The Wacker Neuson 1000018412 is a genuine OEM Hex Nut M20-8 DIN985 designed for the WL50 Articulated Wheel Loader. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this hex nut meets the DIN985 nylon-insert locking standard, ensuring it is the correct specification for your machine. The 1000018412 is a direct replacement that installs exactly as the original, keeping your WL50 running with properly secured fastening points throughout the drivetrain and structural assemblies.
Key Features
- DIN985 Locking Standard: — The nylon-insert collar locks the nut in place under vibration and dynamic load, preventing loosening during operation on demanding terrain.
- Genuine OEM Specification: — Manufactured to exact M20 threading pitch and hardness grade 8, matching the original fastener spec for the WL50 platform.
- Direct Replacement for WL50: — Confirmed fitment for the WL50 Articulated Wheel Loader (Cab configuration), threading on without rework or adaptation.
- Structural Integrity Assurance: — A correctly rated locking nut at critical joints keeps assemblies torqued to spec; an under-spec or worn fastener risks joint movement and accelerated wear on mating components.
- Verified Part Number: — Order by part number 1000018412 for confidence that you are receiving the correct size, grade, and locking type for your WL50.
A hex nut with a nylon-insert locking collar (DIN985) is used to secure bolted joints that are exposed to ongoing vibration or movement. The nylon ring grips the bolt thread and resists backing off under load, making it the standard choice for structural, drivetrain, and implement attachment points on compact wheel loaders like the WL50. When a locking nut becomes damaged, stripped, or is replaced with an incorrect grade, the joint can lose clamping force over time, which may lead to looseness, misalignment, or component damage at that assembly point.
