The MCGILL FCFE series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to run on cams, linear guides or raceways. Its robust construction withstands radial loads and allows rolling motion with minimal friction. It is used in actuating mechanisms, conveying systems and equipment where precise, long-lasting contact is required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this brand and advises you on choosing the right size for your application.
The FCFE designation identifies MCGILL special cam followers. The numbers that follow, as in FCFE 1 1/2 or FCFE 3, indicate the outside diameter in inches and fractions. Thus, FCFE 2 1/2 corresponds to a roller with a 2 1/2 inch outside diameter. This nomenclature lets you quickly select the right size for your mechanism. The FCFE series stands out for its roller and sealing configuration, aimed at sealed applications.
In Argentine industry, MCGILL cam followers are used in machine tool cams, engine cam systems, roller conveyors, bottling equipment and the food industry. They also appear in presses, punching machines and lifting mechanisms. Their ability to withstand radial loads and moments makes them suitable for assemblies where the cam itself is the raceway. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them throughout the country.
To select a cam follower, take into account the outside diameter, the width and the type of sealing. The FCFE series usually incorporates seals that retain lubricant and exclude contaminants. Check the alignment with the raceway and the appropriate internal clearance. Mounting is done on a shaft or stud; make sure the rolling surface is ground and lubricated. Correct lubrication extends the bearing's service life.
