The CFH S series from McGill provides a dependable rolling element for mechanisms that track a cam profile or linear guide. These units handle radial loads in reciprocating equipment, conveyors, and drive systems operating at moderate speeds. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series to customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America, and can assist with selecting the correct part number.

McGill identifies this family with the CFH prefix. The digits that follow specify the roller outside diameter in inches—for example, CFH 1 S, CFH 1 1/4 S, or CFH 1 1/2 S. The trailing S denotes a particular construction within the series, often related to sealing or stud design. Checking the manufacturer's data sheet or contacting us with the exact model is the best way to confirm the meaning of each code.

Typical installations include cam actuators, linear guides, chain conveyors, packaging machinery, and positioning systems. These followers also appear in machine tools, lifting equipment, and automation where accurate tracking is essential. Their sturdy build suits radial loads and moderate speeds, and they can be mounted on a shaft or stud.

To select a follower, start with the required outside diameter for your track. Then consider the sealing needed for the operating environment—dust, chips, or moisture—and the internal clearance appropriate for the working temperature. Alignment between the roller and cam track must be precise to avoid premature wear. Follow the manufacturer's lubrication recommendations and adjust the interval based on duty cycle. For applications with impact loads, evaluate a higher-capacity variant.

McGill cam followers are generally interchangeable with other brands using the same inch-based nomenclature, such as CR, CYR, or similar series. However, sealing, stud material, and outside diameter tolerance may differ. Before substituting, compare critical dimensions and mounting type. If uncertain, send the original part number and we will help identify an equivalent.
