A McGill CF N series cam follower is a roller bearing with a cylindrical outer surface that runs directly against cams, raceways, or linear guides. It attaches through a threaded stud, so it handles radial loads and shock without needing a separate shaft. You will find it in drive mechanisms, conveyors, and similar equipment that calls for a sturdy, low-friction support roller.

Reading the code helps when you order or cross-reference. CF marks the inch-series cam follower family. The number after it gives the nominal outside diameter in inches, and the trailing N is a construction variant. So in CF 1/2 N and CF 5/8 N, the 1/2 or 5/8 is that outside size. If you are unsure about the suffix on your part, our technical team can confirm the exact configuration.

These followers show up in machine tool cams, transfer systems, conveyor belt guides, packaging equipment, and lifting mechanisms. They also work in presses, bending machines, and automation devices where a support roller must resist wear and keep motion precise. The sealed design suits areas with dust, chips, or permanent lubrication.

Selection comes down to outside diameter, roller width, stud type, and sealing. CF N series followers typically have lip seals that hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out. Mount on a flat support surface perpendicular to the shaft, and tighten to the recommended torque so the stud does not loosen. Aligning the roller with the cam track extends service life and prevents unwanted axial loads.

McGill cam followers interchange with other brands that use the inch nomenclature, as long as dimensions, roller type, and sealing match. When you request a quote, compare the full designation and the service conditions. A technical equivalent can be offered on request.
