The DBH 5146Vit is a radial shaft seal designed to retain oil or grease and to keep dust and water out of rotating equipment. Its dimensions are 55 mm for the shaft, 72 mm for the housing bore and 10 mm for the height, and it uses the Lx design. You press it into place in crankcases, pumps and gearboxes. MR Industrial Accessories offers this seal within its industrial seals range, along with technical support to help you select the right size.

The seal's size is defined by three measurements: shaft 55 mm, housing 72 mm and height 10 mm. The Lx design means a single lip with a spring and no extra dust lip; the elastomeric lip does the sealing on rotating shafts. The code 5146Vit indicates the size and construction within the DBH line. This component is commonly replaced in equipment that runs with permanent lubrication.

Typical applications include gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and transmission shafts. You will also find it in process equipment, mixers and conveyors where lubricant must stay inside and contaminants must stay out. In every case, the seal runs on a machined shaft and sits in a housing with the correct tolerance. The 55 x 72 x 10 mm combination matches many standard industrial assemblies.

During installation, make sure the shaft is free of burrs and wear and that the housing is clean and undamaged. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease used in the equipment, then press the seal in with a flat-faced tool so it does not deform. When selecting a seal, consider shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid involved. For equipment with high vibration or internal pressure, it may be worth looking at a design with a reinforcement or a dust lip.

To request a quote, send the code stamped on the old seal or the shaft, housing and height dimensions. With that information we can find a suitable alternative from the lines we carry. We can also help if the original seal has a special feature, such as a double lip or a reinforced metal case, so the replacement does the same job.
