The MCGILL MCFD series cam follower is a roller bearing built to run directly against cams, guides and raceways. Its construction lets it take high radial loads and shock forces in reciprocating mechanisms, which is why it shows up in equipment where precise, durable rolling contact matters. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies it as part of its bearing line for plants and maintenance teams.
Reading the code is the first step in selection. MCFD marks the McGill cam follower family, and the digits after it set the roller size inside that family. That is how MCFD 35, MCFD 40, MCFD 47, MCFD 52, MCFD 62, MCFD 72, MCFD 80 and MCFD 90 all sit in the same catalog while each one corresponds to a different outer diameter. Give us the complete code from the drawing or from the part you are replacing.
You will find these followers on drive cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging machines, material handling equipment and lifting systems. They also work in indexing devices and in opening and closing mechanisms that depend on reliable rolling contact. The roller turns on a raceway and has to handle lateral thrust at the same time.
When you select a follower, check the outer diameter, roller width, stud or pin type and mounting method. The MCFD series mounts on a shaft or pin, with the cam raceway acting as the rolling surface. Confirm alignment between roller and raceway, axial clearance and lubrication. A proper grease layer plus a seal that holds the lubricant in place helps the part last. In dusty or damp areas, go with the sealed variant that fits the conditions.
McGill cam followers can be replaced by equivalent products from other brands when the main dimensions line up: outer diameter, width, pin diameter and fastening type. A similar series number is not enough, since geometry and internal bearing type also have to match. Send us the original code and we cross-reference it and confirm the equivalence before quoting.
If you need an MCGILL MCFD series cam follower, send the full code by WhatsApp along with a photo or the part drawing. Our team reviews the request and replies promptly with the option that fits your equipment, and can also advise you on a variant of the same series that is not listed.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number after MCFD indicate?
- It indicates the roller size within the MCFD series. Each code, from MCFD 35 to MCFD 90, corresponds to a different outer diameter. Compare the code on the part or the drawing measurement against the series list to identify the right one.
- How can I tell whether a cam follower from another brand is equivalent?
- Compare outer diameter, roller width, pin diameter and type, and fastening method. If those values match, the replacement works. Send us the measurements or the original code by WhatsApp and we verify equivalence before quoting.
- What lubrication should a cam follower use?
- It depends on the operating conditions and the environment. In general, a medium-consistency grease is applied so it reaches the raceway. Good sealing keeps the lubricant in and contaminants out. Contact us for the sealed variant that suits your equipment.
