When you need to replace a worn chain on a conveyor, mill, or packaging line, the 12-C2 from the BS series is a solid option. It is a double-strand roller chain built to European standard BS, with a 12.7 mm pitch, a roller diameter of 12.07 mm, and an inner width of 11.68 mm. The carbon steel construction handles demanding industrial drives. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this chain and can help you confirm the right fit for your sprockets.
The 12-C2 code tells you most of what you need to know. The 12.7 mm (half-inch) pitch matches the sprocket spacing. The C indicates the European BS series, and the 2 means two strands. Running two strands side by side lets the chain carry more load than a single-strand chain of the same pitch, so it suits drives where torque is high or space is tight. The chain is made of carbon steel and follows the BS standard, so it interchanges with other components in that system.
You will see this chain in roller and belt conveyors moving material continuously, as well as in mills, mixers, bucket elevators, and food-processing equipment. In agriculture, it shows up on seeders and harvesters. The double-strand design is also useful when you want to keep the overall drive width narrow without giving up capacity.
Before ordering, check the power to be transmitted, the speed, and the number of teeth on your sprockets. Make sure the pitch matches your existing sprockets and that the chain length fits the center distance. During installation, align the shafts and set the tension correctly: too tight and you accelerate wear on bearings and sprockets; too loose and the chain can jump or hit. Regular lubrication is the simplest way to extend service life.
If you are looking for an equivalent, send us the exact code from the plate or the original component. With that, we can identify the series, pitch, and number of strands, and suggest the best alternative for your equipment. We can also advise on modifying the length or the joint type. MR Industrial Accessories works with power transmission parts every day and can help you find the right chain.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 12-C2 designation mean on a BS chain?
- The 12-C2 is a roller chain under European standard BS. The 12.7 mm (half-inch) pitch is the distance between pins. The C stands for the European series, and the 2 indicates double strand. Two strands give it more load capacity than a single-strand chain of the same pitch.
- How do I check if this chain fits my sprocket?
- Compare the chain pitch (12.7 mm) with your sprocket pitch. Also check the roller diameter (12.07 mm) and inner width (11.68 mm). If your sprocket is made for a BS chain with a 12.7 mm pitch, the 12-C2 will fit.
- What lubrication should I use on this chain?
- Use a good-quality oil or grease and apply it regularly based on your operating conditions. In dusty or high-temperature areas, choose a lubricant made for those environments and inspect the chain more often. Proper lubrication reduces wear and helps the chain last longer.
