Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl brake band is the safety-critical strap that forms part of the chain brake on Stihl professional chainsaws. Made from durable steel, it tightens around the clutch drum to stop the chain rapidly when the brake is activated, helping protect the user during kickback or when the saw needs to be halted quickly. It is designed for the Stihl MS651 and MS661 series, ensuring the correct fit and reliable performance under demanding cutting conditions. As an OEM component, it maintains the intended stopping force and consistent operation of the brake mechanism. Manufacturer Part Number: 1144 160 5400 (also referenced as 11441605400). If your existing band is worn, heat-marked, stretched, or cracked, fitting this replacement restores effective chain braking and supports safe day-to-day use.
