The Wacker Neuson Detent Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS walk-behind floor saws. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same specifications as the original, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. Compatible across both the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS saw models, the is the correct choice when restoring proper detent function to your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Tension Integrity — Manufactured to the original load and deflection spec, so the detent engages and releases with the same feel and resistance as the factory-installed part.
- Drop-In Installation — Engineered to seat directly into the original detent pocket with no rework, trimming, or adaptation needed at the mounting point.
- Confirmed Fitment for BFS Floor Saws — Verified for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS self-propelled walk-behind floor saw models.
- Restores Positive Locking Action — A worn or fatigued detent spring causes controls to slip out of position mid-cut; replacing it brings back crisp, positive engagement and accurate control placement.
- Operator Control Safety Relevance — Because detent springs hold selector positions in place during operation, using a correctly rated OEM spring is important for keeping controls locked where the operator sets them.
A detent spring is a small but mechanically critical component that holds a selector, lever, or collar in a defined position by applying controlled spring pressure against a detent ball or groove. In a walk-behind floor saw like the BFS series, this spring keeps operational controls — such as blade depth or drive engagement selectors — locked in the chosen setting so they do not drift during cutting. When the spring weakens or breaks, controls can slip under vibration, causing inconsistent cutting depth or unexpected disengagement of the drive, which disrupts the cut and adds wear to surrounding components.
