Description
0000 642 1216 – STIHL® Rim Sprocket 3/8" Pitch, 8-Tooth (Genuine OEM)
The STIHL® 0000 642 1216 rim sprocket is a genuine OEM 3/8" pitch, 8-tooth rim sprocket designed for high-performance professional chainsaws. This sprocket transfers engine power from the clutch to the chain, ensuring smooth operation, consistent chain speed, and reduced wear on the clutch drum and chain.
Rim sprockets are preferred in professional applications because they allow easier replacement, improved chain alignment, and longer component life compared to spur sprockets.
