Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl torsion spring is a small but vital component used to maintain return tension in many Stihl machines. Made from durable spring steel, it is engineered to deliver consistent force in pivoting mechanisms so controls and linkages operate smoothly. Sized at 25 mm in length, it is a direct-fit replacement for selected tools, including the Stihl MS 211 and MS 211 C chainsaws, and a wide range of trimmers, hedge trimmers, edgers, Kombi tools, and MultiSystem units. Supplied as OEM Part No. 0000 998 0618, it supports reliable performance and helps restore proper function where the original spring has worn or failed. A practical, long-lasting part for routine maintenance or repair.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl replacement for assured fit and function (OEM Part No. 0000 998 0618)
- Durable spring-steel construction for reliable elasticity and service life
- 25 mm length for compact installations across compatible Stihl platforms
- Maintains correct return tension in levers and linkages to keep operation precise
- Direct-fit on listed models to reduce setup time and minimise downtime
- Suitable for chainsaws, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, edgers, pole pruners, and Kombi tools
- Helps restore performance when the original spring is damaged, weak, or missing
- Built to Stihl specifications for consistency, repeatable performance, and safety
Typical Applications:
Used in pivoting mechanisms that require a controlled return, such as control levers, triggers, guards, latches, and similar linkages on Stihl equipment. Ideal when refurbishing machines during routine servicing, or when diagnosing poor return action, sluggish controls, or components that fail to spring back. Suitable for professional and domestic users maintaining compatible chainsaws and garden machinery.
