The MCGILL MCF SB cam follower is a roller bearing with a threaded stud, mounted directly onto a cam or linear guide. It works as a support roller in mechanisms that carry radial loads and need high rigidity under reciprocating or rolling motion. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries, and can help you confirm the right part number for your equipment.
The MCF SB code tells you what you are holding. MCF is the metric cam follower family; SB marks the variant with integrated sealing. The number in examples such as MCF 16 SB or MCF 40 SB gives the roller outer diameter in millimeters, so a higher number means a larger diameter and load capacity. To confirm the exact designation on your machine, send us the complete part number.
Typical applications include drive cams, machine tool guides, conveyors, presses and other reciprocating systems. The threaded stud fastens with a nut onto a plate or bracket, which simplifies mechanism design. The SB variant carries seals that retain lubricant and block contaminants, making it suitable for environments with dust or chips. Mounting calls for a support surface that is flat and perpendicular to the stud axis, plus careful alignment to avoid side loads. Periodic lubrication with quality grease extends bearing service life.
Selection depends on outer diameter, stud thread and sealing type. MCGILL cam followers can be exchanged with other brands of metric support rollers with a threaded stud when dimensions, thread and load capacity match. When requesting a quote, compare the complete designation and verify functional equivalence.
For a cam follower replacement, message us on WhatsApp or by email with the part number or the roller dimensions. The team replies promptly and can suggest equivalents, including variants with or without sealing, and help you choose the right follower.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the SB suffix mean in MCF followers?
- SB identifies the variant with integrated sealing within the MCF series. These seals retain grease and protect the bearing against dust, chips and moisture. If your application is clean, ask about other variants of the same series.
- How do I choose the correct cam follower size?
- The number after MCF indicates the roller outer diameter in millimeters. Match that size to the housing or cam on your machine, and check the stud thread. If you are unsure, send us the dimensions or the original part number and we will help you define the replacement.
- Are MCGILL followers interchangeable with other brands?
- In general, they can be exchanged with other metric support rollers with a threaded stud when outer diameter, thread, width and load capacity match. A similar part number is not enough; dimensions and performance must be compared. Ask us about the equivalence of your part number.
