Cam followers in the MCGILL BCCYR S line are cylindrical roller bearings built around a heavy outer bushing, which lets them carry significant radial load when they run directly against a cam, guide or raceway. The series covers inch sizes such as BCCYR 1 S, BCCYR 1 1/4 S and BCCYR 1 1/2 S, and MR Industrial Accessories supplies it to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the designation helps you order without extra lookup tables. BCCYR marks the family that uses the CAMROL bushing, the trailing S tells you the bearing is sealed, and the figure in between is the outside diameter in inches. So the code itself already states the size and the sealing arrangement.
You will find these followers on actuating cams, conveyors, machine tools, presses and packaging lines, in sectors ranging from metalworking to food, cement and automotive. Because they mount straight onto a shaft or pin, they suit tight spaces where a stiff bearing has to absorb radial load together with tilting moments.
Selection comes down to three things: the outside diameter your cam or raceway calls for, how the follower is fixed to the shaft, and the conditions on the floor. Where dust, moisture or splashes are present, the sealed version is the sensible pick, since the seal keeps lubricant in and contamination out of the raceway. At assembly, check shaft alignment and handle the outer bushing carefully, as impacts can mark it. Fit and lubrication decide how the follower performs over time.
Interchange deserves a second look. Followers from different makers can share the same envelope yet differ in dimensions and load capacity, so verify compatibility before you swap one out. Compare the specification of the bearing being removed with the one going in, and we can help you weigh the options.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the S at the end of BCCYR S indicate?
- It means the cam follower is sealed. The seal holds lubricant in place and keeps contaminants out, which matters in dusty or damp locations. Send us the part number if you want the exact configuration confirmed.
- How is the size shown in the part number?
- The number between BCCYR and S is the outside diameter in inches, so BCCYR 1 1/4 S has a 1 1/4 inch outer diameter. Match that against your cam or raceway and the radial load, or send us your measurements and we will advise.
- Can I replace a MCGILL follower with another brand?
- Not automatically. Key dimensions may line up while load capacity and materials differ from one maker to the next. Check the specifications side by side first, and we can help you assess a suitable equivalent.
