Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the same material and dimensional tolerances as the original, so the knob seats and engages exactly as intended during operation.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to align with the existing mounting point without alteration, making swap-out straightforward during routine service or field repair.
- Broad Wacker Neuson Fitment — Compatible with WP1540A, WP1540AW, WP1550A, and WP1550AW vibratory plates, HP100A and HPG100A truss screed power sections, WPU1550A and WPU1550AW compactors, PT2A rammers, BT24A and BT36A vibrators, and D3.5A modular vibrator systems.
- Secure Control Interface — A correctly fitted reinforcement knob maintains firm, positive operator control at the handle or adjustment point; a worn or cracked knob can compromise grip and lead to imprecise machine operation.
- OEM Part Number Accuracy — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5100071618 ensures you receive the exact replacement specified for your machine, eliminating guesswork at the parts counter.
A reinforcement knob serves as the operator's tactile interface at a control, adjustment point, or handle assembly on the machine. It provides a firm, ergonomic grip surface that allows the operator to apply controlled force when setting or adjusting a component, while the reinforced construction resists cracking or splitting under repeated use and exposure to jobsite conditions. When a reinforcement knob becomes worn, cracked, or missing, operator control at that point is reduced, which can affect adjustment precision and overall handling of the equipment.
