Overview
The McGill CF2S cam follower is part of McGill’s CAMROL line of precision stud-mounted bearings designed for cam and track-type motion applications. This sealed cylindrical cam follower features a thick-walled outer ring and full-complement needle roller construction that provides superior radial load capacity and shock load resistance. The unit is manufactured from bearing steel with black oxide finish and delivers consistent, reliable performance in linear motion, conveyor, and indexing equipment.
Key Features
- Full-complement needle roller bearing – maximizes load-carrying capacity while minimizing deflection under heavy radial loads
- Sealed LUBRI-DISC design – extends bearing life by containing lubrication and preventing contamination
- Threaded stud mount – 7/8-14 UNC thread with 2″ stud length; slotted head prevents rotation during installation
- Heavy-sectioned outer race – zone-hardened surfaces absorb shock loads while ductile inner ring mitigates impact stress
- Black oxide finish – corrosion protection suitable for plant floor and washdown environments
- Chrome steel roller with 8620H stud – premium material selection for extended bearing life
