A McGill CF N S series cam follower is a roller bearing built to track a cam profile or motion guide. It handles radial loads and keeps the roller in steady contact with the track, which suits actuating mechanisms, conveying systems and equipment with cam or reciprocating motion. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this brand to customers in the United States and Latin America.
The code breaks down into three parts. CF stands for cam follower, N tells you the outer roller is cylindrical, and S means the roller is sealed on the sides. The number between CF and N is the outer diameter in inches, so CF 1/2 N S is a 1/2" roller and CF 5/8 N S is a 5/8" roller. Reading the code this way lets you confirm size and features at a glance.
Typical jobs for these followers include actuating cams, linear guides, roller conveyors, packaging machines, printing equipment and cutting systems. They also show up on production lines, machine tools and transfer mechanisms where a support roller has to take repeated loads and hold motion accuracy.
When you pick a follower, look at outer diameter, roller width, sealing type and internal clearance. The S seal helps keep contaminants out, which is useful in dusty or damp areas. Mount it on a flat, perpendicular support surface and lubricate it to match speed and load. Good alignment avoids early wear.
McGill cam followers can be replaced by equivalent products from other makers that use the same dimensional nomenclature. To confirm compatibility, check the critical dimensions and operating conditions before ordering. If you are replacing an existing bearing, send us the part number or the dimensions of the original part and we can help.
