MCGILL MCFE 72A SBX is a cam follower and support roller reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for MCFE 72A SBX via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The MCGILL MCFE SBX cam follower is a roller bearing with a crowned outer profile, designed to work in direct contact with cams, raceways and linear guides. It mounts on a shaft or stud and supports radial loads combined with shock loads. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line for applications requiring a robust roller, easy mounting and good load capacity in a small space.
The MCFE designation identifies McGill metric cam followers. The numbers that follow —22, 26, 40, 47, 52, 62 or 72— indicate the roller size, and the letter A indicates a construction variant within the series. The SBX suffix corresponds to an execution with special sealing and particular mounting characteristics. To choose the correct code, send the complete model shown on the drawing or on the machine: MCFE 22A SBX, MCFE 40A SBX, MCFE 72A SBX, etc.
These cam followers are used in machine tool cams, slide guides, conveyors, packaging equipment and reciprocating motion systems. In Argentine industry they appear in production lines, presses, bottling machines and road equipment. Their sealed construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, chips or moderate humidity, provided the lubrication and mounting specified by the manufacturer are respected.
To select the cam follower, take into account the outer diameter, the width and the stud type. The MCFE SBX series usually incorporates seals that retain lubricant and block contaminants; verify that the internal clearance and preload are suitable for your application. Mounting must ensure correct alignment with the cam track and firm fastening of the stud. Lubricate according to specification and check wear periodically.
McGill cam followers are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same metric standard and size designation. If you need to replace an existing roller, compare the main dimensions —outer diameter, width, stud diameter and length— and the sealing type. Do not invent equivalences: with the original code or the drawing measurements, at MR Accesorios Industriales we help you identify the correct option.
If you already have the code of the cam follower you use —for example MCFE 26A SBX or MCFE 52A SBX—, send it by WhatsApp along with a photo or sketch if possible. At MR Accesorios Industriales we verify it and send you the quote shortly. We can also advise you if you need a variant with another type of sealing or a different size within the same series.
