The DBH 5966 is a radial lip seal built to hold lubricant in and keep dust, water and other contaminants out of equipment with a turning shaft. It seats in a cylindrical housing bore and rides on the shaft, separated from it by a thin film of oil. With a shaft size of 47.63 mm, a housing bore of 73.03 mm and a 11.90 mm height, and supplied in the Mz design, it fits the standard cavity used by many industrial assemblies.

The three figures that identify this seal are shaft 47.63 mm, housing 73.03 mm and height 11.90 mm. The Mz design refers to a lip-and-spring construction for rotating shafts that run with lubrication. Because DBH is one of the brands MR supplies, the replacement follows the same standardized envelope, which makes cross-referencing straightforward during a rebuild or a planned shutdown.

You will find this seal on gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, mixers, conveyors and process equipment, wherever keeping the lubricant clean matters. Its job is to protect the bearings and keep the assembly running as intended. It suits shafts turning at moderate speeds and working temperatures that stay within the range of the elastomer. Maintenance teams also fit it as a corrective replacement once a leak appears.

Installation calls for a clean shaft and bore, no burrs or scratches, and a lip pre-lubricated with the same oil the equipment uses. Press the seal in squarely with a proper installation tube rather than a hammer, so the lip is not damaged. When selecting a replacement, take peripheral speed, temperature and fluid type into account. The Mz design is meant for shafts that turn in one direction only, so tell us if your equipment reverses and we can point you to a suitable variant. Measure the shaft and bore before fitting.

If you need this seal or a cross to another brand, send code 5966 or the shaft, housing and height figures. MR can locate the alternative that matches your equipment and advise on the design that fits your lubricant and operating conditions. Variants in material or special configurations can also be discussed.
