Description
Overview:
This Needle Cage Bearing 10x14x12.5 is a genuine Stihl spare for compact two‐stroke chainsaws, including the MS231 and MS231C. It is a cylindrical needle roller assembly with a steel cage that guides precision rollers to carry high radial loads in a tight space. The bearing supports rotating components inside the engine and drivetrain, helping to reduce friction, heat, and wear for smoother running and consistent power. Its nominal size is 10 mm x 14 mm x 12.5 mm (approximately 0.39 in x 0.55 in x 0.49 in), providing an exact fit where specified by Stihl. Made for demanding chainsaw use, it suits high RPM operation and frequent start/stop cycles. Being a genuine Stihl part helps ensure correct tolerances, reliable seating, and long service life when installed and lubricated as recommended.

Typical Applications:
Used within Stihl chainsaws to support rotating parts in the engine or drive system where a compact, high-load radial bearing is required. Commonly fitted during top-end refreshes, clutch or drivetrain service, or whenever play, scoring, or noise is detected. Ideal for restoring smooth operation and preventing premature wear of adjoining components.
Also known as:
Needle roller bearing, needle cage, roller cage bearing, small-end bearing, gudgeon pin bearing, wrist pin bearing, crank/bush needle bearing (application-dependent). These terms describe similar compact radial bearings that use needle rollers to carry load with minimal friction in tight assemblies.
