Diamond double pitch roller chain connects parallel shafts in industrial drives. The double pitch layout allows it to carry higher loads than a comparable single pitch chain while using fewer rows. Typical applications include conveyors, mixers and agricultural equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers throughout the United States and Latin America, and helps you match the right chain to your drive.
Reading a Diamond C series code is straightforward. The letter C is followed by four digits: the first two express the pitch in eighths of an inch, and the last two define the construction. A suffix of 40 means standard diameter rollers; 42 means larger diameter rollers for higher loads. So C2040 and C2042 share a pitch but differ in load capacity, just as C2050 and C2052 do. Once you know this pattern, identifying the correct variant takes only a moment.
These chains are common in belt and roller conveyors, bucket elevators, balanced feed mixers, cement plant machinery and material handling equipment. You will also find them in combine harvesters, seeders and woodworking operations. Their construction suits dusty, vibrating environments with variable loads where dependable, low-maintenance transmission matters.
Selection depends on the power to be transmitted, shaft speed, center distance and operating environment. Check sprocket alignment and correct tension to prevent premature wear. Use the lubrication specified for your speed and working temperature; in dirty conditions, consider chains with seals or surface treatments. Install with suitable tools so rollers and plates are not damaged. Our team can assist if you need guidance.
Double pitch roller chains can be interchanged between brands when pitch, number of rows and roller dimensions match. Diamond dimensions are generally compatible with those of other manufacturers. If you are replacing a chain from another brand, send us the part number or measurements and we will identify the equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the suffix 40 or 42 mean in a C2040 or C2042 chain?
- The suffix 40 indicates standard diameter rollers; 42 indicates larger diameter rollers, which increases load capacity. Both share the same pitch. Choose based on load and available space.
- How do I determine which double pitch chain my machine needs?
- You need the pitch, number of rows and power to be transmitted, plus speed and environment. Send your equipment data on WhatsApp and we will help you select the right Diamond model.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with a Diamond one?
- Yes, if pitch, number of rows and roller dimensions match. Diamond is compatible with many brands. Send the original chain's part number and we will tell you the Diamond equivalent.
