The DBH 5497 is a radial shaft seal that keeps oil or grease inside a housing and keeps dust and water out where a shaft rotates. Its Mz design uses a sealing lip with a metal body. You will find this size in gear reducer boxes, pumps, electric motors and low- to medium-power transmissions, and it is identified by part number 5497.
The three dimensions that define this seal are shaft 12.7 mm, housing 28.55 mm and height 6.35 mm. The seal presses into the housing bore while the lip runs against the shaft, so those three figures are what you compare when matching a replacement. A small difference in any of them can lead to a loose fit, a hard install or a leak.
The Mz designation describes the construction: a sealing lip combined with a metal body. That arrangement holds lubricant in and blocks contaminants on rotating shafts. Because the seal is a direct replacement part, the part number 5497 and the dimensions are enough to identify it without pulling additional data.
Common mounting points include gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and power transmission equipment, as well as machine tools, conveyors and hydraulic systems where a shaft turns inside a lubricant-filled housing. The compact envelope suits tight spaces and small-diameter shafts.
During installation, confirm the shaft and housing are clean and free of burrs or scratches, and lubricate the lip before you seat it. The seal should go in perpendicular, without hammer blows that distort the metal body. If the shaft shows wear or the housing runs to special tolerances, tell us when you request the quote so we can review the case with you.
