Description
Overview:
The brake band is a critical safety component for Husqvarna chainsaws that clamps the clutch drum to stop chain rotation when the chain brake is triggered. This genuine Husqvarna brake band (OEM 587 87 73 01) is engineered for a precise fit on the T525 and GZ2700T. Made from high‐strength spring steel with a smooth, wear‐resistant finish, it withstands repeated braking without losing shape. Fitted inside the clutch cover, it works with the existing hand guard and inertia mechanism to deliver fast, reliable stopping power. Replacing a worn, stretched, or heat‐marked band restores consistent braking performance and reduces the risk of chain run‐on. Suitable for tradespeople and DIY users who need dependable safety and reliable operation from their saws.
Key Features:
- Genuine Husqvarna part for assured compatibility and quality
- OEM reference 587 87 73 01 for accurate identification and ordering
- Durable spring steel construction for long service life under repeated braking
- Precise profile to seat around the clutch drum for smooth, even braking
- Helps restore fast chain stop times and consistent safety performance
- Works with the original chain brake mechanism and clutch cover hardware
- Straightforward replacement using basic hand tools to minimise downtime
Typical Applications:
Used to maintain safe operation of Husqvarna chainsaws in pruning, limbing, and light felling. Ideal for arborist work with compact top‐handle saws, property and grounds maintenance, landscaping, and workshop servicing. Suitable for routine replacement when the chain brake shows reduced effectiveness or visible band wear.
