For rotating shafts that need reliable lubricant retention, the DBH 5238 oil seal provides a single-lip radial shaft sealing solution. It fits a 54 mm shaft, a 68 mm housing bore, and a 10.50 mm width, and follows the Lx design with a spring-loaded lip. This seal is commonly found in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, and power transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you match the seal to your operating conditions.

The 5238 designation identifies a DBH radial shaft seal with an Lx design. In the Lx configuration, a single lip with a spring works against the shaft to keep lubricant in and contaminants out. The three critical dimensions are: shaft diameter (d) 54 mm, housing diameter (D) 68 mm, and height (h) 10.50 mm. Note that these are metric values, not inch equivalents. If you need to verify lip material, tolerances, or temperature limits, have the part number ready when you contact us.

Seals of this size are used in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, conveyor rollers, and belt or chain drives. In each case, the seal protects bearings and gears by retaining oil and blocking dust, water, or particles. It can also work in environments with moderate dust or splash exposure, as long as the lip compound is compatible with the fluid and the operating temperature.

Correct installation matters for seal life. Check that the shaft surface is hard enough and free of burrs, scratches, or wear marks that could cut the lip. Lubricate the lip before sliding it over the shaft, and use a driver that presses on the outer diameter, not on the sealing lip. The 10.50 mm height must match the housing depth to prevent distortion. If the shaft is worn, an auxiliary lip may be a better choice. MR Industrial Accessories can advise on selection based on your operating conditions.

If part number 5238 is not available or you need a different size, send us the dimensions of the old seal: shaft diameter, housing diameter, and height. With that information we can search for an alternative in the DBH line or among other brands we carry. Sharing details such as fluid type, temperature, and speed helps us narrow down the options. Reach out on WhatsApp and we will respond with suitable choices.
