The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Screw M8 x 80 Socket Head designed for WP1540A, WP1550, and DPU series vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this hardware component is produced to the exact material grade, thread pitch, and dimensional tolerances specified for these machines. Fitment covers a broad range of single-direction and reversible vibratory plates including the WP1540AW, WP1550AW, WP1550V, WP1550R, DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2450F, DPU 7060, DPU 7060RC, and DPU 100-70. Ordering by part number ensures you receive the correct fastener the first time.
Key Features
- Correct Thread Specification — M8 x 80mm socket head profile matches the OEM-specified thread form and shank length for secure, torque-accurate installation.
- Genuine OEM Hardware — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener meets the same material grade and hardness requirements as the original production unit — critical for joints subject to vibration loading.
- Broad Vibratory Plate Compatibility — Fits WP1540A, WP1550 (A/V/R variants), DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2450F, DPU 7060, DPU 7060RC, and DPU 100-70 compactors.
- Vibration-Resistant Retention — Socket head drive geometry delivers higher torque engagement than standard hex heads, maintaining clamp load under the continuous vibration cycles that vibratory plate compactors generate.
- Direct Serviceability — Socket head configuration allows access in confined or recessed bolt locations common on compaction equipment frames and exciter housings.
A socket head cap screw like the Wacker Neuson 5000012379 serves as a structural fastener that clamps and secures critical assemblies — such as exciter housings, base plate components, and guard panels — on vibratory plate compactors. Because these machines operate under sustained vibration, fasteners are exposed to constant cyclical stress that can cause inferior or incorrect hardware to loosen, stretch, or fail. Using the correctly specified OEM fastener maintains the clamping integrity of the joint, preventing component movement that would otherwise lead to accelerated wear or structural damage to the assembly it secures.
