DBH 6089 belongs to radial shaft seal, part of our Seals range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for 6089 and any equivalents.

The DBH 6089 is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating machinery. It measures 97 mm at the shaft, 164 mm at the housing bore and 18 mm in height, and it uses the Kx profile. That design pairs a primary sealing lip with a secondary dust lip, so it handles moderate dirt without letting particles reach the sealing edge. MR supplies this brand and can help you confirm the size and compound for your application.

The code 6089 identifies this seal within the DBH line. In the Kx configuration, the sealing element sits on a metal outer ring and is pressed into the housing, while the lips run against the shaft. The main lip holds oil or grease; the dust lip works as a first barrier against dust, water spray and other airborne debris. This makes the seal a practical choice where the environment is not perfectly clean.

You will find seals of this size in gear reducers, centrifugal pumps, conveyor rollers, gearboxes and other process equipment with shafts near 97 mm. The Kx design is often selected for spots exposed to dust or splashing, because the extra lip keeps abrasive particles away from the primary sealing edge. It also helps where repeated replacement due to contamination is a concern.

When choosing a seal, consider shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid being retained. The lip compound and spring material need to suit the lubricant and the surrounding conditions. During installation, make sure the housing bore is clean, free of burrs and has the correct chamfer so the lip is not cut. Apply lubricant to the seal before pressing it in, and check that the shaft contact area has no deep grooves. Proper handling at this stage supports a longer service life.

If you need an alternative, you can ask for a seal with the same shaft diameter but a different height. Send the code 6089 or the dimensions 97 x 164 x 18 mm through WhatsApp, and include the shaft and housing measurements if you are unsure. The team can also review the Kx design and its variants for your specific equipment. MR works with industrial brands and helps you match the right option.
