The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cap Nut 6Mm designed for a wide range of VP, WP, WPP, WPU, and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, part is manufactured to the exact specifications used in original assembly, ensuring a correct and consistent installation every time. Fitment spans popular models including the VP1550AW, VP1340AW, VP2050A, WP1550A, WP2050A, AP1550AW, AP1550A, WPP1550A, and WPU1550A, among others. If your vibratory plate is in need of a hardware replacement, verifying this part number against your machine's model ensures you receive the right component the first time.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cap nut meets the exact thread pitch, dimensional tolerancing, and material grade used in original plate assembly — no guesswork on fitment or spec.
- 6Mm Thread Size: — Purpose-sized at 6Mm for direct installation into the designated fastener position on the compactor, with no reworking of hardware or mating components needed.
- Broad Vibratory Plate Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment across VP, WP, WPP, WPU, and AP single-direction vibratory plate families, covering a wide range of compaction equipment used in soil, aggregate, asphalt, and paving stone applications.
- Fastener Integrity Under Vibration: — Vibratory plate compactors generate sustained high-frequency vibration during operation; a correctly specified cap nut maintains clamping force and protects the fastener point from loosening or thread damage over time.
- Direct Hardware Replacement: — Replaces the original cap nut on a like-for-like basis, making this a straightforward service part for routine maintenance or damage repair on your compaction equipment.
A cap nut — also known as a dome nut or acorn nut — is a closed-end fastener that threads onto a bolt or stud to secure components while simultaneously covering and protecting the exposed thread end. On vibratory plate compactors, fastener hardware is subjected to constant mechanical vibration, making material grade and thread accuracy critical to maintaining a secure assembly. A missing, damaged, or incorrect cap nut can allow fastener points to work loose, expose threads to debris and corrosion, and ultimately compromise the structural integrity of assembled components on the machine.
