The 08-C2 chain is a double-strand roller chain according to the European BS standard, with a 1/2 inch pitch. It is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts when more load capacity is needed than a single-strand chain of the same pitch. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry it for building transmissions, equipment replacement and projects that require two rows of rollers working in parallel on the same sprocket.

This item is a double-strand roller chain of the BS series, identified as 08-C2. Its rollers have a diameter of 8.51 mm and the inner width between plates is 7.75 mm. The C2 suffix indicates two rows of rollers, which doubles the contact points with the sprocket compared to a single-strand chain. It is manufactured under the European standard, so its dimensions do not match those of ANSI chains with an equivalent pitch.

Typical applications are transmissions where axial space is limited but greater strength than a single-strand chain is needed: machine tools, conveyors, packaging equipment, mixers and low- and medium-speed drives. It is also used for replacing imported equipment that comes with a double-strand BS chain, where switching to a single-strand would require changing the sprocket.

To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the compatible sprocket: a C2 chain requires a double-strand sprocket, a single-strand one will not work. Also check lubrication and shaft alignment, because with a double strand any axial misalignment distributes the load poorly between the two rows of rollers. If the original equipment comes with a BS chain, do not replace it with an ANSI one without checking the pitch and the inner width.

If you need a different number of strands or a chain with a different pitch within the BS series, send us the part number and the dimensions shown on the equipment. We can also look for equivalents with ANSI chains if you send us the pitch and roller diameter. We handle inquiries for a single unit and for larger quantities for replacement or projects.

To request a quote, write to us via WhatsApp with the part number 08-C2 or with the full designation shown on the chain or in the equipment manual. If you have doubts about the number of strands, send a photo of the sprocket and the chain section. At MR Accesorios Industriales we reply with the corresponding reference and the options.
