The Wacker Neuson Cheese Head Screw is a genuine OEM fastener designed for the DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet. As a factory-sourced component, this screw is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional specifications used in original production, ensuring a correct and secure installation without guesswork. Keeping the right hardware in place on a heavy-duty reversible plate is critical — undersized or incorrect fasteners can work loose under sustained vibration, leading to component shifts and unplanned service intervals. Part number is your assurance you're installing the exact screw Wacker Neuson specifies for this application.
Key Features
- Vibration-Grade Material Integrity — Engineered to maintain clamping force and thread engagement under the continuous high-frequency vibration generated by DPU 7060 series plates, where lesser hardware can fatigue and loosen.
- Exact Head Profile for Recessed Installations — The cheese head (cylindrical-head) profile provides the low-clearance, flush-seating fit required in the specific mounting locations on these 70 kN compactors, dropping directly into place without modification.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's parts supply chain, this screw carries the correct part number, grade, and thread specification — no substitution or cross-referencing required.
- Broad DPU 7060 Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across the DPU 7060, DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060RC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet — covering both standard and remote-control variants of this heavy reversible plate family.
- Sustained Operational Integrity — A correctly torqued, correctly spec'd fastener keeps assemblies secure through demanding compaction cycles; a missing or wrong-grade screw can allow housing or guard movement that accelerates wear on surrounding components.
A cheese head screw is a threaded fastener distinguished by its cylindrical, flat-topped head with a relatively large diameter-to-height ratio — a profile designed to maximize bearing surface in tight or recessed bores where a hex-cap or pan-head screw would foul surrounding components. On a reversible vibratory plate compactor like the DPU 7060 series, fasteners like this one are used throughout the machine's exciter housing, guard assemblies, and drive-train covers, where they must hold secure against constant oscillation. When a fastener fails or goes missing in these locations, surrounding panels and components can shift or vibrate free, potentially damaging adjacent parts and creating unsafe operating conditions on the compaction surface.
