The McGill MCFRE cam follower is a stud-type roller bearing built for radial loads in cam and guidance applications. Its sealed construction helps it perform in environments where dust or moisture is present. You will find it in cam drives, conveyors and automated equipment. MR supplies this brand and can help you select the right model.
Reading the code: the MCFRE prefix denotes a metric cam follower with a threaded stud and seals. The number that follows—such as in MCFRE 22A S or MCFRE 40A S—corresponds to the roller size and stud length. The letter A signals a construction variant, while the trailing S confirms that seals are fitted. This lets you match the part to your outer diameter and mounting needs.
In US plants, McGill cam followers show up in machine tool cams, conveying systems, packaging machinery and automotive lines. They also serve in presses, punching equipment and guiding mechanisms that require a stud-mounted support roller. Their capacity for radial loads and some misalignment makes them useful where space is tight and a dependable rolling contact is needed.
Selection hinges on the roller outer diameter, stud length and thread, and sealing type. Models with the S suffix have seals that keep lubricant in and contaminants out, which suits dusty or humid conditions. When mounting, check alignment and tighten the stud properly; verify radial clearance and lubricate for your operating conditions. For greater rigidity, look at variants with larger diameter rollers.
McGill cam followers can be swapped with other brands that share standardized dimensions, provided the outer diameter, width and stud thread align. During replacement, compare tolerances and sealing to preserve performance. MR supplies McGill and can suggest equivalents. If you need an alternative, share the original part number and we will help you find a suitable option.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the S suffix mean in MCFRE cam followers?
- The S indicates that the cam follower has side seals. These seals keep lubricant in and help block contaminants, which supports longer service life in harsh conditions. It is important for dusty, humid or splash-prone applications.
- How do I choose the correct cam follower size?
- Consider the roller outer diameter, the stud length and thread, and the radial load it will carry. Available space and environmental conditions also matter. With those details, we can guide you to the right MCFRE model.
- Are McGill cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, if the main dimensions match: outer diameter, roller width and stud thread. Check tolerances and sealing type to ensure equivalent performance. We can help you find the equivalent using the original part number.
