Stable performance under vibration and shock typical of plate compaction work
- Helps maintain correct exciter speed for even compaction and smooth operation
- Resistant to dust, grit, and moisture encountered in construction and landscaping environments
- Straightforward to fit and tension during routine maintenance with common workshop tools
- Suitable as a preventative maintenance replacement to reduce downtime
Typical Applications:
Replacement drive belt during scheduled servicing or repair of plate compactors used for sub-base preparation, block paving, asphalt patching, trench backfill, and landscaping. Suitable for trade users, hire fleets, and DIY owners maintaining Wacker Neuson compactors for reliable on-site performance.
