When a cam, track or guide serves as the running surface, the MCGILL FCFE series cam follower provides a roller bearing solution that handles radial loads with low friction. These bearings are common in actuating linkages, conveyor lines and other machinery that depends on steady, accurate contact. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you match the right size to your equipment.

The FCFE code denotes MCGILL special cam followers. The figures after it give the outside diameter in inches and fractions, so a FCFE 2 1/2 has a 2 1/2 inch outside diameter, while FCFE 1 1/2 and FCFE 3 follow the same pattern. Reading the code this way makes it straightforward to pick a size that fits your mechanism. The FCFE line is built with a roller and sealing arrangement intended for sealed applications.

Typical installations include machine tool cams, engine cam systems, roller conveyors, bottling lines and food processing equipment. They also show up in presses, punching machines and lifting mechanisms. Because the bearing can take radial loads and moments, it works well where the cam itself acts as the raceway.

Selection depends on the outside diameter, the width and the sealing type. FCFE cam followers generally include seals that keep lubricant in and contaminants out. Confirm alignment with the raceway and set the correct internal clearance. The bearing mounts on a shaft or stud, so the rolling surface should be ground and lubricated. Proper lubrication helps the bearing reach its expected service life.
