The MCGILL cam follower CFE N B series is a roller bearing with a threaded stud and a cylindrical-profile outer roller. It is used to transmit motion on cams or as a support roller in linear guides, where the load is radial and rotation is continuous. Its sealed design and robust construction make it suitable for demanding industrial applications. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in bearings and power transmission.

The CFE N B series designation is read in parts: CFE identifies the cylindrical roller cam follower, N indicates that the outer roller has a cylindrical profile (not crowned), and B indicates that the stud has a metric thread. The number that appears between the letters, as in CFE 1/2 N B, corresponds to the roller outside diameter in inches. Thus, the series covers different sizes according to that numeric value.

These cam followers are used in machine tool cams, conveyor belt guiding systems, packaging equipment and automated production lines. In Argentina, they are common in the food, automotive and metalworking industries, where a reliable, easy-to-mount support roller is required. Their threaded stud allows them to be fastened directly to the structure, simplifying the mechanism design.

To select the right cam follower, take into account the roller outside diameter, the thread type and the radial load it must withstand. The integrated sealing protects against contaminants and retains lubricant, extending service life. During mounting, ensure correct alignment with the cam or guide to avoid side loads. Periodic lubrication is key if the equipment operates in dusty or humid environments.

MCGILL cam followers can be interchanged with those from other brands that follow the same dimensional nomenclature, such as the CFE series from different manufacturers. Always verify the critical dimensions —outside diameter, stud diameter and thread pitch— before replacing a component. Interchangeability is not automatic across all brands, so it is advisable to compare the technical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CFE suffix mean in MCGILL cam followers?
CFE identifies the cylindrical roller cam followers of the CAMROL line. The letter N indicates a cylindrical profile and B indicates a stud with metric thread. The middle number, such as 1/2, corresponds to the outside diameter in inches.
How do I choose the right cam follower for my application?
Consider the roller outside diameter, the stud thread type and the radial load it will withstand. Also verify the available space and environmental conditions to choose the right sealing. If you have doubts, check with us providing the details of your mechanism.
Are MCGILL cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
They may be compatible with other brands that use the same dimensional nomenclature, but interchangeability is not automatic. It is essential to compare outside diameter, stud diameter and pitch, and load capacity before replacing a component.
