Industry Leader...
In 1937, McGILL engineers invented the first needle bearing cam follower.
Since that time, McGILL has maintained its leading position through the
continuous development of new features and improvements to the product
line.
This brochure captures some of the ways that McGILL bearings are differenti-
ated to provide more value to our customers:

Outstanding Performance CAMROL Series
CAMROL bearings outlast the competition in a variety of laboratory and
customer tests. Although others have tried to copy the outward appearance
of CAMROL bearings, many customers have found vast differences
in performance. It is no wonder that so many customers specify
CAMROL bearings from McGill no substitutions.

Heavy-Sectioned Outer Race

operation.

Lubrication Groove
All inch dimension CAMROL bearings with seals
have a lubrication groove which helps extend the
bearing life. This extra lubrication reservoir
helps prolong lubrication intervals and increases
the prelubricated life of the bearing.

Black Oxide Finish

This feature extends life by helping inhibit
corrosion. CAMROL bearings are protected
by black oxide finish on all external surfaces
unmatched by most competitors.

Excellent Quality Materials

Only bearing quality steel is used in CAMROL
bearings to help ensure long life. Although other
steels may be less expensive to use, McGill only
uses high-quality specialty steel to provide
customers with the performance and endurance
they have come to expect from CAMROL bearings.

Specialized Heat Treatment

All raceways are heat treated to a minimum
of 58 HRC. Inner studs are induction heat
treated to McGills specifications to provide
a hardened raceway and a ductile stem that
provides toughness for absorbing the
shocks of cam follower operations.

The LUBRI-DISC Seal

Invented by McGill, the LUBRI-DISC
seal has been shown to reduce costs by pro-
longing bearing life. The seal helps
extend bearing life in three ways:

1. Labyrinth and contact sealing

protect against loss of lubricant and
help prevent entrance of contaminants.

2. Vents help prevent seal blow-out

during relubrication.

3. Integral backplate design reduces

internal friction by eliminating metal-
on-metal contact. Less friction lowers
the operating temperature
which extends grease
life and allows for
higher operating
speeds.

Precision Geometries
The threads on all inch CAMROL bearing
studs meet class 2 tolerances and metric
CAMROL bearing stud threads meet class
6G tolerances. These precise geometries
help ensure better holding power.

Precision Manufacturing
Because there are no industry-wide standards for tolerances on
cam follower bearings, McGill has set its own demanding toler-
ances for CAMROL bearings. McGill uses Statistical Process
Control (SPC) to help ensure CAMROL bearings are manufac-
tured according to these exacting standards. While others have
tried to imitate the McGill design, only McGill has the precision
and performance that leads the industry.

Quality Certified Manufacturing

McGill was one of the first bearing manufacturers to receive
International Standards Organization certification. The coveted
ISO 9001 certification, and the process it encompasses, help
ensure that McGill bearings are designed and manufactured to
uniform quality standards and the precise specifications of our
customers.
