The DBH 5238Sil is a radial shaft seal that keeps lubricant in and contaminants out where a shaft turns inside a housing. Its three key dimensions are 54 mm for the shaft, 68 mm for the housing bore and 10.50 mm for the height. The Lx design indicates a single lip with a spring, a common configuration for rotating equipment that runs with oil or grease. MR supplies this brand and can help you confirm whether this seal fits your application.
This seal carries the designation 5238Sil and belongs to the DBH line. In the Lx design, the lip is backed by a spring, which helps it maintain contact on the shaft. The dimensions to compare against your equipment are shaft 54 mm, housing 68 mm and height 10.50 mm. Before installing a replacement, check all three measurements on the shaft and the housing bore, because a mismatch in any one of them will prevent a proper fit.
Seals of this size appear in gearboxes, pumps, motors, mixers, conveyors and other machinery where a rotating shaft passes through a housing. Their job is to hold oil or grease in place and to keep dust, water and particles out. In dirty or wet environments, the lip and the shaft surface should be inspected more often, since abrasive particles can shorten seal life. If the area around the seal shows chips or grit, plan on checking it during routine maintenance.
Installation calls for a clean shaft with no burrs or scratches, and a housing free of old seal residue. Apply the same lubricant used in the equipment to the lip before pressing the seal in, and keep it perpendicular to the shaft as it goes in. A chamfer on the housing helps guide the part without damaging the lip. When selecting a seal, consider shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid being sealed; the Lx design is a starting point, but material options may vary with the application.
