Cam followers in the McGill MCFRE SX line are roller bearings that mount on a shaft and track the contour of a cam or a guide surface. They handle combined loads and oscillating movement in industrial equipment, and their sealing suits demanding environments. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams in the United States and Latin America, with support to match the right part number to your machine.
Reading the code helps you order with confidence. The MCF block stands for metric CAMROL cam followers. RE tells you the outer roller is cylindrical and carries a roller crown. SX marks the version with special sealing. The trailing digits give the roller's outside diameter in millimeters, so each size in the series has its own unambiguous number.
Typical installations include actuating cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging machinery, presses and automated equipment. Because these followers take radial load along with a degree of axial thrust, they fit mechanisms where the movement is not a simple rotation but a swing or a combination of directions.
Selection comes down to three points: the outside diameter your mechanism accepts, the sealing your environment calls for (dust, chips or moisture) and how the stud is fixed, whether pressed into the shaft or secured axially. Correct lubrication and accurate alignment both help the follower last. Where the roller runs against a cam, confirm the profile and hardness suit the crowned surface.
Followers made to the metric CAMROL nomenclature from other manufacturers can be used in place of McGill units when dimensions and sealing type line up. For a quote, send the complete part number and, when you have them, the operating conditions. Our team can also point you to a suitable equivalent from the bearings and power transmission lines we carry.

Frequently asked questions
- How is the MCFRE SX code broken down?
- MCF is the metric CAMROL cam follower family, RE means a cylindrical outer roller with a roller crown, and SX is the special sealing variant. The number after the letters is the roller's outside diameter in millimeters.
- What information do I need to pick the right size?
- The outside diameter your mechanism accepts, the space available and the loads involved. The numeric part of the MCFRE SX code gives you that diameter. If anything is unclear, send your equipment details by WhatsApp.
- Can I use another brand's cam follower instead?
- Yes, when the unit follows the metric CAMROL nomenclature and matches in dimensions, roller type and sealing. Send the part number and operating conditions with your quote request so we can check the equivalent.
