The MCGILL MCF SBX cam follower is a roller bearing built around a threaded stud, so it mounts straight onto a cam, a linear guide or a cam-and-roller mechanism. It suits reciprocating or positioning equipment that needs a low-friction raceway and a sturdy one. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you match the part number to your application.

Reading the code helps you order the right size. MCF is the metric cam follower family. The number after it, as in MCF 16 SBX or MCF 40 SBX, sets the roller size within the series. SBX marks a construction variant, generally tied to a sealing arrangement and a threaded stud configuration. Sizes run through MCF 16 SBX, MCF 19 SBX, MCF 22 SBX, MCF 26 SBX, MCF 30 SBX, MCF 32 SBX, MCF 35 SBX and MCF 40 SBX. Send the complete part number and we will confirm dimensions, load capacity or thread type.

Typical applications include actuating cams, roller guides, conveyors, packaging machinery, cutting and bending equipment, and any mechanism where a cam pushes or guides a part with controlled motion. The roller-and-stud design handles radial loads and mounts directly to plates or welded structures, which keeps the assembly simple.

Selection comes down to roller outside diameter, stud diameter and length, thread pitch and sealing type. The SBX variant normally carries seals that hold lubricant in and keep dust or chips out, which matters in dirty environments. During mounting, align the stud axis with the load direction and make sure the support surface is perpendicular. Use the correct lubrication and the internal clearance specified for the series. For shock loads or high speeds, contact us and we will advise.

Cam followers from different manufacturers can be swapped when the key dimensions line up: outside diameter, stud diameter and length, thread pitch and sealing type. A similar part number is not enough; geometry and load capacity still have to be checked, since tolerances and materials vary by brand. If you are replacing an existing follower, send a photo or the part number marked on the part and we will help you find the right option within the MCGILL line we supply.
