Mcgill 2140100000 Stud Cam Follower 1.5in Needle Roller

Product Description

The MCGILL 2140100000 is a stud-type cam follower designed for use in cam-and-follower mechanisms, conveyor systems, and linear motion applications. It features a 1.5-inch cylindrical steel roller with a 0.875-inch roller width, supported by a needle roller bearing assembly. The stud diameter is 0.625 inches with a 5/8-18 thread size and a 1.5-inch stud length. Dynamic load capacity reaches 4,840 pounds, making it well-suited for moderate-to-heavy industrial duty cycles. The slotted head design allows for easy installation and preload adjustment. This component is installed by mechanical maintenance technicians and industrial equipment service professionals.

This cam follower is used in a wide range of industrial machinery including packaging equipment, automation systems, material handling conveyors, and cam-actuated mechanisms. The needle roller bearing construction supports high radial loads in a compact envelope. The unsealed design is appropriate for controlled environments where external lubrication access is part of the maintenance routine. It is a direct stud-mount component that threads into a prepared bore or mounting bracket on the host machine frame or follower arm.

• Slotted head for wrench or screwdriver installation and torque adjustment
• Unsealed closure type rated to 2,500 RPM maximum

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stud cam follower for industrial cam-and-follower mechanisms requiring a 1.5-inch roller diameter and 5/8-18 stud thread. Also referenced by McGill part number CF 1-1/2.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical maintenance personnel with the host machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures. Thread the stud into the mounting bore by hand first to confirm thread engagement before applying torque with a wrench to the slotted head. Because this is an unsealed bearing, establish a routine lubrication interval appropriate to the operating environment and load cycle. Inspect the follower for radial play or roller surface wear during each scheduled maintenance interval.
