The MCGILL MCYR series is a metric line of cam followers: roller bearings whose outer profile is shaped for rolling contact along cams, tracks and machine guides. They work as support rollers in reciprocating mechanisms and in conveying equipment, where loads are radial and speeds stay moderate. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this metric line from McGill within its bearings and power transmission range.
In the MCYR code, the letters identify McGill's metric cam follower family, while the figure after them sets the size. MCYR 5, MCYR 6, MCYR 8, MCYR 10, MCYR 12, MCYR 15, MCYR 17 and MCYR 20, for instance, step up through progressively larger diameters. Suffixes that sometimes follow the number point to sealing options, stud style or mounting arrangement, and they are read against the manufacturer's catalog. Before ordering, keep the stud diameter and the roller width at hand so the part number can be confirmed.
Typical installations include cams on machine tools, linear guides in machining centers, chain conveyors, presses, packaging machinery and cam-driven systems in general. Food processing and automotive plants also rely on them wherever a sturdy support roller with low friction is needed. MR Industrial Accessories serves workshops, factories and maintenance departments across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
Selection comes down to the radial load to be carried, the rotation speed and the working environment. Sealing deserves attention: where dust or moisture is present, a sealed variant keeps the lubricant in place. During mounting, the stud has to be aligned with the cam track and axial play checked. Re-greasing at intervals with a quality grease supports a long service life. On applications with shock loads, verify how rigid the support is.
MCGILL MCYR cam followers can be replaced by equivalent products from other manufacturers when the key dimensions line up: outer diameter, width, and stud diameter and length. That interchange is never automatic, since tolerances and load capacity still have to be checked. Our team can point you to options that correspond. Send the complete part number and we will advise you.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the suffix on a McGill MCYR cam follower indicate?
- MCYR designates McGill's metric cam follower line, and the number after it gives the roller size. Suffixes can refer to sealing options or to the configuration. Send us the complete model and we will help you interpret it.
- How do I pick the right cam follower for my machine?
- Look at the radial load, the speed, the environment and the mounting space. Sealing and lubrication matter a great deal. If you share the stud and roller dimensions, we will guide you to the MCYR variant that fits best.
- Can MCYR followers be swapped for other brands?
- They can when the main dimensions and load capacity match. It is not automatic, because tolerances and stud type must be verified. Give us the original part number and we will help you find the equivalent.
