The Diamond BSS series roller chain is a stainless steel transmission chain, manufactured to ISO/British Standard. It is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts in equipment where humidity, frequent washdowns or chemical agents degrade a carbon steel chain. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in sizes 06BSS, 08BSS, 10BSS, 12BSS and 16BSS, and quotes it by WhatsApp with the part number you need.

The designation of these chains combines the pitch number with the letters BSS. The initial number indicates the pitch size according to the British standard: 06, 08, 10, 12 and 16 are the most common pitches in the series. The letters BSS identify the stainless steel construction within Diamond's Sapphire line. Thus, 08BSS and 12BSS share the same chain type, but with a different pitch. To order it, send the full part number, for example 10BSS, and we'll quote it.

These chains are chosen in food and beverage plants, industrial washdown areas, water treatment, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and in any equipment that is washed with water or works outdoors. In Argentina we see them in bottle conveyors, washing tunnels, packaging machines and drag systems in meat processing plants. Stainless steel prevents the oxidation that would appear in a carbon steel chain and keeps the drive running in wet conditions.

To select the chain, start from the pitch required by the sprocket and verify that the number of strands and the width match the sprocket. Check shaft alignment: misalignment accelerates wear on plates and rollers. Lubrication must be compatible with stainless steel and with the environment; in washdown areas a water-resistant grease is advisable. Also check tension: a chain that is too tight loads the bearings and one that is too loose jumps off the sprocket. If the equipment runs at high temperatures, let us know and we'll tell you the right variant.

Diamond BSS chains follow the ISO/British Standard, so their pitch and roller dimensions match those of other brands that manufacture under the same standard. This allows replacing a worn chain with another of the same designation without modifying the sprockets. If you have a chain without identification, send us a photo and the pitch, width and roller measurements: we'll tell you the compatible equivalent.

MR Accesorios Industriales sells the Diamond line and quotes the BSS chain you need. Send the full part number by WhatsApp, for example 06BSS or 16BSS, and we'll reply shortly with the quote. If the equipment requires a variant in pitch, width or material, write to us with the model and we'll sort it out.
