The 12-C2 chain is a power transmission component under European standard BS, designed to transmit motion between parallel shafts in industrial machinery. Its roller and steel plate construction allows it to withstand high loads and run at moderate speeds. It is used in equipment requiring synchronization and power transmission, such as conveyors, mills and machine tools. MR Accesorios Industriales offers this chain and advises you so you choose the right size for your application.
This item is a roller chain from the BS series, identified as 12-C2. Its main attributes are a roller diameter of 12.07 mm and an inner width of 11.68 mm. The 12-C2 designation indicates a chain with a 12.7 mm pitch (half inch) and double strand, which doubles the load capacity compared with a single-strand chain of the same pitch. It is made of carbon steel and complies with European standard BS, which guarantees its interchangeability with standard components of that system.
12-C2 chains are used in a wide variety of industrial applications. They are common in roller and belt conveyors, where loads must be moved continuously. They are also found in mills, mixers, bucket elevators and machines for the food industry. In the agricultural sector, they are used in seeders and harvesters. Their double strand makes them suitable for drives that must handle high torques or where available space is limited, since they allow the total width of the drive to be reduced.
To correctly select a 12-C2 chain, keep in mind the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed and the number of teeth on the sprockets. It is essential to verify that the pitch matches that of the existing sprockets and that the chain length is suitable for the center distance. During assembly, make sure the shafts are aligned and the tension is correct: an overly tight chain accelerates wear on bearings and sprockets, while a loose chain can jump or hit. Periodic lubrication is key to extending service life.
If you need an equivalent chain or an adjacent size, the most practical thing is to send us the exact code shown on the plate or on the original component. With that data, we can identify the series, pitch and number of strands, and offer you the alternative that best suits your equipment. We can also advise you if you need to modify the length or type of joint. At MR Accesorios Industriales we have experience in power transmission and can help you find the right chain for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 12-C2 designation mean on a BS chain?
- The 12-C2 designation indicates a roller chain under European standard BS with a 12.7 mm (half inch) pitch and double strand. The letter C corresponds to the European series and the number 2 to the number of strands. This doubles the load capacity compared with a single-strand chain of the same pitch.
- How do I know if this chain is compatible with my sprocket?
- To verify compatibility, compare the chain pitch (12.7 mm) with the sprocket pitch. The roller diameter (12.07 mm) and inner width (11.68 mm) must also match. If the sprocket is for a BS chain with a 12.7 mm pitch, the 12-C2 chain will be compatible.
- What lubrication do you recommend for this chain?
- Lubrication with good-quality oil or grease is recommended, applied periodically according to working conditions. In dusty or high-temperature environments, it is advisable to use specific lubricants and increase the inspection frequency. Proper lubrication reduces wear and extends the service life of the chain.
