Diamond ISO/British Standard roller chains with oval contour are used to link shafts through sprockets, transmitting motion and torque efficiently. They suit industrial applications that need synchronization and load capacity. The steel plates and rollers provide durability and smooth running, making these chains a dependable choice for agricultural, industrial, and transport machinery.
These Diamond chains follow ISO/British Standard nomenclature. Take DMD-08BOC-2: it has pitch 08B, oval contour (OC), and two strands. DMD-12BOC-2 and DMD-16BOC-2 use pitches 12B and 16B, also double strand. The trailing number tells you the strand count; B and OC indicate the British standard and contour type. Understanding this code helps you match pitch and configuration to your drive.
Typical uses include food processing, cement, mining, and agriculture. You will find them on roller conveyors, bucket elevators, combine harvesters, seeders, and bottling equipment, as well as in flour mills, aggregate plants, and packaging lines. They handle dusty conditions and temperature swings, which makes them versatile across the industrial sector.
Selecting a roller chain requires the power to transmit, rotation speed, center distance, and environmental conditions. Proper installation means aligning sprockets precisely, setting correct tension, and lubricating regularly to reduce wear. Sealing and roller-to-plate clearance affect service life; in dirty settings, consider extra protection. The ISO/British Standard series with oval contour balances strength and flexibility.
Chains built to the same ISO/British Standard can be interchanged between manufacturers when pitch, width, and strand count match. When replacing a chain, check the original code and critical dimensions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies Diamond chains and can help you find the right equivalent. If you have a code from another brand, we can identify a compatible option.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the OC suffix mean in Diamond chains?
- OC stands for oval contour, a plate shape that distributes stress and improves fatigue resistance. It is part of the ISO/British Standard designation and appears alongside the pitch and strand count.
- How do I choose between a single or double strand chain?
- Strand count depends on the load and the space available. Double strand chains, such as those ending in -2, carry higher loads than single strand ones at the same pitch. Review the required power and contact us for help.
- Are Diamond chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
- Yes, if the sprockets meet the ISO/British Standard for the chain pitch. Interchangeability depends on pitch and width, not brand. If unsure, send us your sprocket measurements and we will advise.
