MCGILL FCF series cam followers are cylindrical roller bearings with a special outer profile, designed to run directly on cams, raceways or linear guides. They are used in reciprocating motion mechanisms, lifting systems and equipment where the load is high and space is limited. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand for industrial applications in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The FCF series designation is read with the prefix FCF followed by a measurement in inches, as in FCF 1 1/2 or FCF 3 1/4. That measurement indicates the outer diameter of the roller, which in this series is expressed in inches and fractions. The numeric suffix is not a letter code: it is directly the roller size. To identify the exact part, provide the complete part number shown on the bearing or on the drawing.

These cam followers are used in machine tool cams, presses, chain conveyors, bottling equipment and guiding systems in the food and automotive industries. In Argentina, they are common in production lines requiring precise, repetitive motion, where the roller must withstand high radial loads and maintain alignment with the raceway. They are also used in industrial sliding doors and indexing mechanisms.

To select the correct cam follower, take into account the outer diameter your mechanism requires, the sealing type (open or with seals) and the mounting method: FCF cam followers are usually mounted on a shaft or stud with a press fit or with a nut. Lubrication must be suitable for the speed and load; in dusty or humid environments, sealed variants are preferable. Alignment between the roller and the raceway is critical to avoid premature wear.

Cam followers from different brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions match: outer diameter, width, bore diameter and profile type. It is not enough for the designation to be similar; tolerances and load capacity must be verified. If you need to replace an existing roller, send us the complete part number and the housing dimensions to confirm the equivalent.

MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the MCGILL line with technical advice so you can choose the right cam follower. If you already have the FCF part number or the model you need, write to us on WhatsApp and we will quote you shortly. We can also help you identify the part from a sample or from the dimensions of the mechanism.
