For cam tracks, linear guides and raceways, the MCGILL MCF series cam follower provides a rolling element that mounts on a shaft or stud and handles radial loads along with shock. It suits drive mechanisms, conveyors and guiding systems that call for accurate, repeatable rolling. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers in the United States and Latin America.

Reading an MCF part number is straightforward once you know the pattern. The letters MCF mark the metric cam follower family. The digits that follow, as in MCF 22A B, MCF 26A B or MCF 40A B, set the roller size. The A and B suffixes denote execution variants, covering details such as sealing arrangement or head shape. When selecting, work from the full part number and the dimensions on the machine drawing.

Typical installation points include machine tool cams, conveyor guides, lifting and positioning systems, and valve or gate drive mechanisms. Packaging lines, food processing plants, road equipment and agricultural machinery all rely on this type of follower. Cutting and bending devices use them as well, since rolling on a cam demands low friction and high repeatability. The construction tolerates dusty or chip-laden environments and permanent lubrication.

Selection starts with the outer diameter, the width and the stud type, plus the permissible radial and axial load. Sealing matters: a variant with a radial shaft seal keeps contaminants out and supports longer service. Lubrication must be appropriate and renewed according to the duty cycle. At mounting, verify shaft alignment and perpendicularity to the raceway, because poor fitting leads to premature wear. Use the mounting tolerances recommended by the manufacturer.

Interchange between brands is possible when the main dimensions, roller type and load capacity align. A similar part number alone is not sufficient. Compare outer diameter, width, stud diameter and length, and the lubrication system. Regional equivalents may describe the same concept, but confirming the technical specifications is the safe route. MR Industrial Accessories can assist with that comparison.

Frequently asked questions

What does MCF mean in MCGILL cam followers?
MCF designates the metric cam follower line. The following number indicates size, and the A and B suffixes identify execution variants such as sealing or head type. For a specific part number, consult the full designation.
How do I choose the right cam follower for my machine?
Consider outer diameter, width, stud type and the radial and axial loads. If dust or chips are present, choose a sealed variant. Alignment and lubrication strongly affect performance.
Can I replace a cam follower from another brand with an MCGILL one?
Yes, when the main dimensions, roller type and load capacity match. Do not rely on the part number alone: compare outer diameter, width, stud and lubrication. Send us the original part number and we will help find the equivalent.
