Product Description
EP-GE20ES construction and application notes
EP-GE20ES is the 20 mm-bore model in the GE..E / GE..ES Standard Radial family. Its nominal envelope is d 20 mm × D 35 mm with B 16 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 9° 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-GE20ES, that construction is paired with a 20 mm bore, 35 mm outside diameter, 16 mm overall width, 30 kN dynamic rating and 9° catalogue articulation value.
For EP-GE20ES, 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-GE20ES, 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-GE20ES in the joint
For EP-GE20ES, when this model is shortlisted, use the machine drawing to confirm the surrounding shoulders before looking at alternatives. The bore and outside diameter establish the radial envelope, while the listed width controls bracket and shoulder clearance. Temperature, contamination and articulation should be discussed together because they influence whether the selected construction is practical. When comparing adjacent sizes, identify the dimension that is constrained by the machine and which dimension can still change.
