The MCGILL CFE SB series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to work as a support roller in cams, guides and motion systems. Its robust construction withstands radial loads and tilting moments, so it is used in mechanisms that require precise, long-lasting rolling contact. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct part number for your application.
The CFE SB series designation reads as follows: CFE identifies the inch-series cam follower family, SB indicates a construction variant with sealing. The numbers between the two letters correspond to the outside diameter in inches, as in CFE 1 SB, CFE 1 1/4 SB or CFE 1 1/2 SB. That measurement defines the roller size and, together with the remaining letters, allows each item to be identified. To request a quote, send us the full part number shown on your drawing or sample.
These cam followers are used across a wide range of industries in Argentina: machine tools, packaging equipment, conveyors, cam systems for automation, presses and linear guiding devices. They also appear in the food and pharmaceutical sectors when a sealed bearing that withstands washdowns is required. Their function is to support the movement of a cam or a raceway, transmitting the load and maintaining the mechanism's precision over time.
To select the right cam follower, take into account the outside diameter your application needs, the type of sealing required for the environment (dust, moisture, washdowns) and the mounting method: CFE SB followers are mounted by means of a threaded stud or a shaft, and it is essential to verify alignment with the cam or guide. Proper lubrication and correct internal clearance adjustment extend service life. If you have doubts, consult us with the data of your mechanism.
As for equivalents, inch-series cam followers from different brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions and the type of sealing match, but it is always advisable to verify load capacity and stud design. The MCGILL CFE SB series is a well-known reference on the market, and at MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you toward suitable options. We work with the exact designation shown in the catalogs.
