The DBH 5831 is a radial shaft seal that keeps oil or grease contained and blocks dust and water from entering rotating equipment. It fits a 38.10 mm shaft, a 60.30 mm housing bore, and has a height of 15.87 mm. This seal is a common replacement in pumps, electric motors, gear reducers, and gearboxes where lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion are critical.
The designation 5831 identifies this DBH radial shaft seal. Its dimensions are shaft (d) 38.10 mm, housing (D) 60.30 mm, and height (h) 15.87 mm. The A 083 design refers to the lip and metal body geometry. It is a single-lip seal with a steel spring, designed for rotating shafts under permanent lubrication. DBH is a brand that MR supplies.
Typical uses include centrifugal pumps, electric motors, speed reducers, gearboxes, and transmission equipment. In these assemblies, the seal retains lubricant and keeps particles, water, and dust out, which helps extend the life of bearings and gears. It also appears on fan, mixer, and conveyor shafts, where operating conditions are often demanding.
During installation, make sure the shaft is clean, free of burrs and marks, and that the sealing surface has the appropriate hardness and roughness. Lubricate the lip before insertion and position the seal perpendicular to the shaft, using an installation tool that presses on the outer edge. If the housing has a chamfer, respect its angle to avoid damaging the lip. Selection depends on speed, temperature, and lubricant type; consult us if you have questions.
To quote an equivalent seal, provide the code 5831 or the shaft and housing dimensions. At MR Industrial Accessories, we can look for alternatives within the same radial seal category, always respecting dimensions and design. We can also advise on lip material and spring type according to the fluid and working temperature.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the dimensions of the DBH 5831 seal?
- Shaft diameter 38.10 mm, housing diameter 60.30 mm, height 15.87 mm, and design A 083. These are the manufacturer's data sheet dimensions for unambiguous identification.
- How can I tell if this seal replaces the one I have?
- Check the three dimensions: shaft, housing, and height. If they match your old seal, the DBH 5831 is compatible. Also verify lip type and material, especially for high temperatures or aggressive fluids. Contact us if unsure.
- What lubricant does this seal accept?
- The DBH 5831 is designed to retain oil or grease on rotating shafts. The lubricant must be compatible with the lip material, typically nitrile rubber. If you use synthetic oils or temperatures outside the usual range, let us know to verify the application.
