McGill PCFE series cam followers are roller bearings built to run directly on cams, raceways or linear guides. They handle high radial loads and tilting moments, which makes them common in cam systems, reciprocating mechanisms and handling equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you match the right configuration to your application.
The PCFE code tells you the family and the size. PCFE is the McGill cam follower series, and the figure after it gives the nominal outside diameter in inches, written as a fraction when needed. So PCFE 1 1/2 means an outside diameter of 1 1/2 inches. You can identify the size from the part number alone, without extra tables.
These cam followers show up in machine tools, packaging machinery, conveying systems, presses, punching machines and cam mechanisms generally. Automation and robotics are another common home, where a precision bearing has to take combined loads and deliver smooth, repeatable motion. The sealed design suits areas with dust, chips or moderate humidity.
When selecting a cam follower, look at the outside diameter you need, whether the load is radial, axial or combined, and how the bearing will be lubricated. The PCFE series normally has seals that hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out, so confirm the sealing suits your working environment. Mounting has to line up accurately with the cam track to prevent uneven wear. Depending on speed and operating temperature, lubrication may be permanent or may need to be renewed.
For equivalents, McGill PCFE cam followers can be exchanged with products from other brands that use the same inch dimensional nomenclature. Compare more than the outside diameter: width, bore diameter and internal bearing type matter too. Check tolerances and load ratings from each manufacturer before you commit. Our team can point you to the options that apply.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the PCFE designation mean in McGill cam followers?
- PCFE is the McGill cam follower series. The number after it gives the nominal outside diameter in inches, such as 1 1/2, 2 or 3 1/2, so you can identify the size from the part number without measuring the part.
- How do I choose the right cam follower for my application?
- Look at the outside diameter, the type of load, the environment and lubrication. Make sure the sealing suits the conditions and that alignment with the cam is accurate. If you are unsure, send us the details of your mechanism.
- Are McGill PCFE cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be exchanged with products from other brands that share the same inch dimensional nomenclature. Compare outside diameter, width, bore and load rating. Ask us about the options that apply.
