The McGill CYRD is a cam follower built to roll directly along cams, guides and raceways. It handles combined loads, which makes it a common choice in reciprocating mechanisms and conveying equipment. The line covers a range of roller outside diameters so you can match different shaft and mounting arrangements.
The CYRD code belongs to the McGill CAMROL family. The letters describe a stud-type mounting with a supported roller, while the figure that follows gives the roller outside diameter in inches. That is how the series runs from CYRD 1 1/2 and CYRD 1 1/4 through CYRD 2 1/2, with intermediate references such as CYRD 1 3/4 and CYRD 2 in between. Reading the code tells you both the roller size and how it mounts.
Typical installations include machine tool cams, linear guides, chain conveyors, presses and packaging machinery, wherever a roller must carry a substantial radial load along a raceway with controlled wear. Mounting can be done on shafts or plates depending on the stud configuration.
Choosing a size starts with the outside diameter your cam or guide requires, then the stud type and the space available. Correct alignment between roller and raceway matters, since misalignment introduces side loads. Lubrication should suit the speed and temperature of the application, and sealing keeps contaminants out. In very dirty environments, it is worth reviewing the protection options.
Different manufacturers use different designations for cam followers, and cross-brand substitutions are rarely one-to-one. When replacing a CYRD with another make, compare outside diameter, width, stud type and load capacity. We can advise on interchangeability and locate the McGill reference that suits your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number in a CYRD part number indicate?
- It gives the roller outside diameter in inches, so CYRD 1 1/2 is a 1 1/2 inch roller. The CYRD letters identify the follower configuration within the McGill CAMROL line.
- How do I pick the right size in the CYRD series?
- Start with the diameter of the cam or guide the roller will run on and the mounting space. Then confirm the stud type and the radial load. If anything is unclear, send us your equipment measurements and we will help you select the part number.
- What should I watch for when mounting a cam follower?
- Align the roller with the raceway to prevent side loads. Lubricate according to speed and temperature, and protect the bearing from contaminants with suitable sealing. Careful mounting helps extend service life.
