Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl brake band (OEM 1147 160 5400) is a safety-critical component for the chain brake system on Stihl MS500i / MS 500 I chainsaws. The band is a formed steel strap engineered to clamp the clutch drum rapidly, stopping the chain when the front hand guard is activated. Built for high friction and heat cycles, it restores positive chain-stopping performance when the original band is worn, scored, or stretched. Ideal for professional and domestic users alike, it helps maintain safe operation and correct braking response on modern high‐performance saws. As an original Stihl part, it ensures the correct fit and function within the brake mechanism, supporting reliable use in forestry, arboriculture, and firewood cutting.

- Consistent performance when replacing bands worn by abrasion or glazing
- Smooth running surface to reduce drag on the clutch drum when disengaged
- Straightforward installation within the clutch cover assembly using standard workshop tools
- Reliable long-term service when maintained and kept free of resin and debris
Typical Applications:
Replacement of a fatigued or damaged chain brake band on Stihl MS500i saws used in felling, snedding, cross-cutting, and firewood production. Suitable for routine maintenance, safety inspections, or after chain brake overload events to ensure fast chain arrest and compliant operation.
