The DBH 5816Sil is a radial shaft seal, also known as an oil seal, designed to fit a 10 mm shaft and a 22 mm housing bore with an 8 mm height. It keeps lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating assemblies, protecting bearings, gears, and bushings. As a wear component, it should be replaced when the lip shows hardening or damage, before leakage leads to equipment failure.

This seal belongs to the DBH line and carries the code 5816Sil. The code is specific to the manufacturer's numbering system, not a series name, so when ordering a replacement, provide the code along with the three dimensions: shaft 10 mm, housing 22 mm, and height 8 mm. The Lz design indicates a single lip with a spring, intended for lubricated rotating shafts.

Typical applications include small gearboxes, electric motors, pumps, fans, and transmission units where a shaft turns inside a housing and oil or grease must be retained. It also appears in machine tools, conveyors, and agricultural equipment. In operation, the lip contacts the shaft to form a dynamic barrier as the shaft rotates.

When selecting a replacement, confirm that the shaft diameter, housing bore, and height match the original seal. The Lz design defines the lip type and orientation; if the equipment sees heavy dirt or water, consider a variant with a dust lip. During installation, lubricate the lip, press the seal in perpendicular to the shaft, and apply force to the outer ring only, never the lip. Improper seating causes peripheral leaks.

To request a quote for the 5816Sil, send the shaft, housing, and height dimensions, plus a photo of the old seal if possible. With that information, we can source the equivalent in DBH or another brand we carry. We can also advise if a taller seal or a different design fits the available space, helping you avoid downtime due to a wear part.
