Description
Overview:
The Brake Band for Stihl MS 441 and MS 441 C is a genuine OEM safety component that stops the chain swiftly when the chain brake is activated. Made from durable steel, the band wraps around the clutch drum and tightens under braking force to halt rotation. This maintains safe operation during cutting and helps prevent kickback injuries. Built for heavy-duty use on professional and domestic petrol saws, it is suited to demanding work in forestry, arborist tasks, and site work. Supplied as Stihl part number 1138 160 5400, it restores reliable braking performance when the original band is worn, heat-darkened, or stretched. The precise fit supports consistent engagement, helping protect the clutch drum and brake mechanism while keeping downtime low.
