The McGill MCFR BX cam follower is a roller bearing designed to be mounted on a shaft and follow the profile of a cam or a linear guide. It is used in reciprocating motion mechanisms, conveyors and cam systems where the load is radial and the speed is moderate. Its robust construction and sealing make it suitable for dusty environments or permanent lubrication. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in bearings and industrial accessories.
The MCFR BX series designation reads as follows: MCFR identifies the family of metric CAMROL cam followers; the number that follows —13, 16, 19, 22, 26, 30, 32 or 35— indicates the roller size, and the BX suffix indicates a construction variant with specific sealing and lubrication. Knowing this nomenclature lets you order the exact part number you need.
These cam followers are used in machine tool cams, conveyor guides, press ejection systems, opening and closing mechanisms in the food industry, and in packaging and bottling equipment. In Argentina, you find them in automotive production lines, food plants and plastics factories, where motion precision and wear resistance are critical. They are also used in textile machines and material handling equipment.
To select the correct cam follower, take into account the roller outer diameter, the width, the type of sealing and the internal clearance. Mounting requires a shaft with the proper fit and careful alignment to avoid parasitic axial loads. Lubrication must be the one specified by the manufacturer, and it is advisable to check the condition of the seals to prevent the entry of contaminants. In high-load applications, verify the radial load capacity and the limiting speed.
McGill MCFR BX cam followers can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, as long as the main dimensions, the roller type and the sealing match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: you have to compare outer diameter, width, shaft diameter and load capacity. If you have doubts, ask us with the full designation and the measurements; we help you find the right equivalent.
