Service Bulletin: SB 082.1
Subject: Cam Follower
Recommendations:
It is strongly recommended that only cam followers manufactured by the McGill company be used in PMC-machinery. The materials used by McGill provide the maximum load rating for any size follower as compared to other suppliers. Cam followers from such firms as Orange or Torrington have load ratings ten to fifty percent less than McGill, see the comparison chart:

MC GILL NO. | ORANGE | TORRINGTON | ||
DYNAMIC | STATIC | DYNAMIC | STATIC | |
CF-1-1/4 B | 83 | 59 | 74 | 54 |
CF-1-1/2 B | 86 | 69 | 70 | 64 |
