The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Clutch Screw designed for the WP1540 and WP1550 series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the exact material and dimensional standards of the original part it replaces. This screw is confirmed to fit across the full WP1540 and WP1550 model range, including AW, A, V, R, and W variants, with and without wheel kits. Verifying your model number against the fitment list before ordering ensures a direct, hassle-free installation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Integrity — Manufactured to the same torque retention and thread specification as the original clutch hardware, so the clutch assembly seats and holds correctly under vibratory load.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Engineered to thread into the existing clutch housing without rework, retaining the original clutch alignment and engagement geometry.
- Broad WP Series Compatibility — Fits the WP1540 and WP1550 model families across AW, A, VW, V, RW, R, and W configurations, including wheel-kit variants.
- Clutch Performance Preserved — A correctly fastened clutch screw keeps the centrifugal clutch engaged at the right RPM threshold, maintaining proper plate start-up and consistent compaction force delivery.
- Sourced from Wacker Neuson — Supplied as a genuine Wacker Neuson OEM part, carrying the same part number used by authorized service dealers and factory repair depots.
The clutch screw is a critical fastener within the centrifugal clutch assembly of a vibratory plate compactor. It secures the clutch components together so that engine power is transmitted to the exciter unit at the correct RPM, allowing the plate to remain stationary at idle and engage smoothly under load. When this screw loosens, strips, or fails, the clutch assembly can shift out of alignment, causing erratic engagement, excessive vibration at idle, or a complete loss of drive to the compaction plate — all of which interrupt the compaction cycle and can accelerate wear on surrounding clutch components.
