The DBH 6197 is a radial shaft seal built around three key measurements: a 6.35 mm shaft, a 19.05 mm housing bore and a 5.55 mm overall height. Its job is to hold oil or grease where it belongs inside the assembly while keeping dust, particles and moisture out. Small mechanisms with tight axial room are where this seal earns its place, and it performs reliably at low and medium shaft speeds. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm the right seal for your equipment.

This seal comes from the DBH line and carries the code 6197. The Lt design means a single sealing lip with a spring, which is the usual choice for keeping lubricant on a rotating shaft. The lip rides against the shaft, while the outer case presses into the housing bore. Because the profile is compact, the seal fits neatly into small gearboxes, tools and similar assemblies where there is little room along the shaft axis.

You will find this size in fractional-inch equipment, which explains the 6.35 mm shaft and 19.05 mm bore. Shaft 6.35 mm, housing 19.05 mm, width 5.55 mm: check all three against your old part before ordering. Small electric motors, low-capacity pumps, fans, portable tools and power transmission units are common homes for it, along with packaging lines, farm equipment and centralized lubrication systems. In each case the goal is the same: no lubricant escaping, no contamination reaching the bearings and bushings inside.

Selection starts with the bore and shaft measurements, but the shaft finish matters too. A ground surface free of burrs and nicks helps the lip seat properly, and adequate shaft hardness limits wear. Press the seal in squarely with a proper installation tool, coat the lip with the lubricant it will see in service, and keep shaft and housing eccentricity to a minimum. If you are unsure, send us the code from the old seal or the shaft and housing dimensions.
