Mcgill 2040112000 Sealed Stud Cam Follower Needle Roller

Product Description

The MCGILL 2040112000 is a sealed stud-type cam follower designed for use in linear and rotary motion applications where a compact, high-load roller bearing is required. It features a cylindrical steel roller measuring 0.625 inches in diameter and 0.4375 inches wide, supported by a needle roller bearing assembly. The 0.25 inch stud diameter with a 1/4-28 thread provides secure mounting, and the sealed design protects internal components from contamination. With a dynamic load capacity of 955 pounds and a static load capacity of 1,215 pounds, this follower suits demanding mechanical linkage and cam track installations. It is typically installed by millwrights, mechanical maintenance technicians, and OEM equipment assemblers.

This cam follower is suited for use in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, cam-driven mechanisms, and motion control assemblies where reliable rolling contact against a track or cam surface is required. The sealed construction makes it appropriate for environments where periodic relubrication access is limited. The hex head stud allows for straightforward installation with standard hex tooling. Maximum operating speed is rated at 9,200 RPM, supporting moderate- to high-speed applications.

Key Features

• Cylindrical steel roller, 0.625 inches diameter and 0.4375 inches wide, for consistent cam-surface contact
• Needle roller bearing type provides high radial load capacity in a compact envelope
• Sealed closure type protects bearing internals from dirt, debris, and moisture ingress
• 1/4-28 threaded stud with hex head for secure, torque-wrench-compatible installation
• Dynamic load capacity of 955 pounds and static load capacity of 1,215 pounds
• Rated to 9,200 RPM maximum, suitable for moderate- to high-speed cam and track applications

Compatibility

This part is identified by McGill part number CF 5/8 SB. Designed as a sealed stud cam follower replacement for industrial motion control and cam-track applications requiring a 0.625 inch cylindrical roller with a 1/4-28 threaded stud.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing any bearing components. Use a calibrated torque wrench with the appropriate hex socket to seat the stud without over-stressing the thread. Inspect the mating cam track or guide surface for wear or damage before installing a new follower, as a compromised track surface will accelerate roller wear.
