The MCGILL MCYRD X series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to run on cams, raceways and linear guides. Its robust construction withstands high radial loads and tilting moments, which is why it is used in reciprocating motion mechanisms and conveying systems. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line for production plants, maintenance workshops and machinery manufacturers that need a reliable component for their equipment.
The MCYRD X series designation is read in parts: the letters MC identify the McGill cam follower family, the Y indicates the profile type and the D corresponds to the sealing variant. The number that follows —15, 17, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 or 45— indicates the roller outside diameter in millimeters. The final X distinguishes the cylindrical crown version. Thus, an MCYRD 30 X has a 30 mm outside diameter, while an MCYRD 45 X reaches 45 mm. Knowing this logic allows you to quickly identify the correct replacement.
These followers are used in actuating cams, chain and belt guides, lifting systems, packaging machines, printing equipment and conveyor lines. In Argentine industry they appear in food, automotive, metallurgical and plastics plants, where precise motion and wear resistance are critical. They are also found in overhead cranes, presses and indexing mechanisms that demand reliable rolling under variable loads.
To select the right follower, take into account the outside diameter your application needs, the type of sealing required according to the environment (dust, moisture, chips) and the intended lubrication. Mounting must ensure correct alignment with the cam track to avoid side loads. The MCYRD X series supports permanent lubrication or relubrication depending on use. Check the internal clearance and shaft fastening to ensure smooth, long-lasting operation.
McGill cam followers are interchangeable with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional nomenclature. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to compare the outside diameter, roller width and type of sealing, since small differences can affect mounting. If you cannot find the exact reference, the complete part number —for example MCYRD 25 X— is the best guide to identify the part. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on the appropriate equivalent.
