MR Industrial Accessories supplies the McGill MCFE series of cam followers, which are roller bearings with a cylindrical outer profile. They are built to guide motion along cams and tracks, mounting directly onto shafts or studs. Common uses include presses, conveyors and machine tools, where the roller needs to follow a cam or track accurately. Our team serves customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries, and can help you select the right variant for your equipment.

The MCFE code identifies McGill metric cam followers. MCFE stands for the series with a threaded stud and cylindrical roller. The number that follows — as in MCFE 22A SB or MCFE 40A SB — gives the roller size within that series. The letter A marks a construction variant, while SB means the cam follower is sealed. So MCFE 52A SB and MCFE 72A SB are larger-diameter rollers than MCFE 26A SB, but they share the same mounting arrangement.

These cam followers suit applications where a cam or guide drives a mechanism repeatedly. In US plants and workshops, you will find them on packaging lines, food processing equipment, presses, material handling systems and transfer lines. They also appear in automotive operations and agricultural machinery, where resistance to wear and the ability to handle combined loads matter for keeping production running.

When choosing a cam follower, check the roller outer diameter, the stud type and the sealing. The SB version includes seals that hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out, which helps in dusty or damp conditions. Installation calls for careful alignment with the cam track and proper tightening of the stud. Correct lubrication and suitable internal clearance complete the job. If the equipment sees impact loads, confirm the load capacity of the roller you plan to use.

McGill cam followers can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that use the same metric nomenclature. The key is to compare roller dimensions, stud type and sealing, not just the part number. Alternatives with similar designations exist, but tolerances and materials can differ. When replacing a roller, validate interchangeability against the actual dimensions of the housing and the track. MR Industrial Accessories can assist with that comparison.

To request a McGill cam follower for your equipment, send the complete part number — for example, MCFE 47A SB — via WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories. Our technical team will identify the variant and provide a quote. You can also ask about other sizes in the MCFE series or about alternatives for specific applications.
