Description
Overview:
This Annular Buffer is a genuine Stihl OEM vibration isolator for large professional chainsaws, including the 088 and MS 880. Manufactured from durable black rubber with a bonded metal sleeve, it sits between the engine unit and the handle system to absorb vibration, improving user comfort and helping protect the saw's structure. By reducing transmitted vibration, it supports smoother control and helps extend the service life of adjacent components. Supplied as the correct, direct-fit replacement under Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) 1124 790 9920, it maintains the original performance of the anti-vibration system on heavy-duty saws used in forestry, landscaping, and milling work. Built for reliability in harsh conditions, it offers a long-lasting fix when the original buffer has hardened, cracked, or lost effectiveness.
