When a rotating shaft needs its lubricant kept in and outside contamination kept out, a radial shaft seal does that job. The DBH 1310 is one such lip seal, built for housings measuring 80 mm across and 12 mm deep, using the A 378 configuration. Gearboxes, pumps and motors are the usual places you will find it, protecting the bearings around it. It belongs to the seals and oil seals range we supply to plants and workshops.

The part carries the DBH brand name and the code 1310, which is what you quote or search with. Its stated figures are a housing diameter of 80 mm, a height of 12 mm and the A 378 design. On the product page the shaft diameter appears as 0 mm, so confirm that value against the manufacturer's technical data sheet before you commit to the order.

A 378 tells you what kind of seal you are holding: a sealing lip backed by a spring, intended for rotating shafts that run with lubrication. That combination is what allows it to hold oil or grease in place while turning.

You will run into seals of this type on gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors, spindles and transmissions. Their job inside those assemblies is to keep the lubricant where it belongs and to shut out dust, water and particles. Where there is vibration or moderate temperature, the right seal keeps leaks away and limits wear on the bearings and the shaft itself. Expect to replace it as part of routine maintenance.

Fitting one is mostly about preparation. The housing bore and the shaft should be clean and free of burrs. Put the same oil or grease the equipment uses on the lip, then seat the seal with a press or a proper driver, keeping the force even around the outer diameter. Do not hit the lip or the spring. If the shaft is worn, an auxiliary lip version may be the better choice, and shaft-to-housing alignment has to be right or the seal will not hold.
