The 08-C2 chain is a double-strand roller chain according to European standard BS, 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 transmission assembly, equipment replacement and projects requiring two rows of rollers working in parallel on the same sprocket.

This item is a double-strand roller chain from 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 with a single-strand chain. It is manufactured under European standard, so its dimensions do not match ANSI chains of equivalent pitch.

Typical applications are drives 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 replacement in imported equipment that comes with double-strand BS chain, where replacing it with a single-strand chain 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, the single-strand one will not work. Also check lubrication and shaft alignment, because in a double-strand chain any axial misalignment distributes the load poorly between the two rows of rollers. If the original equipment has BS chain, do not replace it with ANSI without checking the pitch and inner width.

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

To request a quote, write to us on WhatsApp with the code 08-C2 or with the full designation shown on the chain or in the equipment manual. If you are unsure about the number of strands, send a photo of the sprocket and the chain section. At MR Accesorios Industriales, we will reply with the alternative we can offer and close-size options.
