Description
Overview:
The Needle Cage 10x16x12 is a small-end needle roller bearing for Stihl professional chainsaws, built to support smooth, low-friction rotation in high‐revving two‐stroke engines. Manufactured from hardened bearing steel with precision-ground needle rollers, it is designed for durability under heavy load and high temperature. This genuine Stihl part fits models such as the MS462 and MS500i and is commonly used on the piston pin (gudgeon pin) to connect the piston to the connecting rod. Exact dimensions are 10 mm (0.39 in) inner diameter, 16 mm (0.63 in) outer diameter, and 12 mm (0.47 in) width. Supplied to OEM No. 9512 933 2379 for a direct, like‐for‐like replacement to maintain engine reliability and performance.

Typical Applications:
Used during routine maintenance or engine rebuilds on Stihl MS462 and MS500i chainsaws to replace a worn small‐end bearing.
