Description
McGILL CCF 1/2 belongs to cam follower, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for CCF 1/2 and any equivalents.
A McGill CCF series cam follower is a stud-type roller bearing: the stud stays fixed while the outer raceway turns and carries the load. That makes it a practical choice for cams, guide tracks and running surfaces in reciprocating mechanisms, conveyors, machine tools and automated equipment, where a compact part that is quick to swap out matters.
The number in a CCF code refers to the roller's nominal outside diameter in inches, not to the stud. That is why CCF 1, CCF 1 1/8, CCF 1 1/4, CCF 1 3/8, CCF 1 1/2, CCF 1 5/8, CCF 1 3/4 and CCF 1 7/8 all appear in the series. When selecting, match that diameter to the cam or guide width and to the room you have in the housing.
Selection comes down to four things: outside diameter, roller width, stud type and how the stud is mounted. At installation, make sure the cam track is clean and free of burrs, set the stud so it lines up with the load direction, and set the clearance to suit the application.
Lubrication and sealing are what decide how long the cam follower lasts. In areas with dust, chips or moisture, a version with a radial shaft seal and long-life grease is the better choice. Sealed, lifetime-lubricated variants are also common in food processing, while general applications include chain and belt conveyors, packaging lines, presses, bending machines, woodworking equipment and automation systems.
Interchange between brands is settled by dimensions and roller type, not by the commercial code. A cam follower from another manufacturer can stand in for a McGill CCF series part when outside diameter, width, stud diameter and length, track radius and sealing type all line up. If you are unsure, send the old part number or the measurements to MR Industrial Accessories on WhatsApp and we will confirm the matching option.
MR Industrial Accessories supplies these cam followers to plants and workshops throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries. Send the CCF part number you need by WhatsApp or email and the team will get back to you promptly with a quote, suggest equivalents and help you choose the right variant.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the McGill cam follower I need?
- The CCF code carries the nominal outside diameter in inches, for example CCF 1 1/2. Measure the roller, the width and the stud, or send us the code marked on the part, and we will confirm the variant.
- Can it be replaced by a cam follower from another brand?
- Yes, as long as the main dimensions match: outside diameter, roller width, stud diameter and length, track radius and sealing type. Interchangeability is defined by measurements, not by each manufacturer's commercial code.
- What should I check before mounting it?
- Check that the cam or guide is clean and free of wear, align the stud with the load and tighten the mounting without forcing it. Check the sealing and lubrication, especially in environments with dust, chips or moisture.
