Diamond Series Product Catalog - The Diamond Chain …

1 From standard drive chains to specialty applications, nothing outlasts a Diamond . Diamond Series Product Catalog2 1-800 US Chain (872-4246) | SteelCorrosion & Moisture ResistantReduced MaintenanceAttachmentsApplication SpecificHorsepower TablesChain ComponentsTools, TroubleshootingOrdering InformationTerms and ConditionsDedicated To Producing The Worlds Best Roller ChainSince its founding in 1890, the Diamond Chain Company has been singularly focused on producing the best roller Chain . It s why the Wright Brothers chose Diamond for their flying machine, why Henry Ford chose Diamond for his automobile, and why thousands of companies choose Diamond Chain everyday for their Chain Company is proud to have been based in Indianapolis, Indiana, since its founding and in the same factory - with many expansions - since 1917.

2 A division of Amsted Industries, Diamond Chain Company is employee owned and focused on the Chain Company offers two families of roller Chain : Diamond Series and Sapphire Series . Diamond Series is the standard offering with industry leading performance, options and features. Sapphire Series is an industry competitive Chain offering for general applications.

6 The Diamond Difference is our commitment to quality that ensures you only receive the highest quality Chain for your Diamond DifferenceHeat Treatment Strict control of atmosphere, time, and temperature optimize the material properties increasing strength, durability and wear Diamond Difference begins with raw materials that meet exacting standards for metal grade, mechanical properties and carbon and alloy content to ensure minimization of impurities that impact tensile and fatigue Chain designs each component to exacting dimensional standards for optimal performance. Precision ground pins, seamless rollers and extruded solid bushings work in concert with link plates created using a proprietary multi-stage process to maximize the bearing area and thus enable the superior performance of Diamond Roller | 1-800 US Chain (872-4246)DiamondChainDiamondDifferenceS electionGuideCarbon SteelCorrosion & Moisture ResistantReduced MaintenanceAttachmentsApplication SpecificHorsepower TablesChain ComponentsTools, TroubleshootingOrdering InformationTerms and ConditionsPreloadingFollowing assembly, all chains are preloaded or prestressed to firmly seat the pins and bushings to reduce initial run-in and extend the wear life of the Chain .

7 Lubrication Immediately noticeable as different but truly appreciated over time, Diamond Chain uses a proprietary lubrication formula and hot dip process on all lubricated chains for enhanced corrosion protection and extended wear BEVEL MATTERSD iamond Chain Company roller chains are beveled for a simple reason - it allows the Chain to be stronger. By orienting the link plates, the bearing area of the pitch hole is maximized. The bevel allows automated Chain assembly equipment to properly orient the link plates. Larger size chains (>160 pitch) are manually assembled and have visual indicators other than the bevel to allow proper orientation.
