The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cheese Head Screw designed for WP and VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, it is manufactured to the exact material grade, thread specification, and dimensional tolerances required by the original assembly. This screw is confirmed to fit a wide range of models across the WP1540A, WP1550A, VP1340A, VP1550A, and VP2050A families, including US and worldwide variants. Keeping the correct hardware in place ensures structural integrity and consistent performance across every compaction cycle.
Key Features
- Exact Thread and Head Geometry — Manufactured to OEM specification, this cheese head profile seats flush and torques correctly in the original mounting location without requiring modification to the surrounding assembly.
- Genuine OEM Hardware Grade — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this screw meets the tensile strength and corrosion-resistance requirements demanded by vibratory plate compactor operating conditions — including sustained vibration loads and outdoor exposure.
- Wide Model Coverage — Fits WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, WP1550Aw, WP1550e, WP1550we, VP1340A, VP1340Aw, VP1550A, VP1550Aw, VP2050A, and VP2050Aw variants, covering both US and international configurations.
- Vibration-Resistant Fastening — Correct hardware torque and head engagement are critical on vibratory plates; using a matched OEM screw prevents loosening, misalignment, and accelerated wear on surrounding components.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Part number 5100042618 cross-references directly to the original bill of materials for these WP and VP series machines, so you can order with confidence that this is the right part.
A cheese head screw is a cylindrical-head fastener used to secure components within the machine's assembly — commonly found anchoring guards, housings, or structural panels that must remain firmly fixed during operation. On vibratory plate compactors, fasteners are subjected to continuous oscillation and impact forces that can cause incorrect or worn hardware to loosen over time, leading to component shift, increased wear on mating surfaces, or structural failure of the joint. Using the correct OEM-specified screw ensures the clamping load and head engagement are matched to the original design, maintaining assembly integrity across the full service life of the machine.
