When a gearbox or pump starts weeping oil around the shaft, the seal is usually the first suspect. The DBH 1405Vit is a radial shaft seal built to hold lubricant in and keep dirt out, sized for a 78 mm shaft, a 110 mm housing bore and an 8.50 mm height. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm it is the right fit before you order.

The 1405Vit designation belongs to the DBH line of radial shaft seals. Reading the size is straightforward: d = 78 mm is the shaft it rides on, D = 110 mm is the bore it presses into, and h = 8.50 mm is its height. The Lx-H-AH design pairs a retaining lip with a dust lip, so the seal works on two fronts at once, keeping oil or grease inside the assembly while blocking dust and grit from reaching the bearings and gears behind it.

You will find seals like this one on gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, conveyor rollers, mixers and machine tools. In shops where chips, dust or water are part of daily operation, the dust lip adds a barrier that helps the seal and the bearings last longer. Because the lip runs directly against the shaft and the outer edge seats in the housing, the three dimensions have to match the equipment exactly; a seal that is too tall will not sit in the cavity, and one that is too short will not stay put.

Installation matters as much as selection. Clean the shaft and the housing bore, put a light film of lubricant on the lip, and press the seal in with a proper driver rather than a hammer. Striking it directly can distort the lip or the metal case and cause a leak shortly after startup. The lip configuration also has to suit the lubricant in use and the conditions the equipment runs under.

If your seal carries different dimensions or you want to compare it against another brand, send us the 1405Vit code or your measurements. We can suggest equivalents and help you pick from our line of seals and oil seals. Having the code or the exact dimensions on hand speeds up the search.
