Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl needle cage bearing (MPN 9512 003 2333) is a small, hardened steel roller bearing that supports high‐speed rotating parts in the chain drive and clutch area of a chainsaw. The precision needle rollers run within a steel cage to minimise friction and wear, helping the machine to start cleanly and run smoothly under load. Designed for Stihl petrol chainsaws, it delivers the correct fit and running clearances for reliable performance on models such as the MS271 and MS291. By keeping the clutch drum and sprocket rotating freely on the crankshaft, it helps protect adjacent components and maintain consistent chain speed. Durable construction and an accurate OEM fit make it a practical service replacement for professional users and home owners alike.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and fit
- Hardened steel needle rollers and cage for wear resistance under high RPM
- Low‐friction support for clutch drum/sprocket assemblies to reduce heat and drag
- Helps maintain smooth chain drive and consistent cutting performance
- Supports long service life of the drum, rim sprocket, and crankshaft journal
- Straightforward to fit during routine clutch or sprocket maintenance
- Stable performance under continuous use and variable loads
- Built to OEM tolerances for reliable alignment and operation
Typical Applications:
Used during routine servicing or repairs of the clutch and chain sprocket on Stihl chainsaws. Ideal when replacing a worn drum or rim sprocket, or when addressing symptoms such as rough rotation, noise, or inconsistent chain speed. Suitable for professional forestry, landscaping, estate maintenance, and domestic firewood work where dependable chain drive performance is important.
Also known as:
Needle roller bearing, cage bearing, roller cage, clutch drum bearing, sprocket needle bearing, crankshaft sprocket bearing. These terms refer to the same style of compact bearing that supports a rotating assembly on a shaft with closely spaced needle rollers to reduce friction and wear.
