Cam followers in the McGill MCF SX line are roller bearings built to run directly against cams, raceways, and linear guides. They handle combined loads and suit motion that must repeat accurately. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series within its range of bearings and power transmission components.
Reading the MCF …A SX code helps when you order. MCF marks the McGill CAMROL metric cam follower family. The digits that follow—22, 26, 40, 47, 52, 62, 72—give the roller outside diameter in millimeters. The A stands for a design variant, often tied to sealing or stud configuration. SX points to a special execution, such as a coating or surface treatment. So MCF 40A SX has a 40 mm outside diameter roller.
These followers appear in automotive, metalworking, food, and packaging operations, among others. Typical locations include machine tools, cam systems for valve actuation, conveyors, bottling equipment, and mechanisms that turn rotary motion into reciprocating motion with precision and durability.
Selection depends on outside diameter, roller width, stud type (threaded or plain), and sealing. MCF SX followers generally use lip seals that keep lubricant in and contaminants out, which supports service life in harsh settings. Correct alignment with the cam track and proper lubrication—grease or oil as the application requires—are essential at mounting.
For equivalences, McGill MCF followers can be interchanged with other brands using the same metric nomenclature, such as INA, SKF, or NTN, when main dimensions and sealing type match. Always verify the full part number and technical data before replacing a component to confirm compatibility and performance.
