A lip seal of the DBH line, the 6116 closes off the point where a rotating shaft leaves a lubricated housing. It measures 31.75 mm at the shaft, 44.50 mm at the housing bore and 6.35 mm across, which puts it in the range of small pumps and compact transmission units. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it as part of its seals and oil seals range.

Reading the code: 6116 is the DBH reference for this standard-section seal, and the Lx build tells you what is inside. That means one sealing lip, a metal outer case and an elastomeric lip, a combination meant for rotating shafts that run with permanent lubrication. The three figures that matter when you order are shaft 31.75 mm, housing 44.50 mm and width 6.35 mm.

Where it works: gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and similar transmission equipment all have shafts passing through a lubricated cavity. The same seal turns up in agricultural machinery, material handling and process lines. It does two jobs at once, holding oil or grease inside and keeping dust, water and particles away from the bearings and gears.

Fitting notes: the shaft should be clean and free of burrs or scoring, and the lip gets a light film of lubricant before it slides into place. The bore needs a ground, undamaged sealing surface. Because 6.35 mm is the axial room the seal takes up, check the cover or the seal you are removing against that same figure. A worn shaft can be handled by positioning the lip on a fresh track.

Finding a match: give us the code 6116, or simply the three dimensions of the seal in service. With that we check the DBH line and the other brands we carry for the closest fit, and we will tell you if the Lx design is not what your application calls for.
