The DBH 5948 is a radial shaft seal built to keep oil and grease where they belong while keeping dust and water out of rotating assemblies. Its Mz configuration combines a sealing lip with a dust lip, and the seal presses into crankcases, covers and gearboxes. The size callout is shaft 30 mm, housing 56 mm, height 12.00 mm. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you match the right seal to the job.

The code 5948 belongs to the DBH line of radial shaft seals. Reading the size: d is the shaft diameter at 30 mm, D is the housing bore at 56 mm, and h is the height at 12.00 mm. In the Mz design, one lip holds the lubricant in and a second lip works against contaminants. A spring inside the elastomer keeps steady pressure against the rotating shaft.

You will find this seal in pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, conveyor rollers and other power transmission equipment. Plants in food processing, metallurgy and general process work rely on it where lubricant containment and cleanliness matter. It is also a common replacement during corrective maintenance on gear reducers and fan shafts.

Before pressing a new seal in, inspect the shaft for burrs or a worn track and make sure the housing bore is clean and undistorted. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment runs on. If the shaft shows a pronounced groove, a seal with the lip set in a different position may be worth considering. Speed, temperature and lubricant type all factor into the selection.

When you need an equivalent, send code 5948 plus the shaft, housing and height measurements, and a photo of the old seal if you have it. The shaft diameter and the fluid being retained are useful too. With that information, MR Industrial Accessories searches the compatible option among the brands we supply.
