The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cheese Head Screw designed for the VP1340A, VP1550A, and VP2050A series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the exact material and dimensional specifications set by Wacker Neuson for these machines. This screw is a direct-fit replacement, covering multiple VP-series variants including US, Aw, and standard configurations. If you're servicing a VP1340A, VP1550A, or VP2050A plate compactor, part number is the correct OEM fastener for the job.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact thread form, head geometry, and material hardness spec, ensuring correct clamping load when torqued to specification.
- Drop-In Replacement — Installs directly in place of the original screw with no reworking of mounting holes or mating hardware required.
- Broad VP-Series Coverage — Fits VP1340A, VP1340Aw, VP1550A, VP1550Aw, VP2050A, and VP2050Aw variants, including US-market and standard configurations.
- Maintains Structural Integrity Under Vibration — Vibratory plate compactors subject fasteners to continuous cyclic loading; an incorrectly spec'd screw can back out or shear, causing component loosening during operation.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, so you get the same fastener that left the factory — not an approximation.
A cheese head screw is a cylindrical-head fastener commonly used in machinery assemblies where a low-profile, recessed-drive fixing is needed in tight or precision-fit spaces. On vibratory plate compactors like the VP-series, fasteners like the 5100029786 are used to secure components that must remain firmly fixed despite the constant vibration the machine generates during compaction work. When a fastener of this type wears, strips, or goes missing, the assembly it holds can shift or work loose — leading to accelerated wear on surrounding components and potential operational issues. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the original clamping specification and keeps the assembly seated as designed.
