Description
Overview:
This Tension Spring is a genuine Stihl replacement for the chain tensioning system on selected professional chainsaws, including the MS462 C-M and MS462 C-M R. Made from high‐tensile spring steel with a durable black finish, it provides reliable elastic force to keep the chain correctly tensioned during cutting. Consistent chain tension helps maintain cutting performance, reduces the risk of derailment, and limits premature wear to the bar, sprocket and chain. As an original part, it matches the factory specification for fit and function and replaces OEM No. 0000 997 5609. It is suitable for routine servicing or repair when the original spring is worn, distorted or lost, helping keep your saw operating safely and efficiently on site or in the workshop.

- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and performance (OEM No. 0000 997 5609)
- High‐tensile spring steel construction for strength and long service life
- Helps maintain steady chain tension for clean, safe and efficient cutting
- Direct replacement; fits without modification using standard hand tools

- Stable performance across a range of temperatures and work environments
- Suitable for professional forestry, arborist and grounds maintenance use
Typical Applications:
Used during routine maintenance or repair of the chain tensioner assembly on compatible Stihl chainsaws. Ideal when the original spring has lost tension, become damaged, or been misplaced.
