Longer lasting chain results in less downtime and better return on investment
It is evident that a Diamond Series roller chain is different the moment it is removed from the box. The uniquely
beveled linkplates (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. Comparative

requirements of the specific application.
Attachments

Moisture resistant chain: Recommended for applications with high humidity, saltwater, or water
exposure/wash down. Because water is the principle element of concern, a plated carbon steel chain is the
recommended option as it provides superior strength and wear life, as well as lower cost, when compared
to stainless steel. Two plating options are available:

Duralube LIVE Roller Chain

Reduced

Reduced Maintenance roller chains are intended for applications where regular lubrication is not possible or
practical. The life of these chains is significantly greater than a traditional chain that only has its initial lubrication.
Attachments

In all cases, life of reduced maintenance chain can be extended even further if regularly lubricated.

Duralube® LIVE Duralube LIVE is a reduced maintenance chain specifically designed for moderate speed, moderate
ambient temperature (<120°F/49°C), clean environments. Lubricant is impregnated into a specially
designed bushing and released during service, providing supplemental lubrication to the pin/bushing

Reduced Maintenance
Diamond EHT
Diamond EHT is a optional heat treatment that is available on most carbon steel Diamond Series roller chain*.

Difference
Diamond
EHT (Enhanced Hardening Treatment) pins have a unique case-hardening that maintains the pin hardness
in hot, high speed, or abrasive applications. By maintaining pin hardness in these difficult environments,
superior wear performance is obtained. In contrast to coatings or platings, EHT pins offer a consistent pin
hardness over a wide temperature range with no adverse wear if operated at ambient temperatures or lower
speeds. Recommended for operating temperatures up to 450°F (232°C).

Selection
Guide
Please note that EHT is an available option on most carbon steel chains*; specify by adding EHT to the part
number (e.g. 60 EHT). The table below is a reference that contains the most popular EHT part numbers.
*EHT pins are not available for High Strength or Hoist and Lift chain as medium carbon through-hardened
pins are more appropriate for high shock applications. EHT pins are also not available for stainless steel
chains.

and precision asDiamond Series roller chain. High-volume attachments have dedicated tooling and presses to quickly
and repeatedly produce parts for an order, while lower volume and custom designs are fabricated using our laser
fabrication cell that allows precision cutting without long equipment changeover or extensive tooling times.
This section details standard Diamond Series attachments that can accommodate a variety of uses. However, in
Attachments

some cases attachment chain is very specific to the application (e.g. pin oven chain, thermoforming chain, serrated
top chain). If the desired attachment is not found in this section, please reference the “application specific” section of
this catalog. If still not located, please contact Diamond Chain Customer Service to learn how custom parts can be
created for your specific application.
Attachment Chain Guidelines:
Application
Specific

Modifications: All attachments are designed and heat treated to permit further operations by the user such as
drilling, reaming and tapping. Welding, however, should never be performed as it can adversely affect the heat
treatment of the material.
Extended pins: Extended pins are made from medium carbon through-hardened steel and specially heat treated for
Horsepower

ductility and toughness.

Tables

Shouldered pins: Diamond does not recommend the use of “shouldered pins”, as quality is compromised due to
high stress concentration where the diameters change. Additions of sleeves or bearings on extended pins often yield
a more dependable design at a lower cost.
Components

Attachment hole sizes: If the application requires a different attachment hole than shown, please contact Diamond
Chain Customer Service as alternative lug holes may be available.
Chain

Length matching: For applications requiring two or more chains to run in parallel with “flights” joining the chain,
it is critical to have the chains ordered as a set, matched for length, and installed on the machinery with the same
relationship to one another as when manufactured.
Troubleshooting

Standard chain tolerance: ASME/ANSI tolerance on a chain is +0.016"/-0.000" per foot.

Tools,

Class 1 matching: ensures the longest and shortest chain in a set do not vary in length by more than

0.006"/ft. (0.5mm/m).
Class 2 matching: ensures the longest and shortest chain in a set do not vary in length by more than
0.002"/ft. (0.1667 mm/m).

cans per minute. Diamond Chain offers two styles of pin oven chain that can be configured with various length pins and
tips, in addition to custom designs.
Standard Pin Oven Chain uses ANSI #60 chain that has been modified for additional clearances to accommodate the
high temperature drying ovens and to allow more lubricant to enter the critical pin/bushing joint.
RING LEADER® O-Ring Pin Oven Chain is more commonly used in this application. The chain utilizes a special

Selection
Guide
compound o-ring that allows operation in temperatures up to 450°F (232°C) and that seals in lubrication while sealing
out contaminants. The resulting chain runs more smoothly and evenly with less vibration, providing less downtime,
fewer jams and more consistent production capacity. Note: chain does require periodic lubrication of the o-ring surface.
Also, be certain to remove any wire cleaning brushings from the line such that the o-ring surface does not become
inadvertently damaged.

Carbon
Steel
The pins on standard and o-ring chain are built into the linkplate itself - not as an “add on” attachment. The default
material for the pins is a medium carbon through-hardened steel such that if an obstruction is encountered in application
the pin will “bend”. In that scenario, the pins can be straightened back to their original position in seconds. Case-
hardened low carbon steel is also an option, resulting in pins that “break away” when contacted by an obstruction.

Stainless steel pins are also available.
Pin Extensions & Tips. Because of the variability in applications, Diamond Chain offers numerous tips and pin
extensions. The most common is a spring-loaded pin tip assembled with a side plate to end-of-tip dimension of seven
inches (178mm). The table below shows the most common tips; if the desired configuration is not listed, Diamond Chain

can easily create custom components for the specific application. The tips can be manufactured from steel, aluminum,

Length matching: Length matching is critical in thermoforming applications, where multiple chains in parallel are supporting a
common piece of material. Diamond chain recommends all thermoforming chains to be ordered as a set, matched for length,
and installed as a set to prevent the thermoforming material from twisting during processing.
Class 1 matching. For relatively small spans between chains, class 1 matching ensures the longest and shortest chain

in a set do not vary by more than 0.006"/foot (0.5mm/m).

Class 2 matching. For longer spans between chains, class 2 matching ensures the longest and shortest chain in a set
do not vary by more than 0.002"/foot (0.1667mm/m).
EHT Pins: Enhanced Hardening Treatment (EHT) pins are designed specifically for high temperature applications; the

enhanced hardening treatment prevents the pin from “softening” in extreme temperature and thus prevents premature wear.

TUF-FLEX® Chain
TUF-FLEX chain is designed to handle shaft or sprocket misalignment rather than a lateral turn. These chains can
handle up to four inches (101mm) of lateral displacement in every four feet (1.2m) of chain length and up to eight
degrees of axial twist. The special design provides extra durability and unusual flexibility to meet the strenuous
demands of heavy duty construction machinery.

How To Measure Chain Wear
1 - As a safety precaution, shut off power and lock out gears and sprockets before attempting to measure chain wear.

Difference
Diamond
2 - Determine the pitch of the chain. This is typically stamped on the outer linkplates of the chain. It can also be
determined by measuring the distance from the center of one pin to the center of the next pin. Refer to the
previous pages in this catalog for a list of ANSI standard chain models and correlating pitch measurements or
visit www.diamondchain.com.

Selection
Guide
3 - For reliable linear measurement, a taut span of chain must be used. Using slack chain will result in inaccurate
measurements.

Carbon
4 - Choose either a 1.5% or 3% wear elongation limit to check your span of chain. Each percentage correlates to a

Steel
different side of the scale. The maximum allowable wear elongation is typically 3% for most industrial applications,
depending upon sprocket design. In drives having fixed center distances, chains running in parallel, or where
smoother operation is required, chain wear should be limited to approximately 1.5%.
Example: Using ASME/ANSI 60 roller chain, 13 pitches would measure 9.75 inches for nominal length (13 pitches x .75 pitch).

Corrosion

Resistant
A maximum wear calculation of 3% would be 1.03 x 9.75 or 10.0425 inches. A maximum wear calculation of 1.5% would be
