The Wacker Neuson 5100022873 is a genuine OEM Locking Screw designed for the RC50 and RC70 series single drum soil compactors, including standard, padfoot, DPF ROPS, DPF CAB, VO, and US-spec configurations. As a factory-sourced component, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original hardware installed at the plant, ensuring a direct fit with no guesswork on installation. Fitment covers the full RC50 and RC70 family, including RC50, RC50p, RC50p US, RC70, RC70p, RC70VO, RC70vo, and RC70p US variants. Verifying your machine's model number before ordering is always recommended to confirm compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread and Torque Integrity — Manufactured to the original thread pitch, grade, and dimensional spec, so the fastener seats and torques correctly without risk of stripping or improper clamp load.
- Direct Hardware Replacement — Drops into the same position as the original locking screw with no reworking of the mating hardware or surrounding components.
- Broad RC-Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across the RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, RC70VO, and RC70vo families, including DPF ROPS, DPF CAB, and US-spec variants.
- Maintains Structural Security — A correctly installed locking screw prevents unintended loosening under the vibration loads generated during compaction cycles, protecting the integrity of the assembly it secures.
- Factory-Sourced Part Number 5100022873 — Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's OEM supply chain, so the part number on the bag matches what the service manual calls for.
A locking screw is a threaded fastener engineered to resist loosening under dynamic loads — in this case, the continuous vibration and shock forces produced during large-area soil compaction operations. Unlike standard fasteners, locking screws incorporate design features such as locking threads or interference fits that prevent the screw from backing out during machine operation. When a locking screw wears, strips, or goes missing, the assembly it anchors can shift or come loose, leading to accelerated wear on surrounding components and potential mechanical failure. Replacing it with the correct OEM-spec part restores the original retention performance the machine was built around.
