Cam followers in the McGill MCFR line are cylindrical roller bearings whose outer ring is crowned. They are built to carry heavy radial loads where the roller runs against a cam, a track or a support point. The sealed version keeps grease in place and keeps dust, chips and light moisture out, which suits shops and plants where the air is not clean. Installation is on a shaft or stud, locked with a nut.

Reading the code helps you order without guessing. MCFR marks a McGill metric cam follower with a crowned outer roller; the figure after it tells you the roller size inside the series. A letter A means the stud thread is metric, and SB means the bearing is sealed. Part numbers built this way share the same sealing approach but differ in outer diameter, so the code alone does not confirm fit. Have your mounting dimensions and load type ready before you pick one.

Typical duty covers machine tool cams, conveyor guides, lifting systems, presses, packaging equipment and automated lines, in metalworking, food, automotive and material handling operations. Because the bearing takes radial load and a certain amount of axial thrust, it works well as a support point where the roller turns on a raceway or cam. The SB seal holds lubricant in and blocks contaminants, which helps in areas with particles in the air.

When selecting, check outer diameter, roller width, stud diameter and thread, plus the sealing type. The support surface must be flat and square to the shaft, and alignment matters to keep side loads down. Bearings arrive pre-lubricated; after that, follow the relubrication interval from the manufacturer. If the roller runs on a cam, confirm the contact profile matches the crowned outer surface. Tighten the nut firmly and stay within the recommended torque.

Interchange with other sealed metric cam rollers is possible when the critical dimensions line up: outer diameter, width, stud diameter, thread pitch and crown radius. A similar part number is not proof of fit, so compare the dimensional data sheet. Alternatives exist both with and without seals and with different cage designs. For a replacement, send the measurements or the original part number and the equivalent can be identified.

MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies the McGill line for industrial use and ships to customers throughout the United States and to several Latin American countries. If you already have the part number, such as MCFR 47A SB or MCFR 72A SB, send it by WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need. If the designation is unclear, share the roller and stud dimensions and how it is mounted, and the team will help you confirm the right part.
