Heavy Series Chain

Just like our Standard Series, Diamond® Heavy Series roller chain is built to ANSI B29.1 standards for dimensions, interoperability and sprocket fit. The difference between the two is the thickness of the link plates. Heavy Series roller chain utilizes thicker link plates for increased fatigue resistance.

  • H Series: Contains a case-hardened pin and heavier link plates for increased fatigue strength and wear life in high speed or abrasive applications.
  • HS Series: Contains a through-hardened pin and heavier link plates for high load or pulsating applications.

We also offer an S Series chain with through-hardened pins and standard link plates for select applications.

Features & Benefits

  • Materials

    The Diamond Difference begins with raw materials that meet exacting standards for metal grade, mechanical properties, carbon and alloy content to ensure minimization of impurities that impact tensile and fatigue strength.

  • Fabrication

    Diamond designs each component to exacting dimensional standards for optimal performance. Precision ground pins, seamless rollers and extruded solid bushings work in concert with linkplates created using a proprietary multi-stage process to maximize the bearing area and thus enable the superior performance of Diamond® Heavy Series roller chain. Heavy Series chain also utilizes thicker linkplates for increased fatigue resistance.

  • Heat Treatment

    Strict control of atmosphere, time and temperature optimize the material properties – increasing strength, durability and wear resistance.

  • Shot Peening

    Proprietary shot peening equipment was developed specifically to ensure consistent intensity and coverage of components. Shot peening adds a layer of compressive stress that helps components resist fatigue failure when exposed to repeated high loads.

  • Lubrication

    We use a proprietary lubrication process on all lubricated chains for enhanced corrosion protection and extended wear life.

  • Preloading

    Following assembly, all chains are preloaded to firmly seat the pins and bushings. This is to reduce initial run-in and extend the wear life of the chain.
