Product Description
EP-GE20C construction and application notes
EP-GE20C is the 20 mm-bore model in the GE..C / GEG..C Maintenance-Free PTFE family. Its nominal envelope is d 20 mm × D 35 mm with B 16 mm overall width.
Outer ring pressed around the inner ring, with the outer race lined by PTFE composite material and a chromium-plated spherical inner-ring surface. The PTFE composite sliding layer removes routine relubrication from the bearing itself; load, oscillation, temperature and adjacent surface condition still control application suitability. On EP-GE20C, that construction is paired with a 20 mm bore, 35 mm outside diameter, 16 mm overall width, 31 kN dynamic rating and 9° catalogue articulation value.
For EP-GE20C, the C-family construction uses a PTFE-composite sliding layer instead of a routinely greased steel-on-steel contact. Selection should therefore focus on liner condition, motion, temperature and the surrounding surfaces as well as the basic boundary dimensions.
Installation and fit
For EP-GE20C, start the fit review from its 20 mm bore and 35 mm outside diameter, then check how the 16 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-GE20C in the joint
For EP-GE20C, when this model is shortlisted, use the machine drawing to confirm the surrounding shoulders before looking at alternatives. Check the shoulder geometry around the listed width and outside diameter, especially when the old bearing or housing shows wear. The service review should record motion amplitude, inspection access and the way grease or a maintenance-free liner is expected to work. Use the enquiry form to keep the selected model attached to the application, drawing and document request.
