The Wacker Neuson Key A5 X 5 X 30 Form A is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP-series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP1030, VP1135, VP1340, VP1550, and VP2050 families. As a direct OEM replacement, is manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact dimensional and material specifications, ensuring the keyed connection performs exactly as the machine was engineered to deliver. Fitment also extends to select AP-series battery-powered vibratory plates, BFS floor saws, and DPU/DPS reversible vibratory plates, making this a widely used drive-train component across the Wacker Neuson compaction and cutting lineup.

Key Features

  • Exact OEM Dimensional Spec — Manufactured to the precise A5 x 5 x 30 Form A profile, ensuring the key seats fully and transfers torque without slop or fretting wear.
  • Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, 5000013838 carries the same material grade and hardness as the original key installed at the factory.
  • Broad VP-Series Compatibility — Fits VP1030, VP1135, VP1340, VP1550, and VP2050 vibratory plates across R, A, W, RW, and AW variants, as well as select AP-series plates and BFS floor saws.
  • Positive Drive Connection — A correctly fitted key locks the shaft and hub together to transmit full rotational force; a worn or missing key causes slippage, vibration loss, and accelerated bearing damage.
  • Drop-In Installation — The Form A profile slides into the standard keyway without machining or modification, making field replacement straightforward for any experienced technician.

A woodruff or parallel drive key like the 5000013838 Key A5 X 5 X 30 Form A is a small but critical component that locks a rotating shaft to a hub, pulley, or sprocket so that torque is transmitted through the keyed joint rather than relying on friction or fasteners alone. In a vibratory plate compactor, it is typically found in the exciter or drive assembly, where it keeps the eccentric weight shaft or belt-drive pulley positively engaged. When the key shears, wears, or works loose, the drive connection is lost — the engine may continue running but compaction force drops sharply, and the resulting metal-on-metal contact can quickly damage the shaft or bore, turning a low-cost repair into a major overhaul.
