The DBH 5881 is a single-lip radial shaft seal designed to retain lubricant and block contaminants. It fits a 30 mm shaft, a 72 mm housing and has a 12 mm height. The Lx design features a single sealing lip with an outer metal case, suitable for rigid housings and rotating shafts. This size is common in gearboxes, pumps and transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this seal as part of its seals and radial shaft seals line.

The DBH 5881 carries the code 5881 and belongs to the DBH line. Its nominal dimensions are shaft 30 mm, housing 72 mm, width 12 mm. The Lx design means a single lip and a metal outer body. The lip contacts the shaft with slight interference, while the outside diameter presses into the housing for a static seal.

You will find seals of this size in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and power transmission equipment. Their job is to keep oil or grease inside and keep dust, water and particles out, protecting bearings and gears from premature wear. They also serve as a secondary barrier in washdown or splash-prone areas.

When selecting or installing a seal, confirm that the shaft and housing diameters match the part. Inspect the shaft for burrs or wear on the sealing track and ensure the housing is clean and free of dents. Lubricate the lip before installation. Press the seal in perpendicular to the shaft using a tube or spacer that contacts the metal body, never the lip.

If you need an equivalent, send the code 5881 along with the shaft, housing and height dimensions, or a photo of the old part next to a caliper. Our team reviews alternatives within the DBH line and other brands we carry, and confirms which option fits without modifying the housing.

MR Industrial Accessories supplies seals and radial shaft seals alongside bearings, housings, power transmission components and lubricants. This means we can help you with the complete assembly, not just the individual part. Send the code 5881 or the dimensions via WhatsApp or email for a quote.
