The MCGILL CFE N B series is a cam follower built as a roller bearing with a threaded stud and a cylindrical outer roller. It transmits motion on cams or acts as a support roller in linear guides, handling radial loads in continuous rotation. The sealed construction suits demanding industrial use. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its bearings and power transmission range for customers in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps when specifying. CFE marks the cylindrical roller cam follower, N means the outer roller has a cylindrical profile rather than a crowned one, and B means the stud uses a metric thread. The figure between the letters, as in CFE 1/2 N B, gives the roller outside diameter in inches, so the series covers several sizes by that value.
Typical applications include machine tool cams, conveyor belt guiding systems, packaging equipment and automated production lines. The threaded stud mounts directly to the structure, which simplifies mechanism design and reduces mounting hardware. The integrated seal keeps contaminants out and lubricant in, a benefit in dusty or humid environments.
When selecting, check the roller outside diameter, the thread type and the radial load the follower must carry. Confirm correct alignment with the cam or guide during mounting to avoid side loads. Periodic lubrication remains important where the equipment runs in dirty or wet conditions.
MCGILL cam followers may interchange with other brands that follow the same dimensional nomenclature, such as the CFE series from other manufacturers. Interchangeability is not automatic, so compare outside diameter, stud diameter and thread pitch before replacing a component.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the CFE suffix mean in MCGILL cam followers?
- CFE identifies the cylindrical roller cam followers of the CAMROL line. N indicates a cylindrical profile, and B indicates a stud with metric thread. The middle number, such as 1/2, is the outside diameter in inches.
- How do I choose the right cam follower for my application?
- Consider the roller outside diameter, the stud thread type and the radial load it will withstand. Also check available space and environmental conditions to choose the right sealing. If you have doubts, contact us with the details of your mechanism.
- Are MCGILL cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
- They may be compatible with other brands that use the same dimensional nomenclature, but interchangeability is not automatic. Compare outside diameter, stud diameter and pitch before replacing a component.
