The DBH 5337 is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating shaft assemblies. It fits a 36 mm shaft, a 56 mm bore and a 10 mm width, and is pressed into covers, housings and gearboxes. The Lx designation describes a single sealing lip that runs against the shaft, with no secondary dust lip. Treat it as a wear item and replace it as soon as leakage appears.

The code 5337 belongs to the DBH line of oil seals. Reading the size is straightforward: shaft 36 mm, housing 56 mm, width 10 mm. The Lx version carries one reinforced lip, sized for moderate peripheral speeds and low pressure, and an internal spring keeps that lip pressed against the shaft. The elastomer compound resists mineral oils and greases.

You will find this seal on pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, conveyor rollers and other power transmission equipment. Its job is twofold: hold the lubricant where the bearings need it, and keep dust, water and particles from reaching the bearing cavity. Automotive units, machine tools and continuous-process lines use the same principle, where a shaft turns nonstop and any leak means unplanned downtime.

Selection comes down to three checks. The shaft must fall within the recommended tolerance, the bore must match in diameter and depth, and the surface speed must stay inside what the elastomer can handle. Because the Lx lip seals directly on the shaft, that surface should be smooth and free of splines. During installation, coat the lip with the oil used in the machine, drive the seal in square to the shaft with a support tube, and keep sharp tools away from the lip. Misalignment shortens seal life.

If you want an equivalent from another brand, send the code 5337 together with the shaft, housing and width measurements, a photo of the removed seal, or the assembly drawing. MR Industrial Accessories checks the designation against the manufacturer's data to confirm that diameters, width and lip style line up. When the Lx configuration does not suit the application, other options in the same radial seal category are available.
