Part number 6238 is a DBH radial shaft seal built for rotating shafts, where its job is to hold lubricant in and keep dust and water out. The size it fits is a 15.87 mm shaft, a 30.06 mm housing bore and a 6.35 mm height, and the Ls designation tells you it carries one sealing lip backed by a spring. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can walk you through the selection.

Read the three figures in order and you have the fit: shaft 15.87 mm, housing 30.06 mm, width 6.35 mm. The Ls layout means a single lip with a spring that keeps steady pressure against the shaft, while the elastomer body and its reinforcement resist wear and the oils normally found in industrial equipment.

You will find seals like this wherever a shaft turns inside a housing and lubricant has to stay put: gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and spindles, plus agricultural machinery and power transmission drives. Keeping the lubricant where it belongs protects the bearings and gears around it and cuts losses through leakage.

Before fitting one, confirm the shaft and bore are clean and free of burrs or scratches. Coat the lip with the same oil the equipment runs, then seat the seal with a proper driver, pressing evenly around the outer diameter. Shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid in use all belong in the selection, and a worn shaft may call for a seal with an auxiliary lip.
