Cam followers in the MCGILL CCFD series are cylindrical roller bearings whose outer surface is crowned, so they can run straight against a cam, a guide track or a raceway. The design handles substantial radial loads and tilting moments, which makes it a common pick for drive mechanisms, cam systems and handling equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to plants and workshops across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.

Reading the CCFD code is straightforward once you know what the number refers to: it is the roller outside diameter in inches and fractions, not the bore. The progression runs through sizes such as CCFD 1 1/2, CCFD 1 1/4, CCFD 1 3/4, CCFD 1 3/8, CCFD 1 5/8, CCFD 1 7/8, CCFD 2 and CCFD 2 1/2. When sizing, match the number to the diameter of the cam or track it will run on, and check the shaft diameter at the mounting point.

Typical installations include drive cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging machines, cutting equipment and lifting systems. Because the crowned profile absorbs small misalignments between roller and track, wear on the assembly is reduced and the service life is extended. That behavior is what makes the series suitable for continuous production environments as well as heavy maintenance work.

Selection should start from the radial load and the moment the roller has to withstand, then the rotation speed and the surrounding conditions. Sealing matters: where dust, chips or moisture are present, a sealed version that keeps contaminants out is the better choice. Lubrication has to suit the duty cycle and be renewed accordingly. At mounting, check shaft alignment and set the roller correctly against the track so that unexpected side loads do not appear.

Cam followers from different manufacturers can be exchanged when outside diameter, bore diameter, width and sealing type all agree. A similar designation is not enough; the dimensions and the load capacity have to be compared. For a replacement, send the part number stamped on the old roller or its main dimensions, and we will help identify the equivalent within the MCGILL line we supply.
