The Diamond AP series roller chain is built from plates, pins, and rollers that mesh with sprockets to carry motion from one shaft to another. It suits machinery in industrial, agricultural, and transport settings where a positive, synchronized drive is needed. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you match the right chain to your application.
Reading the code: the base number tells you the pitch and strength, while the letters and figures after it set the variant. In the AP line you will see SS codes like 25SS, 35SS, 40SS, 41SS, and 47SS. A hyphen followed by 2, as in 25-2SS or 40-2SS, marks a two-strand chain. The SS suffix points to a particular version inside the series. Send the full code stamped on the plate or the old chain so we can identify it.
Where it works: these chains show up in agricultural equipment and grain conveyors, as well as in food, textile, and woodworking plants. You will also find them in bottling lines, conveyor drives, and construction machinery. Their construction handles dust, humidity, and changing loads when the pitch and strand count are chosen correctly.
Selecting and mounting: match the pitch, number of strands, load, and working speed to your drive. Align the sprockets, set the tension, and lubricate for the service. Sealing and regular lubrication help the chain last. In dirty conditions, use guards or a lubricant suited to the environment. We can guide you through selection and installation.
Replacement: roller chains are made to standards that allow interchange between brands. Bring a chain from another source and we can identify the equivalent by pitch and strand count, then quote the matching Diamond. The AP series keeps standardized dimensions, so you can replace it without altering existing sprockets. Ask about any code or size.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the SS suffix mean in Diamond AP series chains?
- The SS suffix marks a variant within the AP series, seen in single-strand codes such as 25SS, 35SS, or 40SS. Send us the full code and we will provide the technical details for your chain.
- How do I find the right roller chain for my machine?
- Identify the pitch, number of strands, and length. The code is often stamped on the plates of the old chain. If not, measure the distance between pins and count the strands. With that information we will quote the correct Diamond chain.
- Will Diamond AP series chains fit sprockets from other brands?
- Yes. Standardized roller chains are interchangeable between brands that follow the same standard. Give us the pitch and strand count, and we will confirm the AP series equivalent and quote the chain you need.
