Description
McGILL MCFR 13 BX belongs to cam follower, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for MCFR 13 BX and any equivalents.
The McGill MCFR BX cam follower is a roller bearing that mounts on a shaft and rides along a cam profile or a linear guide. It suits reciprocating mechanisms, conveyors and cam-driven systems where the applied load is radial and operating speed stays moderate. The sealed, heavy-duty build works well in dusty settings and in permanently lubricated assemblies.
Reading the code helps you order without mistakes. MCFR is the metric CAMROL cam follower family. The figure that comes next, one of 13, 16, 19, 22, 26, 30, 32 or 35, sets the roller size. BX marks a construction variant defined by its sealing and lubrication arrangement.
Typical applications include machine tool cams, conveyor guide tracks, press ejection systems, food industry opening and closing mechanisms, and packaging and bottling lines. You will also find them in textile machinery and material handling equipment, where motion accuracy and resistance to wear matter.
Selection comes down to roller outer diameter, width, sealing type and internal clearance. The mounting shaft needs the correct fit, and alignment must be checked so no unwanted axial load appears. Use the lubricant specified by the manufacturer, and inspect the seals periodically to keep contaminants out. Under heavy load, confirm radial load capacity and limiting speed.
Interchange with other brands is possible when the key dimensions, roller type and sealing match. A similar part number is not enough: compare outer diameter, width, shaft diameter and load capacity. Send the complete designation plus measurements if you are unsure, and we will help you find the equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the BX suffix indicate on McGill cam followers?
- BX identifies a construction variant inside the MCFR series, with its own sealing and lubrication setup. Send us the complete part number and we will confirm what that model includes.
- How do I pick the right cam follower size?
- Look at roller outer diameter, width, shaft diameter and the radial load it will carry. Rotation speed and the working environment also matter. With those details we can point you to the correct model.
- Can McGill MCFR BX cam followers replace other brands?
- Yes, when the main dimensions and sealing type line up. Do not rely on the part number alone; compare outer diameter, width and shaft diameter. Send the measurements and we will advise on the equivalent.
