The Husqvarna 505424502 Antivibration Element is a genuine OEM component designed for the K960 and K970 power cutters. As a direct OEM replacement, this element meets Husqvarna's original material and damping specifications, restoring the vibration isolation performance the machine was built with. DHS Equipment supplies this part to help keep your equipment running at full capacity and your operators working in comfort throughout the day.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Damping Material — Manufactured to Husqvarna's original compound and compression specifications, ensuring the element absorbs and isolates engine vibration at the correct rate — not too stiff, not too soft.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mount geometry and hardware interface of the K960 and K970, so installation follows the standard service procedure without modification.
- Compatible with K960 and K970 Power Cutters — Confirmed fitment across the K960 and K970 power cutter lines; cross-reference 505424502 against your parts diagram to verify the correct position before ordering.
- Restored Operator Comfort — A correctly functioning antivibration element keeps handle vibration within acceptable limits during extended cutting operations, reducing hand-arm fatigue across a full shift.
- Operational Safety Compliance — Worn or degraded antivibration elements allow excessive vibration transmission to the handles, contributing to hand-arm vibration exposure beyond recommended thresholds. Replacing a failed element with part number 505424502 helps maintain compliance with vibration exposure guidelines on the worksite.
The Antivibration Element acts as a flexible isolator between the engine and cutting unit and the operator handles, absorbing the high-frequency vibration generated during cutting. When this element degrades — cracking, hardening, or losing its elasticity — vibration passes directly through the chassis to the handles, increasing operator fatigue and potentially elevating hand-arm vibration exposure. Replacing a worn element restores the damping gap the machine relies on to meet its original vibration performance rating.
