The MCGILL MCFR SB cam follower is a roller bearing whose outer surface is shaped to run directly against cams, raceways and linear guides. It mounts on a shaft or stud and handles radial loads together with the shock loads common in drive mechanisms. Because the design is sealed, lubricant stays in and contaminants stay out, so it works well in equipment that reciprocates or rotates continuously in tough conditions.

The code breaks down into three parts. MCFR marks the metric CAMROL cam follower family. The number that follows sets the roller size, and SB tells you the unit has integral seals. In the sizes MCFR 13 SB, MCFR 16 SB, MCFR 19 SB, MCFR 22 SB, MCFR 26 SB, MCFR 30 SB, MCFR 32 SB and MCFR 35 SB, that number grows step by step and defines the outer diameter and raceway width. Always quote the full code so the exact size is identified.

Typical applications include drive cams, chain and belt guides, conveying systems, presses, machine tools and packaging equipment. The roller's ability to take radial and shock loads makes it a common choice where the cam turns at moderate speed and the contact raceway needs a hard, wear-resistant surface.

Selection depends on three things: stud diameter, expected radial load and the sealing you need. The SB version has seals that keep out dust, chips and moisture, which is why it suits contaminated environments. Check alignment between cam and roller, since angular misalignment speeds up wear on both raceway and seal. Use a lubricant suited to the working temperature, and mount the roller so it turns freely on its shaft without excessive axial play.

Cam followers from different brands use their own nomenclatures, and interchangeability is not automatic. You have to compare outer diameter, width, stud diameter and length, sealing type and load capacity. The MCGILL MCFR SB series is a metric reference, and other manufacturers offer equivalents under different codes. If you are replacing a cam follower, send the measurements or the original code and we will help you find the compatible option.
