Product Description
EP-PB16 construction and application notes
EP-PB16 is the 16 mm-bore model in the PB Bronze-Lined family. Its nominal envelope is d 16 mm × D 38 mm with B 21 mm overall width.
Outer race lined with a bronze liner, with a lubricating groove and hole in the outer ring. The steel/bronze sliding pair is intended for lubricated pivoting service, with inspection of wear, lubrication path and adjacent pin condition remaining part of maintenance. On EP-PB16, that construction is paired with a 16 mm bore, 38 mm outside diameter, 21 mm overall width, 21 kN dynamic rating and 15° catalogue articulation value.
For EP-PB16, the PB family uses a bronze-lined sliding interface and a lubricated pivoting service strategy. Its construction should be compared with PTFE-lined and steel-on-steel alternatives by considering lubrication access, motion pattern and the available joint envelope.
Installation and fit
For EP-PB16, start the fit review from its 16 mm bore and 38 mm outside diameter, then check how the 21 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-PB16 in the joint
For EP-PB16, for a replacement check, begin with the joint envelope and then compare the full bearing marking. If the part is being measured from service, take several readings around the pin and housing before selecting the nominal envelope. For protected machinery, focus on motion and maintenance access; for exposed machinery, add sealing and contamination to the same review. Include quantity and application with the dimensional data so the response can distinguish a one-off replacement from a repeat requirement.
