The Multiquip 951405240 is a genuine OEM Key 7X7X19 designed for MVC and MVHeR series plate compactors, including the MVC60VTHW, MVC60VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVC88VTH, MVHeR60, and MVC40H. As a factory-sourced component, this key meets the same dimensional and material standards as the part originally installed at the factory. If your plate compactor is showing signs of drive slippage, vibration irregularity, or shaft wear, the 951405240 is the correct replacement to restore proper power transfer between the shaft and mating component.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to exact 7x7x19 mm tolerances, ensuring a proper interference fit between the shaft and hub with no play or rocking.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Matches the original keyway geometry on MVC and MVHeR series compactor shafts, sliding directly into the existing slot without machining or adjustment.
- Broad MVC Series Compatibility — Fits MVC60VTHW, MVC60VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVC88VTH, MVHeR60, and MVC40H plate compactors from Multiquip's single-directional plate compactor lineup.
- Positive Power Transmission — Maintains a solid mechanical lock between rotating shaft and driven component, so full compaction force reaches the eccentric weight without slippage or energy loss.
- Compact Critical Component — Small in size but structurally essential; a worn or sheared key allows shaft rotation without engaging the drive, rendering the compactor's vibration system inoperative until replaced.
A shaft key is a small rectangular metal component that seats in a machined slot — called a keyway — cut into both a rotating shaft and the hub of a mating part such as a pulley, sprocket, or eccentric assembly. By interlocking both pieces, the key prevents the hub from spinning freely on the shaft and ensures torque is transferred directly and positively. On a plate compactor like the MVC or MVHeR series, this connection is critical: if the key shears or works loose, the eccentric weight stops being driven by the engine, the plate loses its vibration entirely, and compaction effectiveness drops to zero. Replacing a worn or damaged key promptly with the correct OEM part restores full mechanical engagement and protects the surrounding shaft and hub surfaces from further wear.
