A cam follower from the MCGILL MCFRE BX line is a stud-type roller bearing that carries radial loads and transfers motion in cam drives, guideways and rail systems. The threaded stud and a nut secure it directly to the frame, while the outer ring turns on the rollers to cut friction and wear. It is a common part in positioning and actuation mechanisms across many industries.
Reading the code helps you order the right piece. MCFRE points to the McGill CAMROL metric cam follower family, a stud-type design with sealing. The digits that come after, as in MCFRE 85 BX, set the roller size and configuration. The BX ending marks a construction variant in the series, typically tied to the seal type or the end shape. To match your mechanism, check the outer diameter, the width and the stud diameter.
These cam followers show up in actuation cams, linear guides, conveyors, machine tools, packaging lines and reciprocating systems. They handle radial loads and tilting moments, so they suit setups where a small bearing mounts straight onto sheet metal or a structure.
Selection depends on the radial and axial load, the rotation speed and the working environment. The BX sealing keeps out dust and moisture, which makes it a good fit for dirty or damp areas. When mounting, line up the stud with the raceway and tighten the nut to the recommended torque. Good lubrication adds service life; for tough jobs, look at versions with a grease fitting or a heavier seal.
McGill cam followers interchange with other brands that use the metric standard, including INA, SKF and NTN, as long as the main dimensions and stud type line up.
