The DBH 5246 is a radial shaft seal that fits into a housing and seals against a rotating shaft, keeping lubricant in and contaminants out. It measures 15 mm at the shaft, 35 mm at the housing and 8.00 mm in height, with an Lz lip and body configuration. This makes it a common replacement item in pumps, motors, gearboxes and other power transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies it as part of its seals and oil seals line for maintenance teams across the United States and Latin America.

The seal carries the designation 5246 and is a single-lip radial shaft seal. It combines a sealing elastomer with an outer metal case that press-fits into the housing bore. The Lz design defines the specific lip and body geometry. When you read the code, the 5246 identifies the size and style, while the three measurements follow the usual order: shaft first, housing second, height third. Here that means shaft 15 mm, housing 35 mm, width 8.00 mm.

Seals in this size range show up in small centrifugal pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, compressors, fans and power transmission assemblies. In each case the job is the same: hold oil or grease inside the unit and block dust, water and particles from getting in. You will also find them on machine tool shafts and process equipment where radial space is tight.

Installation calls for a few checks. Confirm the shaft and housing diameters match the values above, look for burrs or wear on the shaft where the lip rides, and make sure the housing bore is clean and undistorted. Lubricate the lip before pressing it in and use a proper installation tool to avoid damaging the sealing edge. If the equipment runs with high vibration or temperature, verify that the elastomer suits the fluid and the operating conditions.

When you request a quote, send the code 5246 along with the shaft, housing and height dimensions, plus a photo or sample of the original seal. That lets us search for an alternative within the DBH line or among the other brands we carry. We can also tell you whether the Lz design fits your application or if a different lip type or material would serve you better.
