Description

MCGILL MCFD 40 is a cam follower and support roller reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for MCFD 40 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The MCGILL MCFD series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to work directly on cams, guides and raceways. Its robust construction allows it to absorb high radial loads and shock forces in reciprocating motion mechanisms. It is used in equipment where precision and durability of the rolling contact are critical, and MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it as part of its bearing line for industry.

The MCFD series designation is read by letters and number: MCFD identifies the McGill cam follower family, and the number that follows indicates the roller size within the series. That is why MCFD 35, MCFD 40, MCFD 47, MCFD 52, MCFD 62, MCFD 72, MCFD 80 and MCFD 90 coexist in the catalog: each code corresponds to a different outer diameter size. To choose, send the complete code that appears on the drawing or on the original part.

These cam followers are used in actuation cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging machines, material handling equipment and lifting systems. In Argentine industry they appear in production lines, food plants, metallurgical plants and agricultural machinery factories, where the roller must rotate on a raceway and withstand lateral thrusts. They are also used in indexing devices and in opening and closing mechanisms that require reliable rolling contact.

To select the correct cam follower, take into account the outer diameter, roller width, stud or stem type and mounting method. The MCFD series is mounted on a shaft or stud and works with the cam raceway as the rolling surface. Check the alignment between the roller and the raceway, axial clearance and lubrication: an adequate layer of grease and a seal that retains the lubricant extend service life. If the environment has dust or humidity, choose the sealed variant that best suits it.

McGill cam followers are interchangeable with equivalent products from other brands when the main dimensions match: outer diameter, width, stud diameter and locking type. It is not enough for the series number to be similar: the geometry and the type of internal bearing must be compared. If you have the original code, we cross-reference it with the available alternative and confirm the equivalence before quoting.

If you need the MCGILL MCFD series cam follower, send us the complete code via WhatsApp along with a photo or the part drawing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we review the inquiry and respond shortly with the alternative that corresponds to your equipment. We can also advise you if you are looking for a variant of the same series that is not listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the number accompanying MCFD mean?
The number indicates the roller size within the MCFD series. Each code, such as MCFD 35 or MCFD 90, corresponds to a different outer diameter size. To identify the correct one, compare the code engraved on the part or the drawing dimension with the series list.
How do I know if a cam follower from another brand is equivalent?
You must compare outer diameter, roller width, stud diameter and type, and locking method. If those data match, the replacement is viable. Send us the dimensions or the original code via WhatsApp and we will verify the equivalence before quoting.
What lubrication is recommended for a cam follower?
Lubrication depends on the operating regime and the environment. In general, medium-consistency grease is used, applied so that it reaches the raceway. Adequate sealing retains the lubricant and prevents the entry of contaminants. Consult us about the sealed variant that best suits your equipment.
