The DBH 6172 oil seal is a single-lip radial shaft seal with a spring, used to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating equipment. It fits gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and power transmission assemblies. The dimensions are shaft 73.03 mm, housing 95.28 mm and height 12.70 mm, and it serves as a replacement part in industrial maintenance.

This seal carries the 6172 size designation within the DBH line. The Lx design refers to a radial shaft seal with a sealing lip and spring, built to maintain even contact against the shaft. The three dimensions to verify are shaft 73.03 mm, housing 95.28 mm and height 12.70 mm. When those match the old part or the housing drawing, it is a direct replacement.

You will find the DBH 6172 in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and transmission rollers. In each case it seals the point where the shaft passes through the housing, holding oil or grease in place while blocking dust and moisture. It is common in equipment running at moderate shaft speeds and at temperatures within the limits of the standard elastomer.

Before mounting, inspect the shaft and housing for burrs or marks that could harm the lip. Coat the lip with the same oil used in the equipment, then press the seal in with a support tube that contacts the outer diameter only, never the lip. When selecting a seal, consider peripheral shaft speed, operating temperature and how the fluid reacts with the seal material.

If you need an equivalent from another brand, send part number 6172 or the shaft, housing and height dimensions. A photo of the old seal or the housing drawing also works. The team cross-references the designation against available options and confirms which one fits your equipment. Quotes are handled by WhatsApp or email, with prompt replies and help choosing.
