Overview
The McGill CF 1-3/4 S cam follower is a precision stud-type bearing engineered for demanding industrial applications. Part of McGill’s CAMROL series, this sealed cam follower features a 1.75-inch roller diameter and needle-rolling elements for superior load distribution and shock resistance. The integrated LUBRI-DISC seal system provides long-term corrosion protection and maintains optimal lubrication between service intervals, making it ideal for machinery where downtime is costly.
Key Features
- Full-Complement Needle Rollers: High radial load capacity with improved shock-load resistance compared to caged needle bearings
- LUBRI-DISC Sealed Design: Integrated lubrication groove and seals extend bearing life and reduce maintenance
- Heavy-Section Outer Race: Withstands shock loading inherent to cam-follower operation
- Induction Heat-Treated Studs: Enhanced durability in the roller path and flange surfaces
- Pre-Lubricated: Supplied with lithium-soap-thickened grease for immediate operation
- Slot-Hole Drive: Secures to cam plates and machine frames with standard fasteners
