The Wacker Neuson Fitting Key is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fitting key meets the exact specifications required for correct assembly and secure component alignment on these heavy-duty diesel-powered reversible plates. It is a direct replacement for the original part and installs without modification to the existing drivetrain or housing. Contractors and service technicians working on DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les machines can order with confidence knowing this is the correct OEM-grade hardware.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact dimensional tolerances, ensuring the key seats flush and transmits torque without slippage or fretting in the shaft bore.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original profile and length for straightforward installation into the existing keyway — no filing, shimming, or custom fitting required.
- Confirmed Fitment: — Verified for DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Drivetrain Integrity: — A correctly fitted key locks rotating components in proper angular alignment; a worn or missing key leads to shaft damage, component slippage, and loss of compaction output.
- OEM Part Number Assurance: — Ordered under Wacker Neuson part number 5000208887, eliminating the guesswork of cross-referencing aftermarket catalogs during a service call.
A fitting key is a small but structurally critical hardware component that sits in the keyway machined between a rotating shaft and a mating hub, pulley, or gear. It locks the two parts together rotationally so that torque is transferred cleanly from the shaft to the driven component — in this case, within the drivetrain of the DPU 100-70 series reversible vibratory plate. When a fitting key shears, deforms, or wears away, the shaft and hub lose their positive drive connection, resulting in slippage, vibration irregularities, and eventual damage to the surrounding bore surfaces. Replacing a damaged key promptly with the correct OEM piece restores full torque transmission and protects the more costly shaft and hub components from further wear.
