Description
Overview:
This annular buffer is a vibration-damping mount for Stihl petrol chainsaws, designed to keep handling smooth and components protected under load. Made from durable elastomer rubber with a bonded metal sleeve, it absorbs engine and cutting vibrations before they reach the handles and chassis. By reducing vibration, it helps improve user comfort during longer cutting sessions and supports the longevity of surrounding parts. It is suitable for Stihl professional saws such as the 044 and MS440, and is commonly fitted within the anti-vibration system between the powerhead and handle assembly. Reference part numbers include 1128 790 9908 and 11287909908, providing a reliable match for maintenance and repair of compatible machines.
Key Features:
- Robust rubber damper with metal sleeve for effective vibration isolation
- Helps reduce hand-arm vibration exposure for the operator
- Supports smoother cutting control and more consistent bar tracking
- Protects adjacent components from shock and premature wear
- Straightforward like-for-like replacement with standard workshop tools
- Engineered for a secure fit within the chainsaw's AV mounting points
- Suitable for both frequent professional use and occasional DIY tasks
- Matches Stihl references 1128 790 9908 / 11287909908 for confident identification
Typical Applications:
