Multiquip 951404970 Key 12X8X30 R

The Multiquip 951404970 Key 12X8X30 R is a genuine OEM drive key designed for MVH series reversible plate compactors, including the MVH304GSB, MVH408GH, MVH508GH, MVH308GH, MVH408GV, MVH508GV, MVH408DZ, MVH508DZ, MVH308DE, MVH308DZ, MVH408DE, and MVH508DE. As a direct OEM replacement, 951404970 ensures the correct dimensional fit and material specification for secure shaft-to-hub power transfer in these heavy-duty compactors. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, this part ships as a direct replacement with no guesswork on fitment. Keep a spare on hand to get your MVH compactor back to work with confidence.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to exact 12x8x30mm specifications, ensuring the key seats fully in the keyway without play or stress concentration that could cause shaft damage.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original keyway geometry on MVH series compactor drive shafts for straightforward installation without filing or fitting.
• Broad MVH Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across MVH304GSB, MVH408GH, MVH508GH, MVH308GH, MVH408GV, MVH508GV, MVH408DZ, MVH508DZ, MVH308DE, MVH308DZ, MVH408DE, and MVH508DE models.
• Positive Power Transfer — A correctly seated drive key locks the rotating component to the shaft, maintaining full compaction force output and preventing slippage under heavy vibration loads.
• Compact Critical Spare — Drive keys are a high-wear, low-cost item; stocking 951404970 avoids extended downtime when a key shears during demanding compaction work.

A drive key is a small but load-bearing component that locks a rotating part — such as a pulley, gear, or exciter drum hub — to its shaft, ensuring both turn together and full power is transmitted through the drivetrain. In a reversible plate compactor like the MVH series, where vibration forces and directional changes place repeated stress on shaft connections, a worn or sheared key causes the driven component to slip or spin freely on the shaft, immediately robbing the machine of compaction force and potentially damaging the shaft keyway. Replacing a damaged key promptly with the correct OEM-spec part protects the surrounding components and restores the machine to full operating performance.
