The DBH 5260 is a radial shaft seal that keeps lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating equipment. It fits a 20 mm shaft, a 38 mm housing bore, and has a 7 mm height, with an Lx lip profile. This seal is commonly used in pumps, motors, gear reducers, and power transmission assemblies. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it as part of its seals and oil seals line.

The code DBH 5260 tells you the size: shaft 20 mm, housing 38 mm, height 7 mm. The Lx design refers to a single sealing lip with a profile made for rotating shafts. The seal combines an elastomer lip with a metal case, which holds its shape and resists wear. It works on the shaft surface, not on flat faces.

You will find this seal in centrifugal pumps, low and medium power electric motors, reducers, gearboxes, and belt or chain drives. It also appears in machine tools, industrial washing equipment, and irrigation systems. In each case, it holds oil or grease in place and blocks dust, water, and particles from reaching bearings and gears.

When selecting a replacement, match all three dimensions to your equipment: shaft, housing, and height. The shaft should be ground and free of grooves or burrs; a rough surface will wear the lip faster. Before installation, lubricate the lip with the same oil or grease used in service. Use a proper installation tool to avoid damaging the sealing edge, and set the seal perpendicular to the shaft, flush or slightly recessed in the housing.

If you need an equivalent, send the complete code from the old part or from your equipment data sheet. With that, we can identify the DBH designation or suggest a compatible alternative. We can also help if the housing diameter is slightly different or if the shaft is worn and a repair size is needed.
