Wacker Neuson 5000217112 Cheese Head Screw

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cheese Head Screw designed for the RD7 series walk-behind tandem rollers and the DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 4045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5045H, DPU 5545H, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555H families. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener meets the exact material grade, thread specification, and head geometry called out in the original assembly. With coverage spanning a broad range of RD7 and DPU configurations — including EU, US, and export variants — part number is a direct-fit replacement that slots into the factory position without guesswork. Keeping the correct fastener in place protects the integrity of the assemblies it secures on these high-vibration machines.

Key Features

• OEM-Grade Fastener Material — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and thread specification, ensuring the correct clamp load and resistance to vibration-induced loosening.
• Cheese Head Profile for Confined Spaces — The cylindrical, low-profile cheese head geometry is engineered for locations where a standard hex or pan head won't clear surrounding components.
• Broad RD7 and DPU Series Coverage — Fits a wide range of RD7 tandem roller variants and DPU 4045H through DPU 6555H reversible vibratory plate compactor configurations, including EU, US, and export models.
• Maintains Assembly Integrity Under High Vibration — Compaction equipment subjects fasteners to constant cyclic stress; using the correct OEM screw prevents joint slippage, component shift, and accelerated wear on mating parts.
• Verified Genuine OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic Wacker Neuson replacement, so the part number, dimensions, and material grade match the original production fastener exactly.

A cheese head screw is a machine fastener characterized by its short cylindrical head with a flat top and straight sides, which provides a larger bearing surface than a pan head while keeping a lower profile than a socket cap screw. In high-vibration applications like vibratory plate compactors and tandem rollers, fasteners are constantly subjected to cyclic mechanical stress that can cause undertorqued or incorrect screws to work loose over time, leading to misalignment or damage to the components they hold together. Replacing a worn or missing screw with the correct OEM specification fastener restores the joint to its designed clamping force and prevents secondary damage to the surrounding assembly.
