Camrol bearings are the market leader, invented in 1937 by McGill. They offer the broadest selection of any manufacturer with over 1400 varieties and styles including standard, heavy duty, eccentric, corrosion resistant, and special duty bearings. Camrol bearings last significantly longer than competitors, up to 50 times longer, due to superior design features like induction hardened raceways, Lubri-Disc seals, and lubrication grooves. Camrol bearings can be used in a wide range of applications from automotive, printing, packaging, and food processing equipment to material handling, oil and gas, and more.

5. Camrol Lasts up to 50X Times Longer
– Significantly greater life than competing
brands, as confirmed in a variety of laboratory
and customer tests
– Superior design promotes longer life and aids
in lowering operating costs
Material & Heat Treatment
– Only utilize bearing quality steel
– Inner (stud) raceway induction heat treated for
a hardened raceway and ductile stem
Lubri-Disc® Seal
– Helps keep lubricant in and contamination out
– Prolongs lubrication intervals
– Reduces internal friction and eliminates metal
to metal contact at outer counter bore
Lubrication Groove
– Provides additional grease capacity
– Extends lubrication intervals

6. Crowned Outside Diameter
– Reduces corner loading
– Keeps load centered as stud deflects
– Helps compensate for misalignment
Hex Hole
– Provides better holding power four mounting
vs standard screwdriver slot
– Available in inch and metric series
– Recommended for eccentric bushing bearings
and blind hole mounting
Eccentric Bushing
– Bushing pressed onto unthreaded
stud diameter
– Allows for adjustment of bearing to
track or cam
– Compensates for improper
positioning of mounting holes
Camrol® Options

7. Other Camrol® Product Series
Trakrol
– Variation on standard cam follower
– Ball and tapered roller bearing construction
– Effectively sealed
– Cylindrical, flanged, V-groove OD options
– Stud and Yoke Style (inch dimensions only)
– Consider Trakrol for applications involving thrust
loads contamination, low precision demands:
Special Duty

o Maintenance free, lube for life, contamination
Black Oxide Coating
Helps protect external
surfaces from corrosion.
Synthetic Grease
Longer maintenance-
free life
Precision Needle Rollers with Retainer
Allows for larger lubricant reservoir
Lubri-Disc® Thrust
Washer
Increases life by reducing
internal friction, resulting
in lower operating
temperature
