The McGill MCFE S series is a metric cam follower: a roller bearing that mounts on a shaft and rides along a cam profile or a guide track. It suits mechanisms where the load acts radially and the movement is either reciprocating or in constant contact. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this McGill line to maintenance and purchasing teams in the United States and Latin America, whether you are replacing a worn unit or specifying one for a new build.
Reading the code helps you order correctly. MCFE marks the metric cam follower family. The figure after it, as seen in MCFE 22A S, MCFE 40A S or MCFE 72A S, sets the roller size. The letter A identifies the shaft or end variant, and the closing S tells you the unit is sealed, so it holds lubricant in and keeps contaminants out. Because each position carries meaning, one number or letter cannot be swapped for another.
Typical applications include actuation cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging machinery, continuous motion equipment and lifting systems. The roller runs against a track and takes radial load with controlled wear, which is why these followers also show up in automatic door mechanisms and handling equipment.
When choosing a follower, check the outside diameter and roller width, decide between a threaded or plain shaft, and match the sealing to the environment. During mounting, align the shaft with the track and set clearance per the equipment manual. Use a lubricant suited to the load and rotation speed, and inspect the seal where dust, chips or moisture are present. Misalignment speeds up wear on both the track and the roller.
McGill cam followers can be interchanged with other brands that share the same metric nomenclature, provided the main dimensions and shaft type line up. A similar number is not enough: verify diameter, width, sealing and thread. Equivalents can be traced from measurements, but confirm compatibility before mounting.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the S mean in the MCFE part number?
- It marks a sealed version. The seal keeps lubricant in and limits the entry of dust and moisture, which is useful in contaminated environments.
- How do I know which MCFE number I need?
- The number follows from the outside diameter and roller width, plus the shaft type. If you have the original part number, send it by WhatsApp and we will quote that model. If not, we can help identify it from measurements.
- Can it be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, when the main dimensions, shaft type and sealing match. Interchangeability is not decided by the number alone: diameter, width and thread must be checked. Send us the part number and we will advise.
