Andis Blade Drive Assembly for Excel/BGC Clippers - Fits BGC & BGC 2-Speed, OEM S20651 Restores Smooth Cutting

This is the genuine Andis Blade Drive Assembly (part S20651, formerly 22319) designed to restore blade motion in Excel/BGC and many compatible Andis clippers.

When a clipper’s blades stop moving smoothly or the cut becomes uneven, replacing the blade drive assembly often brings the tool back to reliable performance without buying a complete new clipper. This replacement piece fits a wide range of Andis models, including the Excel BGC and Excel 2-Speed BGC 2-Speed, plus many AG, BG, and MBG-series units. The assembly is sold alone — blades and housing are not included — and it’s an official Andis part engineered to match original equipment specifications.

How does this part fix a clipper that’s losing power or cutting unevenly?

Wear in the blade drive assembly can cause reduced blade travel or inconsistent motion, which shows up as snagging, pulling, or skipped hairs. Swapping the worn assembly with this OEM replacement restores the correct drive geometry and smooth reciprocating action.

• Matches original fit and tolerances for reliable performance
