Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl clutch (OEM 4224 160 2001) is a centrifugal clutch assembly for Stihl cut-off saws, designed to fit the TS 700 and TS 800. Built from durable metal, it engages the drive as engine speed increases and disengages at idle to prevent the wheel from turning. The clutch transfers power smoothly to the belt drive, helping maintain consistent cutting performance and reducing unnecessary wear on other drive components. Engineered to Stihl's specifications, it is a direct replacement for worn or slipping clutches and helps restore safe, reliable operation. Suitable for professional and heavy-duty use, it supports the demanding workloads typical of construction, roadworks, and landscaping tasks where these powerful saws are commonly used.
