The Wacker Neuson Key is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of BPU reversible vibratory plate compactors, WP single-direction vibratory plate compactors, and PT4A series trash pumps. As a direct factory replacement, part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct fit within the drivetrain or shaft assembly it secures. Compatible models include the BPU 2540A, BPU 3050A, BPU 3750Ats, BPU 4045A, BPU 5545A, BPU 5260Ah, BPU 6275Ah, WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, WP1550Aw, and the PT4A trash pump series. Sourcing the correct key for your machine keeps shaft and hub components properly indexed and prevents premature wear to surrounding parts.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original hardness and dimensional tolerances, ensuring the key seats correctly under load without deforming or shifting.
- Drop-In Shaft Replacement — Machined to match the original keyway geometry on BPU, WP, and PT4A driveshafts, so the part installs without recutting or modification to the keyway.
- Broad Model Coverage — A single part number covers BPU 2540A through BPU 6275Ah reversible plates, WP1540A/WP1550A vibratory plates, and PT4A trash pumps, simplifying parts stocking across your fleet.
- Prevents Shaft and Hub Damage — A worn or missing key allows the hub to spin on the shaft, rapidly damaging both mating surfaces. Replacing this part promptly protects the more costly components around it.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Part number 5000217462 is the factory-assigned reference, so you can cross-check it against your machine's parts manual for complete confidence before installation.
A key is a small, precisely dimensioned metal component that sits in matching slots — called keyways — cut into both a shaft and a hub or pulley. It locks the two together so they rotate as one unit, transmitting torque without slipping. When a key shears or wears, the hub begins to rotate independently of the shaft, causing loss of drive, vibration irregularities, and accelerating damage to the keyway itself. Replacing a failed key promptly with the correct OEM part restores proper torque transmission and protects the surrounding shaft and hub from costly secondary damage.
