Mcgill 2140112000 Plain Cam Follower 1.5in Sealed Stud

Product Description

The MCGILL 2140112000 is a sealed stud-type plain cam follower designed for use in cam-and-follower mechanisms found in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and automation equipment. It features a 1.5-inch roller diameter and a 0.875-inch roller width, riding on a needle roller bearing for efficient radial load transfer. The 0.625-inch stud diameter with a 5/8-18 thread provides secure, adjustable mounting. Rated at 4,840 pounds dynamic load capacity and 5,640 pounds static load capacity, this cam follower is built to handle demanding cyclic loading. Licensed HVAC and mechanical trades professionals, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.

This cam follower is suited for both new installations and maintenance replacement applications in industrial and light manufacturing environments. Typical uses include track-riding follower assemblies, linkage systems, and indexing mechanisms where a stud-mounted roller is required to follow a hardened cam or track surface. The sealed design helps retain lubrication and resist contamination in moderately dirty operating environments, reducing the need for frequent relubrication in standard service cycles.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch roller diameter with 0.875-inch roller width for stable contact across cam track surfaces
• Needle roller bearing type provides high radial load capacity in a compact envelope
• Sealed stud design retains lubricant and limits contamination ingress
• Hex stud feature allows precise torque application and positional adjustment during installation
• 4,840 pounds dynamic load capacity and 5,640 pounds static load capacity rated for heavy cyclic duty
• Steel roller construction for durability in industrial applications

Compatibility

The McGill factory part number for this component is CF 1-1/2 SB. This cam follower is designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for sealed stud cam followers of the same stud diameter, roller diameter, and thread specification in industrial machinery and automation equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified millwrights or industrial maintenance technicians. Before servicing any cam-follower assembly, de-energize and lock out the machine per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. The hex stud feature requires an appropriate wrench for proper engagement; do not use pliers or pipe wrenches on the stud flats. Verify the mating cam or track surface condition before installing a new follower, as worn or scored tracks will reduce service life.
