Description
Overview:
This Chain Guide Plate is a Genuine Husqvarna OEM component for the T540XP and T540XP II top‐handle chainsaws. Made from stamped steel for strength and wear resistance, it sits in the crankcase/bar mount area to keep the chain running true as it moves from the drive sprocket onto the guide bar. By supporting and aligning the chain, it helps prevent premature wear on the crankcase and maintains smooth, accurate cutting. It is designed as a direct replacement for a worn or damaged original plate, restoring correct chain line and overall cutting performance. Built to Husqvarna's tolerances for a precise fit, it is a practical service item for professional arborists, grounds teams, and anyone maintaining these compact, high‐performance saws.
Key Features:
- Genuine Husqvarna OEM part for assured compatibility and durability
- Stamped steel construction with a hard‐wearing finish for long service life
- Precise fit in the crankcase/bar mount area of the saw
- Maintains correct chain alignment to reduce derailment risk and vibration
- Protects the crankcase from chain and drive link wear
- Restores cutting efficiency after impact damage or heavy use
- Like‐for‐like replacement; no modifications or special tools typically required
- Ideal to renew during bar, chain, and sprocket servicing intervals
Typical Applications:
Used during routine servicing or repair of Husqvarna T540XP‐series saws when the original plate shows grooves, bending, or wear that can misalign the chain. Suitable for arborist climbing work, utility pruning, dismantling, and general grounds maintenance where smooth chain tracking and reliable cutting performance are essential.
