The Wacker Neuson Hexagonal Head Cap Screw is a genuine OEM fastener designed for the VP1030, VP1135, VP1340, VP1550, and VP2050 series single-direction vibratory plates. As a direct-from-manufacturer component, it meets the exact torque and dimensional specifications called out in the original equipment build. This screw fits across a wide range of VP-series plate compactor variants — including R, A, W, and RW suffix models — making it a versatile stock item for operators and service shops running mixed fleets. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure the correct match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread and Head Specification — Manufactured to the exact hexagonal head profile and thread pitch specified by Wacker Neuson, ensuring consistent torque retention under vibratory load cycles.
- Drop-In Installation — Replaces the original screw position-for-position with no reworking of mating holes or hardware required.
- Broad VP-Series Compatibility — Fits VP1030, VP1135, VP1340, VP1550, and VP2050 variants across R, A, W, RW, and AW configurations, covering a wide span of Wacker Neuson single-direction vibratory plate models.
- Vibration-Resistant Fastening — A correctly specified cap screw maintains clamping force through continuous plate compactor operation; an undersized or incorrect fastener can loosen progressively and compromise structural integrity of the assembly.
- Authorized Wacker Neuson Part — Part number 5000401840 is sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson OEM supply chain, so you receive the same hardware installed at the factory.
A hexagonal head cap screw is a precision fastener used to clamp and secure structural or mechanical assemblies within the vibratory plate. In a plate compactor, fasteners like the 5000401840 are subjected to constant high-frequency vibration, which places repeated stress on the clamping joint. When a cap screw wears, stretches, or is replaced with an incorrect substitute, the joint can lose clamping load — leading to loosening, component movement, or accelerated wear on surrounding parts. Using the correct OEM-specified screw maintains the integrity of the fastened joint and keeps the plate performing as designed through demanding compaction work.
