The Wacker Neuson Set Screw M6 X 30 Soc is a genuine OEM fastener designed for DPU and DPS series vibratory plate compactors. This includes the DPU 2440H reversible vibratory plate, the DPU 2450H, and the DPS 1850H single-direction vibratory plate in both standard and asphalt configurations. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part meets the exact specifications of the original hardware used in production. Matching the correct fastener to your machine ensures secure assembly and keeps your compactor performing as intended on every pass.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Grade — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact M6 x 30 socket-head specification, ensuring the correct torque engagement and thread profile for critical assembly points on vibratory plate compactors.
- Direct Hardware Match — Replaces the original set screw on a like-for-like basis; the socket-drive head seats properly with standard hex tooling, requiring no re-tapping or modification to the receiving bore.
- Broad DPU and DPS Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across the DPU 2440H, DPU 2450H, and DPS 1850H, covering both reversible and single-direction plate compactors including the DPS 1850H Asphalt variant.
- Structural Integrity Under Vibration — Vibratory plate compactors generate continuous high-frequency vibration; a correctly specified set screw maintains clamping force under these dynamic loads where an incorrect fastener can back out or shear.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5000046329 eliminates the guesswork of cross-referencing aftermarket alternatives, giving you confidence that the fastener matches the original assembly drawing.
A set screw is a headless or socket-head fastener used to secure one component against another — typically locking a shaft, hub, or plate in a fixed position by bearing directly against the mating surface. On vibratory plate compactors, set screws are used at critical attachment points where components must resist both rotational and axial movement generated by the exciter mechanism. When a set screw loosens, backs out, or fails, the secured component can shift under load, leading to accelerated wear, misalignment, or structural damage that goes well beyond the cost of the fastener itself. Replacing a worn or missing set screw promptly with the correct OEM-specified part is one of the simplest ways to protect the surrounding assembly.
