Mcgill 2060512000 Sealed Heavy Stud Cam Follower

Product Description

The MCGILL 2060512000 is a sealed heavy stud cam follower with a hex head, designed for use in roller-follower and linear-motion applications where a needle roller bearing is required under radial loads. The cylindrical steel roller measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in width, riding on a needle roller bearing assembly for efficient load distribution. With a dynamic load capacity of 1,660 lb and a static load capacity of 4,130 lb, this follower handles demanding duty cycles. The sealed design protects the internal needle roller assembly from contamination. Millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically install this component in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and cam-actuated mechanisms.

This cam follower is suited for industrial and commercial applications where guided roller contact against a cam or track surface is required. The 7/16-20 threaded stud allows installation directly into a tapped bore on a yoke or mounting plate. The hex head on the stud provides wrench access for precise torque application during assembly. It operates at speeds up to 6,400 RPM, making it appropriate for moderate- to high-speed cam and track systems found in packaging equipment, material handling lines, and automated machinery.

Key Features

• Needle roller bearing internals for high radial load capacity in a compact envelope
• Sealed closure type protects bearing from contamination and reduces relubrication frequency
• Hex head stud allows positive wrench engagement during installation and adjustment
• Dynamic load capacity of 1,660 lb and static load capacity of 4,130 lb
• Maximum operating speed of 6,400 RPM
• Steel roller and steel construction for durability in industrial environments

Compatibility

This part corresponds to McGill part number CFH 3/4 SB. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation cam follower for industrial machinery requiring a 0.75-inch diameter sealed heavy stud cam follower with a 7/16-20 threaded stud.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or mechanical maintenance technicians. Before servicing any machinery, de-energize and lock out the equipment per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Thread the stud into the mounting bore and use a wrench on the hex head to achieve proper seating. Do not over-stress the stud by applying torque beyond what the mounting assembly is rated for, and verify that the cam or track surface is clean and free of burrs before placing the follower in contact with it.
