environments
ACE plated chain is engineered and manufactured to deliver exceptional performance in harsh environments.
Because of the rough environment in harbours, straddle carriers require rust-resistant chain that offers both high strength and horsepower transmitting capacity, along with superior wear life Finding the right chain just got easier with the introduction of Diamond Chain's ACE (anticorrosion exterior) plated chain

Long life for self-lubricating chain
When the environment or location of a roller chain drive is such that regular lubrication is not possible or practical, Duralube self-lubricating chain can offer a long-lasting solution.
ACE is engineered and manufactured to deliver exceptional performance in harsh environments.
Salt spray and sprocket tests have shown that ACE plated chain lasts about two to four times longer than carbon steel chains.
ACET chain incorporates an electrochemically bonded, protective exterior coating that is applied to the component parts prior to assembly.
The protective coating, a specially formulated zinc-nickel alloy with a chromate conversion coating serves as an insulating barrier that preserves the physical and structural integrity of the carbon steel base chain.
Through-hardened pins give the chains a high working-load capacity and excellent resistance to fatigue in high load and pulsating type applications.
