Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl thrust plate (part no. 4230 642 4801) is a small but important wear component used in Stihl long‐reach hedge trimmer attachments, including FH-KM and HL-KM. Made from durable metal, it sits between moving parts to support axial loads and reduce friction, helping the gear head and linkage run smoothly. Fitting a fresh thrust plate can restore efficient cutting action, reduce heat and wear, and extend the service life of surrounding components. It is designed for regular maintenance and repair of Stihl KombiSystem hedge trimmer heads and selected HL/HLE machines used in demanding domestic, commercial, and grounds care work.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part for assured fit and reliability (4230 642 4801)
- Durable metal construction resists wear and deformation under load
- Reduces friction between mating parts to promote smooth operation
- Helps maintain consistent cutting performance and lower vibration
- Supports axial loads to protect gears, bearings, and linkages
- Suitable for heavy, frequent trimming in demanding environments
- Straightforward to replace during routine head service or rebuilds
- Compatible with Stihl FH-KM and HL-KM attachments and various HL/HLE models
Typical Applications:
Used during maintenance or repair of Stihl hedge trimmer gear heads and drive linkages to restore smooth running and reduce play. Common in workshop services for landscapers, grounds teams, tree surgeons, and homeowners maintaining long-reach trimmers for regular hedge cutting and shaping.
