Mcgill 2020512000 Sealed Heavy Stud Cam Follower

Product Description

The MCGILL 2020512000 is a sealed heavy stud cam follower designed for use in cam and track roller applications where reliable motion transfer and load handling are required. This needle roller bearing follower features a 0.5 inch roller diameter, a 0.375 inch roller width, and a 1/4-28 threaded stud with a 0.19 inch stud diameter and 0.625 inch stud length. The sealed design keeps contaminants out of the needle roller bearing assembly, extending service life in demanding environments. It is typically installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or industrial technicians working on conveyor systems, linkages, and cam-driven machinery.

This cam follower is suited for light-duty industrial applications requiring a compact stud-mount roller bearing. The cylindrical roller profile and sealed closure make it appropriate for use in machinery where the follower rides a cam surface or guide track. The hex head stud design allows for precise positioning and secure installation with standard hand tools. With a rated maximum speed of 11,500 RPM, it handles moderate-speed rotary and reciprocating cam applications in both OEM and replacement service contexts.

Key Features

• Needle roller bearing construction supports 680 lb dynamic load capacity and 1,580 lb static load capacity

Compatibility

This part is listed under McGill part number CFH 1/2 SB. It is designed as an OEM-style replacement cam follower for machinery and equipment using a sealed heavy stud cam follower with a 0.5 inch roller diameter and 1/4-28 stud thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic. De-energize and lock out all power to the machine before removing or installing any cam follower components. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the equipment manufacturer stud torque specifications when securing the hex stud. Do not exceed the rated dynamic or static load capacities, and verify that the cam surface or guide track is clean and within acceptable wear tolerances before installing a new follower.
