Mcgill 4160110000 Sealed Yoke Cam Follower 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The MCGILL 4160110000 is a sealed yoke-type cam follower designed for use in cam-and-follower mechanisms where a stud-mount configuration is not practical. It features a crowned roller profile that accommodates slight shaft misalignment and reduces edge loading under dynamic conditions. The needle roller bearing internals provide a high dynamic load capacity of 6,385 pounds within a compact envelope. The bore measures 0.5 inches and the roller diameter is 1.75 inches. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial equipment technicians are the primary installers of this component in production and processing machinery.

This cam follower is suited for linear and contour-tracking applications in automated equipment, conveyor systems, indexing mechanisms, and general industrial machinery. The crowned roller shape is particularly useful where slight angular deviation between the roller and the track surface occurs during operation. The sealed closure type protects internal needle rollers from contamination in environments where dust, chips, or moisture are present, reducing the need for frequent relubrication.

Key Features

• Crowned roller profile reduces edge loading and tolerates minor misalignment
• Needle roller bearing design delivers a dynamic load capacity of 6,385 pounds
• Sealed closure type protects against contamination for extended service life
• Steel roller and steel construction throughout for durability in industrial environments
• Maximum operating speed of 2,200 RPM
• Compact overall width of 1.0625 inches fits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement yoke cam follower for industrial machinery applications requiring a 0.5-inch bore, 1.75-inch roller diameter crowned needle roller design. McGill cross-reference part number CYR 1-3/4 S.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance mechanics. De-energize and lock out all power sources and relieve any mechanical tension before removing the existing follower. Ensure the yoke bore and mating shaft are clean and within tolerance before pressing or bolting the follower into position. Consult applicable machinery manufacturer documentation and relevant ANSI or OSHA machine-guarding standards during installation.
