Product information & specifications
Brake Band for Stihl MS201T - Genuine Chain Brake Part
This genuine STIHL brake band (OEM 1145 160 5400) is the friction band inside the chain brake housing that locks the drive sprocket the instant the brake is triggered. If your MS201T's chain brake feels slow to engage or has stopped gripping altogether, a worn or glazed brake band is usually the cause.
It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Key Features
- Genuine STIHL OEM part - No. 1145 160 5400
- Direct fit for MS201, MS201C, MS201T and MS201TC
- Restores full chain brake stopping force
- Straightforward swap during a routine clutch cover service
Technical Details
Why Choose This Brake Band?
A chain brake only works as well as its band - fitting a genuine STIHL part keeps the exact friction characteristics STIHL engineered the MS201T's brake system around, rather than gambling on an aftermarket band that may grip inconsistently.
Often replaced alongside:
Clutch cover and chain brake spring - both wear at a similar rate to the brake band.
