Mcgill 2100512000 Plain Cam Follower 1 in Roller Sealed

Product Description

The MCGILL 2100512000 is a sealed heavy stud cam follower with a hex head, designed for use in industrial machinery applications where a rolling contact follower is needed on a cam or track surface. It features a 1-inch cylindrical steel roller riding on a needle roller bearing, a 0.625-inch stud diameter, and a 5/8-18 threaded stud. The sealed closure type keeps out contamination and retains lubrication, making it suitable for moderate to heavy-duty cycles. This part is installed by industrial maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers working on conveyors, automation equipment, and cam-driven mechanisms.

This cam follower is appropriate for applications involving linear or curved track guidance, oscillating linkages, and cam-actuated assemblies in both light industrial and heavy industrial settings. The heavy stud design and needle roller bearing support significant radial loads, with a dynamic load capacity of 2,225 pounds and a static load capacity of 6,120 pounds. The hex head stud allows for straightforward installation and removal using standard wrenches. It is suited for installations where stud-type followers are specified over yoke-type designs.

Key Features

• 1-inch cylindrical steel roller for reliable cam or track contact
• Needle roller bearing for high radial load capacity with compact dimensions
• Sealed closure type retains lubrication and excludes contaminants
• Hex head stud for easy installation and torque application with standard tools
• 5/8-18 thread size with 0.5-inch thread length for secure stud mounting
• Rated to 4,800 RPM maximum for moderate-speed applications

Compatibility

This part is referenced under McGill part number CFH 1 SB. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit cam follower for machinery specifying a sealed heavy stud cam follower with a 1-inch roller diameter and 5/8-18 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or mechanical engineers. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing cam follower assemblies. Use a torque wrench on the hex stud to achieve proper clamping without overloading the thread. Confirm the mating cam or track surface finish and hardness meet the follower manufacturer specifications before assembly.
