The MCGILL MCFRE SBX cam follower is a stud-type roller bearing that tracks a cam profile or linear guide. It fastens directly to the machine frame through its threaded stud and carries radial loads with the precision needed for motion transmission. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this MCGILL line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
The MCFRE code identifies MCGILL's metric cam follower series. MCF stands for the cam roller family, R for the roller type, and E for the execution. The number that follows —22A, 26A, 40A, 47A, 52A, 62A, 72A, or 80A— sets the roller size and stud diameter. SBX defines the sealing and constructional features. When selecting, match the roller outer diameter and the stud thread to your application.
Typical uses include actuating cams, machine tool guides, conveyors, presses, and automation equipment. In packaging lines, textile machines, material handling equipment, and cutting systems, these cam followers convert cam rotation into controlled motion or guide a carriage with minimal friction. The MCFRE SBX series suits demanding applications where a robust, sealed roller is needed in dusty or chip-laden environments.
Selection should account for permissible radial load, rotational speed, and operating conditions. The SBX sealing keeps contaminants out and lubricant in, which helps extend service life in dirty settings. During mounting, keep the stud perpendicular to the cam track and tighten to the specified torque. Regular lubrication with high-quality grease is essential. For precise alignment, check the concentricity of the threaded hole.
MCGILL cam followers can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same metric standard, provided the roller dimensions, thread diameter and pitch, and sealing type match. A similar part number alone is not enough; load capacity and internal design must also be compared. Our team can help you find the right equivalent based on the original part number and your working conditions.
To request a cam follower for your machine, send the part number or model shown on the drawing or original part via WhatsApp or email. We will reply promptly with a quote and assist you so the replacement is correct.
