Part 5960 from DBH is a radial shaft seal built to hold grease and oil inside a housing while keeping dust, water and other contaminants out. It fits a shaft measuring 44.85 mm, a bore of 72.03 mm and a 7.14 mm height, so it suits assemblies where room around the shaft is limited. MR supplies this seal as part of its seals and oil seals line for maintenance work across the US and Latin America.

Reading the number helps when you order. The code 5960 identifies the size, while the Mz designation describes the lip and outer case design. In metric terms the seal covers a shaft of 44.85 mm (d), a housing bore of 72.03 mm (D) and a width of 7.14 mm (h). Those three figures are what a maintenance planner should compare against the old part before sending a request.

The elastomer lip resists contact with oils and greases, forming a barrier at the point where the shaft leaves the housing. That barrier keeps lubricant where it belongs and stops particles from reaching the bearing cavity. Equipment such as gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, reducers and transmission systems commonly relies on this type of seal, and the same applies in food, chemical and metallurgical plants where clean lubrication matters.

Installation decides how well the seal performs. Check that the shaft and bore match the figures above, that the shaft surface is smooth and free of burrs, and that the housing is clean and undamaged. Apply lubricant to the lip, then press the seal in squarely so it sits perpendicular to the shaft. If the application runs at elevated speed or temperature, ask which lip materials are available.

When the original seal is hard to source, send the code 5960 or the measured dimensions and the team will review the seals and oil seals line for a match, or suggest a similar model that can be adapted. Bearings, housings and other power transmission components can be quoted on the same request to complete the job.

Quotes are handled by WhatsApp or email. Share the part number and any details about the equipment, and the team will reply with the technical information needed to confirm the right seal for the shaft.
