Product Description
EP-GEG40ES construction and application notes
EP-GEG40ES is the 40 mm-bore model in the GEG..E / GEG..ES Heavy-Duty family. Its nominal envelope is d 40 mm × D 68 mm with B 40 mm overall width.
Heavy-duty GEG radial construction with a single axial split. Type ES uses lubricating grooves and holes in both rings. The 17° articulation value shown in the model table helps define angular movement around the spherical sliding surface. This construction is intended for slow oscillating or pivoting joints where a planned lubrication path is available. On EP-GEG40ES, that construction is paired with a 40 mm bore, 68 mm outside diameter, 40 mm overall width, 127 kN dynamic rating and 17° catalogue articulation value.
For EP-GEG40ES, the GEG heavy-duty family uses a wider radial section than the comparable GE range. Housing width and shoulder support therefore deserve extra attention when a machine needs the heavier GEG envelope but remains on a greaseable steel-on-steel system.
Installation and fit
For EP-GEG40ES, start the fit review from its 40 mm bore and 68 mm outside diameter, then check how the 40 mm bearing width is supported by the housing shoulders. The fitting-tolerance resource includes H7 and h6 among the reference classes; final fit still depends on ring loading, housing stiffness, temperature and the machine interface.

Selection Context
How to verify EP-GEG40ES in the joint
For EP-GEG40ES, this size is best reviewed from the actual pin and housing rather than from the designation alone. The dimensional check should cover bore, outside diameter and both width values so the bearing is supported as intended. If lubrication is part of the design, confirm the grease path reaches the sliding contact instead of stopping at the surrounding joint. If the housing has been repaired or re-machined, include the current bore measurement rather than relying on the original machine manual.
