Cam followers in the McGill MCFR series are roller bearings built to travel along cams, guides and raceways. Their construction lets them handle radial and impact loads, which suits tough operating conditions. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers in the United States and Latin America.
The code starts with MCFR, then a two-digit number that points to the size and load capacity, and ends with the A S suffix for construction details of the series. That number is a direct size reference, not an internal series code, so the smallest and largest outer diameters are told apart by it.
You will find these cam followers in cam systems, conveyors, machine tools, bottling equipment and any mechanism that needs a support roller to follow a profile. They mount directly on shafts or studs, which makes translation or rotation motion easier. Industries such as metallurgy, food, cement and automotive rely on them.
When selecting a cam follower, look at the outer diameter, the width and the load capacity you need. The S seal keeps contamination out, so it is a good choice in dusty or humid areas. During mounting, check alignment with the raceway and make sure lubrication is adequate. The MCFR series accepts some misalignment, but shaft tolerances still need to be respected to avoid premature wear.
For equivalents, McGill MCFR cam followers can be swapped with products from other brands that use the same metric nomenclature, such as INA, SKF or NTN, provided dimensions and load capacity match. Sealing or heat treatment may differ between manufacturers, so always confirm the exact code before replacing.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the A S suffix mean in MCFR cam followers?
- The A S suffix covers construction features of the series, such as sealing type and internal design. Main dimensions stay the same, but protection against contaminants and performance can change. Send us the exact code to confirm compatibility.
- How do I choose the correct cam follower size?
- Base your choice on the outer diameter, the width and the load the cam follower must carry. Codes from MCFR 22A S to MCFR 80A S cover different capacities. If you are unsure, share your application data and we will advise you.
- Are McGill MCFR cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be interchanged with cam followers from other brands that follow the metric nomenclature, as long as dimensions and load capacity match. Check the code and technical specifications before replacing. We can help you find the equivalent.
