The MCGILL CFH SB series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to be mounted on a shaft and follow the profile of a cam or a rolling guide. Its inch design and robust construction make it suitable for applications where radial loads are high and the motion is reciprocating or continuous. It is used in cam mechanisms, conveyors, machine tools and automation equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line for the Argentine market.
The CFH SB series designation is read as follows: CFH identifies the inch cam follower family; the number that follows indicates the outside diameter in inches, expressed as a fraction (for example, CFH 1 1/2 SB corresponds to 1 1/2 inches). The SB suffix indicates a construction variant within the series, usually linked to the type of sealing or to the stud configuration. Examples in the series include sizes from CFH 1 SB to CFH 1 7/8 SB, which covers a wide range of diameters.
In Argentine industry, cam followers are found in cam mechanisms of textile machines, in packaging lines, in roller conveyors and in reciprocating motion equipment. They also appear in presses, bending machines and linear guiding systems where a precision rolling wheel is required. Their ability to withstand radial loads and a certain degree of misalignment makes them versatile in fixed-shaft mountings.
To select the right follower, take into account the outside diameter your mechanism needs, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The SB sealing protects against contaminants and retains the lubricant, which extends service life in dusty or humid environments. Mounting must ensure correct shaft alignment and adequate lubrication; in critical applications, check the internal clearance and the mounting interference.
MCGILL cam followers are interchangeable with those of other brands that manufacture equivalent inch products, as long as the main dimensions match: outside diameter, stud diameter, width and type of sealing. When requesting a quote, it is essential to provide the complete part number and, if possible, the standard dimensions to ensure equivalence. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the MCGILL brand as part of its bearing line for industry.
