The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cheese Head Screw designed for the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener matches the exact material grade, thread specification, and head geometry of the original hardware installed at the factory. It is a direct replacement for worn, stripped, or missing hardware across all listed DPU models, installing without modification. Keeping the correct fastener in place ensures structural integrity is maintained throughout the compactor's working life.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hardware Grade — Manufactured to the exact thread pitch, tensile strength, and head profile specified for this application — critical for fasteners subject to vibration loads in compaction equipment.
- Drop-In Installation — Matches the original cheese head profile and thread form exactly, so it seats and torques correctly without chasing threads or sourcing substitute hardware.
- Broad DPU Series Compatibility — Confirmed fit for DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 reversible vibratory plate compactors across multiple machine configurations.
- Vibration-Resistant Fastening — A correctly spec'd screw resists loosening under continuous compaction vibration; an incorrect or worn fastener can back out and compromise the assembly it secures.
- Correct Part for Maintained Machine Integrity — Using the OEM-specified fastener ensures torque values and clamping force stay within design limits, protecting surrounding components from premature wear or damage.
A cheese head screw is a cylindrical-headed fastener commonly used in mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, high-strength connection is needed in a confined or recessed space. In a reversible vibratory plate compactor like the DPU series, fasteners of this type are used to secure components that are exposed to sustained, high-frequency vibration during operation. When a fastener of this type becomes stripped, corroded, or lost, the assembly it holds can shift or loosen, leading to accelerated wear on adjacent parts or failure of the secured component. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part — part number 5000049702 — restores the connection to its original specification.
