McGill MCFR series cam followers are cylindrical roller bearings with a crowned outer profile, designed to withstand high radial loads in cam and support applications. Their sealed design makes them suitable for environments with dust, chips or moderate moisture. They are mounted on a shaft or stud and secured with a nut, and are used in cams, linear guides, conveyors and reciprocating machines. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The MCFR designation identifies McGill metric cam followers with a crowned outer roller. The number that follows indicates the roller size within the series. The A suffix distinguishes the version with metric threaded stud, and SB indicates that the bearing incorporates sealing. Thus, the different part numbers share the same type of sealing but different outer diameter. To choose the correct part number, have the mounting dimensions and the type of load at hand.
These cam followers are used in machine tool cams, conveyor guides, lifting systems, presses, packaging equipment and automated production lines. In Argentina, you find them in the metalworking, food, automotive and material handling industries. Their ability to withstand radial loads and some axial thrust makes them suitable for support points where the roller must rotate on a raceway or cam. The sealed SB version helps retain lubricant and exclude contaminants, which extends service life in environments with particles.
To select a cam follower, consider the outer diameter, roller width, stud diameter and thread, and the type of sealing. Mounting requires a flat support surface perpendicular to the shaft, and careful alignment to avoid side loads. Initial lubrication comes from the factory; in service, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the relubrication interval. If the roller works on a cam, verify that the contact profile is compatible with the crowned outer surface. Nut tightening must be firm, without exceeding the recommended torque.
McGill MCFR series cam followers can be interchanged with other brands that offer sealed metric cam rollers, as long as the critical dimensions match: outer diameter, width, stud diameter and thread pitch, and crown radius. It is not enough for the part number to be similar; the dimensional data sheet must be compared. On the market there are alternatives with and without sealing, and with different types of cage. If you need to replace an existing roller, send us the measurements or the original part number and we'll help you find the equivalent.
At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell the McGill line for industrial applications. If you already have the part number —for example, MCFR 47A SB or MCFR 72A SB—, send it via WhatsApp along with the quantity and we'll quote you shortly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SB suffix mean in McGill MCFR cam followers?
- The SB suffix indicates that the cam follower incorporates sealing. This helps retain lubricant and protect the bearing against dust, chips and moderate moisture. For highly contaminated environments, verify whether the sealing is adequate or if you need additional protection.
- How do I choose the correct part number from the MCFR series?
- You need the roller outer diameter, the width, the stud diameter and thread, and the type of sealing. With that data, the part number comes from the manufacturer's table. If you don't have the data sheet, send us the measurements via WhatsApp and we'll help you identify it.
- Are MCFR cam followers interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be if the critical dimensions match: outer diameter, width, stud diameter and thread pitch, and crown radius. Don't rely only on the part number; compare the dimensional data sheet. If you send us the original part number, we'll look for the equivalent.
