The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cheese Head Screw designed for WP and VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the WP1540A, WP1550A, WP1540Aw, WP1550Aw, VP1135A, VP1135Aw, VP1340A, VP1340Aw, VP1550A, VP1550Aw, VP2050A, and VP2050Aw. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener matches the original specification installed at the factory and ensures a correct, secure fit without the need for sizing adjustments. With broad coverage across multiple WP and VP model variants — including US-market and rental-fleet configurations — part number is the verified replacement for a wide range of machines in this plate compactor family.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Spec: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original thread pitch, head geometry, and material grade, so clamping force and torque values stay within design limits.
- Drop-In Hardware Replacement: — Matches the original hole pattern and drive type of the WP and VP series plate compactors for straightforward installation without re-tapping or modification.
- Broad WP and VP Series Coverage: — Verified fitment across WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, WP1550Aw, VP1135A, VP1135Aw, VP1340A, VP1340Aw, VP1550A, VP1550Aw, VP2050A, and VP2050Aw — including US-market and rental-spec variants.
- Structural Integrity at the Joint: — A correctly torqued cheese head screw maintains the clamping load between assembled components; a stripped, corroded, or missing fastener can lead to loosening, vibration-induced wear, or component separation during operation.
- OEM Part Number Confidence: — Part number 5100036848 is the Wacker Neuson-assigned reference for this fastener, eliminating guesswork when cross-referencing parts diagrams or service manuals.
A cheese head screw is a cylindrical-head machine screw with a flat top and straight sides, designed to provide a large bearing surface and resist loosening under repeated vibration loads. On vibratory plate compactors like the WP and VP series, fasteners at this grade are critical because the entire machine operates under continuous high-frequency vibration — conditions that quickly expose any fastener that is the wrong size, wrong grade, or improperly seated. Replacing a worn or damaged screw with the correct OEM part restores the clamping integrity of the joint and prevents progressive loosening that could allow assembled components to shift or separate during compaction work.
