Diamond Series B roller chains are power transmission components used to link gears and transmit motion between parallel shafts. They are identified by their pitch and number of strands, and are used in a wide variety of industrial machines. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the right chain for your application.
The designation of these chains follows the ISO/British Standard. The first number indicates the pitch: 05B, 06B, 08B and 10B are among the most common. The suffix after the hyphen indicates the number of strands: 1 for single, 2 for double, 3 for triple. For example, 08B-1 is a single-strand 08B pitch chain, while 08B-2 is double and 08B-3 is triple. This nomenclature lets you quickly identify the configuration you need.
In Argentine industry, these chains are used in a wide variety of equipment: from conveyors and elevators to machine tools, packaging equipment, and the food, textile and metalworking industries. Their robust design makes them suitable for demanding environments, with good fatigue and wear resistance. They are commonly found in production lines that require precise synchronization and transmission of considerable forces.
To select the right chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the center distance and the environmental conditions. Lubrication is key: choose the right lubricant and make sure it is applied regularly. Check sprocket alignment and chain tension; a misaligned installation accelerates wear. If the environment has dust or moisture, consider additional protection. Assembly must be done with the appropriate tools so as not to damage the rollers.
Standard ISO/British roller chains are interchangeable between different brands that follow the same standard. If you need to replace an existing chain, you can do so with another of the same pitch and number of strands, checking that the sprockets are compatible. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the Diamond brand and can quote you the exact reference you need. If you have any doubts, send us the code or the measurements on WhatsApp and we will tell you the corresponding option.
To move forward with your inquiry, we only need you to send us the chain code (for example, 08B-2) or the characteristics of your equipment on WhatsApp. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote you promptly and help you solve your machine's transmission. More than 80 years of experience in the industrial sector back us up.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the suffix -1, -2, -3 mean in a series B chain?
- The suffix indicates the number of strands: -1 is single, -2 is double and -3 is triple. For example, 10B-2 is a 10B pitch chain with two strands. This configuration affects the power transmission capacity and the overall width of the chain.
- How do I know what chain pitch I need for my machine?
- The pitch is determined by the existing sprockets. Measure the center distance between two consecutive rollers or check your equipment's manual. If you are not sure, send us a photo or the measurements on WhatsApp and we will help you identify it.
- Are Diamond chains compatible with other brands?
- Yes, roller chains that comply with the ISO/British Standard are interchangeable between brands. Always check that the pitch and number of strands match. If you have the code from another brand, we can quote you the Diamond equivalent.
