The MCGILL MCF B cam follower is a stud-type roller bearing. It mounts to a structure with a threaded stud and a nut, while its cylindrical outer race rolls along a cam or guide surface. This design handles radial loads and transmits motion in cam mechanisms, offering a compact, rigid option where space is limited.
The part number follows a simple pattern. MCF stands for metric cam follower. The number that follows is the nominal outer diameter of the roller in millimeters. The final B identifies the version with a threaded stud and support roller. Common sizes include MCF 16 B, MCF 19 B, MCF 22 B, MCF 26 B, MCF 30 B, MCF 32 B, MCF 35 B and MCF 40 B. These cover outer diameters from 16 to 40 mm.
These cam followers appear in cam systems, conveyors, machine tools, packaging equipment and automated production lines. They are used in metalworking, food processing, cement and mining operations. Their construction allows them to take radial loads and tilting moments, which suits reciprocating motion or rolling on cam tracks.
When selecting a cam follower, consider the required outer diameter, the stud thread type and the sealing. The MCF B series typically includes lip seals to keep lubricant in and contaminants out. During installation, make sure the roller aligns correctly with the cam track and that lubrication is adequate, whether grease or oil is used. Tighten the lock nut to the recommended torque so vibration does not loosen it.
Metric cam followers from different brands can vary in stud dimensions, load capacity and sealing. When replacing a component, always check the complete part number and critical dimensions. The MCGILL MCF B series is a well-known reference, and we can advise on compatibility with other brands.
