The MCGILL MCYRD is a yoke-type cam follower: a roller bearing with a heavy outer ring that rides on a pin or shaft fixed to the machine frame, with no stud of its own. It runs against cams, guides and raceways, carrying radial load at moderate speed, and is often used as a support or thrust roller in reciprocating mechanisms.

Reading the code is straightforward. MCYRD is McGill's metric yoke roller line, and the figure after it is the bore in millimeters, meaning the pin it sits on: MCYRD 15 goes on a 15 mm pin, MCYRD 20 on a 20 mm pin. When you order, send the complete code together with the quantity you need.

Typical applications include cam tracks on machine tools, transfer systems, presses, packaging equipment and production lines, plus lifting equipment and other cam-driven arrangements. The roller handles rolling contact on curved surfaces and guidance duties on carriages and slides, and it is valued for its simple maintenance.

Selection comes down to four points: pin diameter, outer diameter, width and sealing type. Because the MCYRD is supported on both sides of the pin like a yoke, check that the pin and the cam are properly aligned so side loads do not appear. Match the lubricant to the operating temperature and speed, keep the seal in good condition against dust and chips, and confirm during mounting that the outer ring turns freely on its raceway.

Yoke rollers from other makers can be swapped in when the dimensional nomenclature agrees. Compare bore, outer diameter, width and sealing, and you have your match. Send MR the measurements of the part you have, or the code from the other brand, and the team will identify the equivalent MCYRD.
