The MCGILL MCYRD series cam follower is a yoke-type roller: a roller bearing with a thick outer ring that mounts on a machine pin or shaft, without its own stud. It rolls directly on cams, guides or raceways and works under radial load and moderate speed, as a support or thrust roller in reciprocating motion mechanisms. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in bearings and power transmission.
The MCYRD designation identifies McGill's metric series of yoke-type rollers. The numbers that follow indicate the bore diameter in millimeters, that is, the diameter of the pin on which it is mounted: for example, MCYRD 15 fits a 15 mm pin and MCYRD 20 fits a 20 mm one. The order is completed with the full code and the quantity.
These cam followers are used on machine tool cams, transfer systems, presses, packaging equipment and production lines. In Argentina they appear in the automotive, metalworking, food and plastics industries, where they perform rolling on curved surfaces or guiding functions on carriages and slides. They are also found in lifting equipment and cam-driven mechanisms that require a robust component with simple maintenance.
To select the right roller, you must take into account the pin diameter, the outer diameter, the width and the type of sealing. The MCYRD mounts on a pin fixed to the structure, supported on both sides as in a yoke; it is important to check the alignment between the pin and the cam to avoid side loads. Lubrication must be suitable for the working temperature and speed, and the sealing protects against dust and chips. During mounting, make sure the outer ring rotates freely on the raceway.
McGill yoke-type rollers are interchangeable with those of other brands with the same dimensional nomenclature: you must compare bore diameter, outer diameter, width and sealing. With the actual measurements of the part or the code of another brand, MR Accesorios Industriales tells you the equivalent MCYRD.

- How do I choose the right cam follower for my machine?
- Take into account the pin diameter, the outer diameter and the width of the roller, and the type of sealing. Also the radial load and the working speed. With that data, MR helps you select the corresponding MCYRD code.
- Are MCGILL cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
- They are interchangeable if the main measurements match: bore diameter, outer diameter, width and sealing. Compare the actual dimensions and, if you have the part at hand, send us a photo with its measurements.
