The McGill MCF A SBX series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to work in direct contact with cams, raceways or linear guides. Its robust construction and its ability to withstand high radial loads make it ideal for reciprocating motion and precise positioning applications. In Argentine industry it is used in automation systems, machine tools and handling equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this brand with more than 80 years of experience in the industry.
The MCF designation identifies McGill's metric cam followers, with mounting thread and outer roller. The number that follows — for example, in MCF 22A SBX or MCF 40A SBX — indicates the roller and thread size. The suffix A indicates a design variant, while SBX refers to a special seal that protects against contaminants. Knowing these codes allows you to select the right follower for each application.
These followers are used in drive cams, packaging machine guides, transfer systems and cutting equipment. In Argentina, they are common in the automotive, metalworking and food industries, where precise and repetitive motion is required. They also appear in presses, bending machines and indexing devices. Their sealed design makes them suitable for environments with dust or chips, extending the service life of the bearing.
When selecting a cam follower, take into account the outer diameter, the roller width and the type of thread. The MCF A SBX series offers integrated sealing, which reduces the entry of particles and improves lubricant retention. For mounting, ensure correct alignment with the raceway and apply the recommended tightening torque. Periodic lubrication with high-quality grease extends the life of the component, especially in applications with variable loads.
McGill cam followers are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the metric standard, such as INA, SKF or NTN, provided the dimensions and load capacity match. When requesting a quote, it is essential to verify the complete part number and the operating conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the McGill brand and can advise you on the right equivalent for your equipment.
