Part number 5962Sil is a DBH radial shaft seal in the Mx design, a lip seal that sits on the shaft and closes against the bore to hold grease or oil in and keep dust out. Its three key figures are shaft 54 mm, housing 73.02 mm and height 16.66 mm, a combination common in equipment built to metric dimensions. Gearboxes, pumps and motors with continuous rotation are the usual homes for a seal of this size.

Reading the number helps when you are matching a seal on the bench. The 5962Sil designation belongs to the DBH range, and the Mx design tells you the seal is built with a metal case and a sealing lip. The three measurements to compare against your old part are shaft 54 mm, housing 73.02 mm and overall height 16.66 mm. The 16.66 mm height matters in chambers where there is little room along the shaft and the lip still has to seat correctly.

Seals with these dimensions turn up in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors and power transmission assemblies where a shaft runs on bearings and lubricant has to stay in place. Mixers, conveyors and machine tools with medium-diameter shafts are other places you may find them. In every case the seal is the barrier between the lubricated side and the outside, keeping dust and water away from the rolling elements.

Installation decides how long the seal lasts. Inspect the shaft first: burrs, scratches or a rough finish will wear the lip quickly, so the sealing surface should be smooth. Coat the lip with lubricant before you push the seal in, and drive it square to the shaft using a tube or press that contacts the outer case, not the lip. Where the housing has a chamfer, follow that lead-in angle so the case does not distort. Whether Mx suits your job comes down to the pressure and speed the seal will see.

If you need a replacement, send the part number 5962Sil or simply your shaft, housing and height measurements. Our team checks the DBH line along with the other brands we supply and comes back with the closest match. We can also look at other design variants when Mx is not the right fit for the application.
