Wacker Neuson 5100034546 Cheese Head Screw M16x 40

The Wacker Neuson Cheese Head Screw M16x 40 is a genuine OEM fastener designed for WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, and WP1550Aw series vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM part sourced from Wacker Neuson, is manufactured to the exact material grade, thread specification, and dimensional tolerances required for its application. This screw is confirmed to fit multiple WP-series plate configurations, including US and CN variants, ensuring you receive the correct hardware for your specific machine. Keep a spare on hand to avoid unnecessary downtime during routine service or repairs.

Key Features

• Correct Thread Engagement: — M16x 40 specification ensures full thread engagement and proper torque retention in the fastener bore — no guesswork on sizing.
• Genuine OEM Material Grade: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's specified tensile and shear strength requirements for this fastener position, so the joint holds under compaction loads and vibration.
• Direct OEM Replacement: — Drops into the same mounting position as the original, matching head geometry and drive type for straightforward installation with standard tooling.
• Broad WP-Series Compatibility: — Fits WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, and WP1550Aw plate compactors, including US and CN variants, covering a wide range of job-site equipment configurations.
• Vibration-Resistant Fastening: — A correctly specified cheese head screw maintains clamping force under the continuous vibration inherent to plate compactor operation, preventing joint loosening and structural movement.

A cheese head screw is a cylindrical-head fastener used to secure structural or mechanical components within a machine assembly. In vibratory plate compactors, fasteners like the 5100034546 are subjected to sustained, high-frequency vibration during operation, making correct grade and dimensional specification critical to maintaining joint integrity. When a fastener of the wrong spec is used — or when a worn or damaged screw is left in service — it can lead to loosened assemblies, accelerated wear on mating components, and potential structural failure of the connection point.
