The McGill MCFRE series cam follower is a roller bearing with a threaded stud, designed to withstand radial loads in cam and guiding applications. Its robust construction and side seals make it suitable for machinery requiring high load capacity and resistance to contamination. It is used in cam systems, conveyors and automation equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this official brand and advises you on choosing the right model for your application.
The MCFRE designation is interpreted as follows: MCFRE identifies the series of metric cam followers with threaded stud and seals. The number that follows, as in MCFRE 22A S or MCFRE 40A S, indicates the roller size and stud length. The letter A indicates a construction variant, and the final S indicates that the bearing incorporates seals. These codes allow you to select the exact part according to the outer diameter and mounting conditions.
In Argentine industry, McGill cam followers are used in machine tool cams, conveying systems, packaging equipment and automotive production lines. They also appear in presses, punching machines and guiding mechanisms where a support roller with a threaded stud is needed. Their ability to withstand radial loads and a certain degree of misalignment makes them versatile in assemblies where space is limited and a reliable rolling point is required.
To select the right cam follower, take into account the roller outer diameter, the stud length and thread, and the type of sealing. The MCFRE series with the S suffix includes seals that retain lubricant and block contaminants, ideal for dusty or humid environments. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and proper tightening of the stud; check the radial clearance and lubricate according to operating conditions. If the application requires greater rigidity, consider variants with larger diameter rollers.
McGill cam followers are interchangeable with other brands offering standardized dimensions, as long as the outer diameter, width and stud thread match. When replacing a component, compare tolerances and the type of sealing to maintain performance. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies McGill as an official brand and can advise you on equivalents. If you need an alternative, ask us with the original part number and we'll help you find the right option.
