The MCGILL MCFRE BX series cam follower is a roller bearing with a threaded stud, designed to withstand radial loads and transmit motion in cam systems, guides and rails. It mounts directly onto the structure via its threaded stud and a nut, and its outer ring rotates on the rollers, which reduces friction and wear. It is a key component in actuation and positioning mechanisms in industry.
The MCFRE BX designation is read in parts: MCFRE identifies the family of McGill CAMROL metric cam followers, with threaded stud and sealing. The numbers that follow, as in MCFRE 85 BX, indicate the size and configuration of the roller. The BX suffix indicates a construction variant within the series, generally associated with the type of sealing or the shape of the end. To choose the correct part number, take into account the outer diameter, width and stud diameter required by your mechanism.
These cam followers are used in actuation cams, linear guides, conveyors, machine tools, packaging equipment and reciprocating motion systems. In Argentine industry they appear in production lines, automotive assemblies, agricultural machinery and lifting equipment. Their ability to withstand radial loads and tilting moments makes them suitable for applications requiring a small-size bearing with direct mounting onto sheet metal or structure.
To select the appropriate cam follower, consider the radial and axial load it must withstand, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The BX sealing protects against dust and moisture, so it is recommended in contaminated environments. During mounting, verify the alignment of the stud with the raceway and apply the recommended tightening torque for the nut. Proper lubrication extends service life; in critical applications, opt for versions with a grease fitting or reinforced seal.
McGill cam followers are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the metric standard, such as INA, SKF or NTN, provided the main dimensions and stud type match.
