The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cheese Head Screw designed for DPU and BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener meets the exact material and dimensional standards of the original hardware installed at the factory. It is confirmed compatible with a wide range of models including the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, DPU 2970, DPU 9070, DPU 100-70, BPU 2950A, MPU 29, and MPU 29A. Keeping the correct OEM hardware in place ensures structural integrity and consistent performance across the compactor's drivetrain and housing assemblies.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Thread and Head Profile — Manufactured to the exact thread pitch, shank diameter, and cylindrical head geometry specified for Wacker Neuson reversible vibratory plate compactors, ensuring proper torque retention and flush seating.
- Direct Hardware Replacement — Installs in the same position as the original screw with no reworking of mounting holes or mating surfaces required.
- Broad DPU and BPU Compatibility — Fits the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, DPU 2970, DPU 9070, DPU 100-70, BPU 2950A, MPU 29, and MPU 29A reversible plate compactor families.
- Structural Fastener Integrity — A correctly specified cheese head screw maintains clamping force across vibration-intensive compaction cycles; an incorrect or worn fastener can back out and compromise housing alignment under load.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Part number 5000038428 is an authorized Wacker Neuson component, ensuring the material grade and dimensional tolerance match what was originally engineered for these machines.
A cheese head screw is a cylindrical-headed machine fastener commonly used to secure internal components, housings, and covers in compaction equipment where a low-profile but high-strength connection is needed. The rounded, drum-shaped head distributes clamping load evenly and resists loosening under continuous vibration — a critical property in a reversible vibratory plate compactor that generates sustained compaction force during operation. When a fastener like this stretches, strips, or goes missing, it can allow mating components to shift or separate, leading to accelerated wear and potential mechanical failure if not addressed promptly.
