The MCGILL CYR Bearing Series represents a comprehensive line of high-performance cam followers and yoke rollers engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial and automotive applications. These components are designed with precision-ground outer rings and crowned outer diameters, ensuring optimal load distribution and reduced edge stress under heavy or misaligned conditions. The series includes both stud-type and yoke-type configurations, available in standard, heavy-duty, and eccentric designs to accommodate a wide range of mounting and operational requirements.

Constructed from premium case-carburized steel, CYR bearings undergo advanced heat treatment processes to achieve exceptional surface hardness and core toughness, significantly enhancing wear resistance and fatigue life. The integral seals provide robust protection against contaminants such as dust, debris, and moisture, while retaining lubrication for extended service intervals. These bearings are pre-lubricated with high-temperature grease, suitable for operating environments ranging from -30°C to 120°C, and are capable of handling dynamic loads up to 15,000 N and speeds exceeding 2,000 RPM.

Performance advantages of the CYR series include reduced friction, smooth operation, and minimal maintenance needs, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and increased machinery uptime. Their precision engineering ensures consistent performance in applications involving oscillating or rotating motions, with excellent resistance to shock loads and vibrations. The series is also available in stainless steel variants for corrosive environments, further expanding its applicability.

Typical applications span across industrial machinery, including packaging equipment, conveyor systems, printing presses, and material handling devices, where cam followers are critical for motion control and load support. In automotive systems, they are employed in throttle linkages, steering mechanisms, and transmission assemblies, providing reliable performance under high cyclic stresses. Precision equipment such as robotics, medical devices, and aerospace actuators also benefit from the series’ accuracy and durability, ensuring long-term reliability in critical operations.
