The Wacker Neuson Fitting Key is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM part sourced from Wacker Neuson, the ensures an exact match to the original component it replaces — no guesswork on fitment or compatibility. This key is a small but critical part of the drive system, and using the correct OEM piece helps maintain proper power transfer and alignment within the compactor's drivetrain.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original tolerances, ensuring correct engagement within the drive assembly — critical for a keyed connection where even minor dimensional variance causes wear or slip.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original keyway profile and dimensions of the DPU 100-70 series, seating directly into the existing slot without modification to the shaft or mating component.
- Verified Fitment: — Confirmed compatible with DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Drivetrain Integrity: — A correctly fitted key locks the rotating component firmly to the shaft; a worn or missing key allows slippage that accelerates damage to both the shaft and the mating hub.
- Genuine OEM Part Number: — Part number 5000208985 is the direct Wacker Neuson OEM reference, so you can cross-check against your parts manual with confidence before ordering.
A fitting key is a small, hardened piece that locks a rotating component — such as a pulley, sprocket, or drum hub — to its drive shaft by sitting in a machined slot called a keyway. It transmits torque between the two parts and prevents relative rotation under load. On a DPU-series reversible vibratory plate, this type of key is essential to maintaining positive drive engagement; if it shears, cracks, or works loose, the connected component will slip or spin freely on the shaft, causing loss of drive and potential damage to surrounding components. Replacing a worn or failed fitting key promptly protects the shaft and hub from the secondary damage that results from running without one.
