Product Description
EP-GE8E construction and application notes
EP-GE8E is the 8 mm-bore model in the GE..E / GE..ES Standard Radial family. Its nominal envelope is d 8 mm × D 16 mm with B 8 mm overall width.
Outer ring with a single split in the axial direction. Type ES uses lubricating grooves and holes in the outer and inner rings. The 15° 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-GE8E, that construction is paired with a 8 mm bore, 16 mm outside diameter, 8 mm overall width, 5.5 kN dynamic rating and 15° catalogue articulation value.
For EP-GE8E, the GE standard family uses the compact radial envelope and a serviceable steel-on-steel sliding pair. It is most relevant where periodic relubrication is already part of the machine maintenance plan and an open bearing face is acceptable.
Installation and fit
For EP-GE8E, start the fit review from its 8 mm bore and 16 mm outside diameter, then check how the 8 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-GE8E in the joint
For EP-GE8E, for a replacement check, begin with the joint envelope and then compare the full bearing marking. Pay particular attention to the outside diameter and overall width because both must fit the existing housing without forcing the joint. The service review should record motion amplitude, inspection access and the way grease or a maintenance-free liner is expected to work. Attach the drawing when possible and state which dimensions were measured from the old part versus taken from the machine specification.
