Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl thrust plate is a small but critical wear part used in the PolyCut6-3 and FixCut5-2 cutting heads fitted to Stihl brushcutters and trimmers. Made from durable steel, it sits within the head assembly to carry axial loads and support smooth rotation between components, helping the cutting head run evenly at high speed. Accurate sizing ensures reliable alignment and consistent performance: the inner diameter is 16 mm and the outer diameter is 28 mm. By maintaining correct spacing and reducing friction, the thrust plate helps limit premature wear on surrounding parts, supporting both efficiency and service life. It is a straightforward replacement during routine maintenance for users who cut grass, weeds, and light brush with these Stihl heads.
