Description
Overview:
The Brake Band for Stihl MS271 and MS271C (part number 1141 160 5400) is a genuine Stihl OEM safety component for petrol chainsaws. Made from heat-treated spring steel, it wraps around the clutch drum and tightens instantly when the chain brake is engaged, stopping the chain to reduce the risk of injury and damage. Its robust construction provides dependable braking performance under repeated high-load use, helping to maintain safe operation and precise control. Designed for direct fitment on compatible Stihl models, it restores correct brake function when the original band is worn or fatigued. This Genuine Part matches factory dimensions and tension characteristics, ensuring consistent stopping power and compatibility with the existing brake mechanism and cover components on MS271 and MS271C saws.
