The McGill PCF series cam follower is a roller bearing designed to follow the profile of a cam or a motion guide. It mounts on a shaft and its thick-walled outer ring withstands high radial loads and tilting moments. It is used in actuating mechanisms, conveyors and equipment where motion must be precise and repeatable. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in bearings and power transmission.

The PCF series designation is read by the outer diameter of the roller: the examples PCF 1 1/2, PCF 1 3/4, PCF 2, PCF 2 1/4, PCF 2 1/2, PCF 3, PCF 3 1/4 and PCF 3 1/2 indicate that diameter in inches. The numeric suffix is not an internal code: it is the measurement that defines the size of the follower. To choose, compare that diameter with the available space and with the radius of the cam or guide. If the exact part number does not appear, send us the one shown on the drawing or on the old part and we will verify it.

These followers are used in actuating cams, linear guides, chain conveyors, packaging machines, material handling equipment and indexing mechanisms. In Argentina they are found in the food, automotive, metalworking and plastics industries, where a support roller that resists wear and maintains precision is required. They are also used in industrial sliding doors and lifting systems.

To select a cam follower, take into account the radial load and tilting moment it will withstand, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Sealing is key: if there is dust, chips or liquids, a reinforced seal is advisable. Lubrication must be adequate and installation must be with the shaft well aligned and tightened to avoid parasitic loads. The PCF series allows direct mounting on the shaft; verify the shaft diameter and axial play.

McGill cam followers are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. If you need to replace a roller from another company, compare outer diameter, width and shaft diameter; with that data we can offer you the equivalent. We work with the original designation and verified measurements. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the McGill brand as part of its bearing line.
