Diamond Series Product Catalog From standard drive chains to specialty applications, nothing outlasts a Diamond.® Diamond Chain Difference Diamond Diamond Chain Company Selection Dedicated To Producing The Worlds Best Roller Chain Guide Since 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 needs. Carbon Diamond Chain Company offers two families of roller chain: Diamond Series and Sapphire Series. Diamond Steel Series is the standard offering with industry leading performance, options and features. Sapphire Series is an industry competitive chain offering for general applications. This catalog details the Diamond Series only. & Moisture & Moisture Corrosion Resistant Industry-leading performance Basic chain offering for and innovation general applications Maintenance Reduced Attachments Application Specific Horsepower Tables Diamond Chain Company is proud to have been based in Indianapolis, Indiana, since its founding and in the same factory - with many expansions - since 1917. A division of Amsted Industries, Diamond Chain Company is employee owned and focused on the customer.

The uniquely beveled Selection link plates (sizes 60-160) and proprietary lubrication are easily identified, but the real value of these features - and all the features that comprise “The Diamond Difference” (see pg. 4-5) - are not just seen but experienced. Diamond Series chain has been independently verified to deliver superior wear life vs. the competition. That comparative wear test data is listed below; our website also contains numerous Return on Investment (ROI) studies that demonstrate Steel how long-lasting Diamond Series chain reduces downtime and saves money.

The Diamond Difference is our commitment to quality that ensures you only receive the highest quality chain for your application. Carbon Steel & Moisture & Moisture Corrosion Resistant Materials Heat Treatment The Diamond Difference begins with Strict control of atmosphere, time, raw materials that meet exacting and temperature optimize the standards for metal grade, mechanical material properties – increasing properties and carbon and alloy content strength, durability and wear Maintenance Reduced to ensure minimization of impurities that resistance. impact tensile and fatigue strength.

By orienting Corrosion chain uses a proprietary lubrication & Moisture formula and “hot dip” process on all the link plates, the bearing area of the lubricated chains for enhanced corrosion protection and extended wear life. pitch hole is maximized.
