The DBH 5882 is a radial shaft seal: it sits in the housing bore and its lip runs against the rotating shaft, holding lubricant in and keeping dust, water and other particles out. The designation covers shaft 54 mm, housing 72 mm, height 10 mm and an Lx lip and metal case configuration. This size turns up on a range of industrial equipment, so it pays to confirm the bore and shaft measurements before you send the part number for a quote.

Read the code first: 5882 identifies the item, and the three figures that follow in the size callout run shaft, housing, height. So the shaft seats at 54 mm, the housing bore measures 72 mm and the seal is 10 mm tall. Lx describes how the lip and the metal body are put together. This is a single lip seal for rotating shafts running with lubrication. Measure both mating parts with a caliper before ordering; a seal that is off on either diameter will not seat or seal correctly.

Typical locations are gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, rollers and power transmission units, wherever a shaft turns inside a housing and oil or grease has to stay put. The 54 x 72 x 10 size also shows up on older and imported machines, where it is not the most common bore. In those cases the DBH 5882 lets you replace the original seal without machining the housing.

Installation is straightforward when the surfaces are prepared. Clean the housing bore and the shaft, check for burrs, nicks or rust that could cut the lip, and lubricate the seal before pressing it in squarely. Shaft speed, operating temperature and the lubricant in use all affect how the seal performs. On equipment exposed to heavy dirt or vibration, a seal with an additional dust lip is worth considering, and a worn shaft can often be brought back with a wear sleeve. Our team can walk you through those choices.

Looking for an equivalent? Send part number 5882 or the dimensions 54 x 72 x 10 by WhatsApp or email. We can also search for a seal that matches your shaft and housing diameters but has a different height or another lip style. The more you tell us - dimensions, lubricant type, working temperature - the faster we can come back with a quote. If the exact size is hard to find, ask us.

To request a quote on the DBH 5882, message us with the part number and the quantity you need. We supply this brand and can advise on the application. Keep in mind that shaft and housing dimensions have to match; if you are unsure, send a photo of the old seal or the readings from your caliper and we will take it from there.
