A radial shaft seal such as the DBH 6173Vit keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps contamination out. It fits a 25 mm shaft, a 43 mm housing bore and a 10 mm width, and its Lx design identifies a single lip with a spring. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and helps you match the seal to your equipment before you order.

The code on the box tells you most of what you need. Shaft diameter is 25.00 mm, housing bore is 43.00 mm and overall width is 10.00 mm. The Lx designation points to a single-lip seal with a spring, the configuration used to hold oil or grease in and keep dust, water and other contaminants out of a rotating assembly.

You will find seals of this size on gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and power transmission components. In every case the shaft turns inside a stationary housing and the seal does the separating work. Treat it as a wear item: once it starts weeping, or once the lip feels hard or shows cracks, plan on replacing it rather than trying to re-seat it.

Installation comes down to a few checks. Confirm the shaft and bore measure up to the stated values, make sure the shaft surface and hardness are suitable, and inspect the housing for burrs or leftover sealant. Lubricate the lip before you press the seal in, and use a tube or driver that contacts the outer edge only, so the lip is not nicked on the way in.

Lip compound and spring choice follow the operating conditions: temperature, shaft speed and the fluid being retained all matter. If you are unsure which variant fits your unit, share those details with our team and we will point you to the right option.

Need a replacement or a cross-reference? Send the code 6173Vit, or simply the three dimensions, through WhatsApp or email. We can locate a match within the same brand or another line we carry, keeping the dimensions and lip style intact, and we can also advise when the original uses a special build such as a double lip or a high-temperature compound.
