The MCFRE SB line from MCGILL covers cam followers built as roller bearings that mount on a stud and run against a cam profile or a guide track. A threaded stud and a cylindrical outer roller define the series, while the SB suffix marks the version with reinforced sealing. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams in the United States and Latin America, and can help you match a code to your machine.

Reading the code is the first step. MCFRE tells you it is a metric cam follower with a threaded stud and a cylindrical roller. The figure in the middle, as in MCFRE 22A SB, MCFRE 40A SB, MCFRE 26A SB or MCFRE 52A SB, sets the roller size inside the series. The letter A marks an execution variant, and SB means reinforced sealing. Two references can share the same mounting style and seal yet differ in diameter and width, so the full code matters. A dimension table or a quick message with the complete reference settles any doubt.

Typical duty covers actuating cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging lines, printing units and cam systems on machine tools. Wherever a support roller has to take radial load and tilting moments at the same time, this design fits. The sealed execution suits surroundings with dust or chips, as long as mounting and lubrication follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Selection comes down to roller diameter and width, stud type, permissible radial load and running speed. The SB seal keeps contaminants out and lubricant in, which is why it is the sensible pick for exposed positions. At mounting, check shaft alignment and cam perpendicularity; misalignment speeds up wear. Use a lubricant matched to the working temperature, and leave internal clearance for thermal expansion so precision is not lost.

Interchange with other brands is possible but never automatic. Dimensions, load capacity, seal type and stud thread all have to line up; a similar code is not enough, since a different cam radius or shaft tolerance changes how the follower behaves. For a replacement, send the original code plus the main dimensions and we will point you to the right option. Have a reference such as MCFRE 47A SB or MCFRE 80A SB?
