XLO O-Ring Chain

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.

Diamond designs each component to exacting dimensional standards for optimal performance. So, what makes this chain “reduced maintenance?” Diamond ^® XLO O-Ring chain is constructed with o-rings that seal a specially formulated lubricant into every joint – sealing out dirt, contaminants and moisture.

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

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.

We use a proprietary lubrication process on all lubricated chains for enhanced corrosion protection and extended wear life. Along with the initial factory lubrication, Diamond^® XLO O-Ring chain is constructed with o-rings that seal lubricant into every joint during application.

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.
