Description
Overview:
This AV spring is a genuine Stihl component for the MS 500i chainsaw (OEM 1147 790 8301). It is a coil spring made from durable, high-tensile spring steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, built to work within the saw's anti‐vibration system. The spring isolates engine vibration from the handles, improving comfort, control and cut accuracy during prolonged use. Designed specifically for the Stihl MS 500i, it provides the correct fit and performance expected from original equipment. Suitable for professional users and DIY owners alike, it restores smooth operation when an existing spring has worn, fatigued or broken. Choosing the genuine part helps maintain the chainsaw's handling characteristics and protects surrounding components by reducing shock loads through the chassis.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for the MS 500i, ensuring the correct fit and performance
- Robust spring steel construction for long service life and resistance to fatigue
- Reduces transmitted vibration for better comfort and control
- Helps protect mounts, handles and fasteners by damping shock and oscillation
- Consistent performance in demanding outdoor conditions (dust, moisture and resin)
- Straightforward replacement with standard workshop tools, minimising downtime
- OEM reference 1147 790 8301 for accurate identification and ordering
- Suitable for preventative maintenance when vibration increases or a spring shows wear
Typical Applications:
Replacing worn or broken anti‐vibration hardware on Stihl MS 500i chainsaws used in forestry, arboriculture, grounds maintenance, estate work and firewood processing. Ideal when increased handle vibration, excessive movement, visible corrosion or spring deformation is noticed, or as part of scheduled servicing to keep the saw comfortable and controllable during long shifts.
