Types of McGill Bearings

McGill makes many different types of bearings, each suited for different applications across different industries. One specific type they manufacture is the McGill cam follower bearings. Also called "track followers," these bearing types are designed to follow tracks or cams within a vast range of linear motion systems.

McGill also makes needle roller bearings. McGill needle roller bearings are bearings that use small cylindrical rollers. These rollers are used to reduce the friction on a rotating surface, and have a large surface area that stays in contact with the bearing raceway journals. There are many different types of needle roller bearings, including caged roller, thrust roller, drawn cup, and precision race.

Another popular bearing type they manufacture is McGill spherical roller bearings. Spherical roller bearings are engineered to work in applications that sometimes involve severe misalignment, and with relatively heavy radial loads and some axial loads in either direction. 

McGill spherical roller bearings are often used in agricultural applications and machinery such as combined harvesting machines, air blowers, paper machines, textile equipment, woodworking machinery, and more.
