MCGILL MCFE S cam followers are roller bearings built to run directly against cams, raceways, or linear guides. They handle radial loads and some axial load, making them suitable for reciprocating or cam-driven motion in industrial equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series as part of its power transmission bearing range.
The part number breaks down easily. MCFE identifies the McGill CAMROL metric cam follower family. The number that follows gives the outside diameter in millimeters—MCFE 16 S has a 16 mm outside diameter, MCFE 22 S has 22 mm, and so on. The S at the end means the bearing is sealed, which keeps contaminants out and helps hold lubricant in. This coding lets you match the follower to the space and load in your application.
These cam followers appear in many industrial settings. You will find them on machine tool cams, conveyor guide systems, packaging machinery, textile equipment, presses, and automation devices. They are also used in automotive assembly lines and reciprocating equipment. Their construction supports high radial loads and some axial load, so they work well where precise, lasting rolling contact is needed.
When selecting an MCFE S follower, consider the required outside diameter, the load type (mainly radial), the speed, and the operating environment. The S seal is a good choice where dust, moisture, or splashes are present, because it retains grease and blocks internal contamination. During installation, check alignment with the cam track and confirm the roller turns freely. Proper lubrication with quality grease helps extend service life. For combined loads, evaluate whether additional support rollers are needed.
For equivalents, McGill MCFE S metric cam followers can be compared with other brands that use the same metric dimensions. However, load capacities, materials, and surface treatments may differ between manufacturers. When replacing a follower, verify not only the main dimensions—outside diameter, width, stud diameter—but also the service conditions. MR Industrial Accessories can advise on compatibility with other brands if you provide the full part number and application details.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the S suffix mean on MCFE cam followers?
- The S suffix means the cam follower is sealed. This seal protects against contaminants such as dust and moisture, and helps retain internal lubrication, which can extend service life in demanding environments.
- How do I choose the correct size of an MCFE follower?
- The number in the part number indicates the outside diameter in millimeters. For example, MCFE 22 S has a 22 mm outside diameter. Consider available space, radial load, and operating speed when choosing. If unsure, contact us with your application dimensions.
- Are MCGILL MCFE S followers interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be interchangeable with metric cam followers from other brands that follow the same standardized dimensions. Always verify load capacities and sealing type, as these may vary between manufacturers. We can advise if you send the part number and specifications.
