STIHL Chainsaw Parts Engineering
STIHL saw chains are assembled in a simplistic pattern of three-link chains. The basic three elements in its design are; the drive links, tie straps, and left and right hand teeth. In low kickback chainsaws, hump drive link is specifically featured.
– Drive Links: The drive links are responsible for transferring power from the sprocket to the chain.
– Tie Straps: The tie straps are what connects the drive links with the cutting tooth.
– Cutting Teeth: The dimensions of the individual links, along with the cutting teeth shape differ with the single saw chain models. The structure of the cutting tooth is as follows below.
• Tooth body
• Depth of gauge
• Top plate equipped with a side-plate cutting edge
• Top-plate cutting edge
The angles in coordination with each other of the side-plate on the top-plate cutting edges are imperative to be precise for efficient cutting performance. The standard STIHL chainsaw are sharpened with a 30 degree angle.
STIHL Chainsaw Operation
According to the chipper tooth principle, planing off strands of wood determines how the cutting teeth function. Hence the top-plat cutting edge planes strand off all the while the side-plate cutting edge splits off the strand out the sides. The depth of the gauge setting, which is the gap between the top of the depth gauge and the leading edge of the top plate, ultimately determines the strand thickness and the penetration gap. For smooth operation, even cutting, and overall top quality performance, it is critical to have the cutting teeth set at the same length.
