The MCGILL MCFRE B series cam follower is a roller bearing that mounts on a shaft and works as a support or guide roller in cam mechanisms. It handles radial loads in continuous or alternating rotation, making it suitable for conveyors, machine tools, and automation equipment.
The MCFRE B code breaks down as follows: MCF for the metric cam follower family, R for a cylindrical outer roller without flange, E for reinforced sealing, and B for a construction variant. The number after the letters, such as in MCFRE 85 B, gives the outer diameter of the roller in millimeters. Always confirm the mounting dimensions and load type before selecting a part number.
These cam followers are found in belt and roller conveyors, presses, packaging machines, cam systems for valve actuation, lifting equipment, and positioners. They also appear in food, automotive, and metalworking operations where a compact bearing must carry radial loads and allow precise movement. They can replace conventional bushings or rollers at articulation and guiding points.
Key selection factors include outer diameter, roller width, bore diameter, and sealing type. The MCFRE B series uses seals that keep lubricant in and contamination out, which helps in dusty or humid environments. Make sure the shaft and raceway are aligned, lubricate according to service conditions, and mount with the recommended fit to avoid play or overloads.
MCGILL cam followers interchange with equivalent products from other brands that share the same metric nomenclature and standardized dimensions. For a replacement, compare outer diameter, width, bore diameter, and sealing type. Verify that the manufacturer's part number matches the original equipment specifications.
