The DBH 5246Sil is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating equipment. Its designation covers a 15 mm shaft, a 35 mm housing bore and an 8.00 mm height, with the Lz lip configuration. Maintenance teams use it on gearboxes, pumps and electric motors. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and helps you match the right seal to the application.

Reading the code is straightforward: 5246Sil identifies the item within the DBH line, and the dimensions are shaft 15 mm, housing 35 mm, height 8.00 mm. The Lz designation points to a spring-loaded lip, the type normally chosen where oil or grease must be held back around a turning shaft. In day-to-day plant work this is a wear part, so its job is to shield bearings and shaft surfaces from loss of lubricant and from incoming dirt.

You will find seals in this size range on small centrifugal pumps, low-power electric motors, gear reducers, compressors and machine tools, as well as on power transmission equipment running at moderate shaft speeds where lubricant containment matters. Because it wears, inspect it at each maintenance stop and replace it when the lip hardens or leakage appears.

During installation, confirm the shaft and bore are clean and free of burrs or scratches. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease used in the unit, then press evenly on the outer diameter only, never on the lip. When selecting a replacement, account for shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid involved. High vibration or misalignment may call for a stiffer design or an auxiliary lip.

For an equivalent, send the code 5246Sil or the three dimensions and we will search alternatives within the same brand or other lines we carry. We can also tell you whether the mounting space accepts a different height or whether the lip type should change based on the contaminant present.
