A radial shaft seal from the DBH line, the DBH 6242 keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps dust, water and particles out of rotating equipment. It fits a 16 mm shaft in a 24 mm housing with a 3.50 mm height, and its Lt design makes it a practical choice where axial room is tight.
Reading the code is straightforward. The shaft runs at 16 mm, the housing bore measures 24 mm, and the seal sits 3.50 mm wide. The Lt designation points to a single lip with a spring, which handles rotation in either direction. The elastomer lip does the sealing work while the metal case holds its shape and resists wear, so the part drops into equipment built to these standardized dimensions.
Typical locations include gearboxes, electric motors, centrifugal pumps, compressors, and belt or chain drives, along with fan, mixer and conveyor shafts. In each case the seal shields bearings and gears from outside contamination and stops oil or grease from escaping, which helps the assembly last longer.
Installation rewards a little care. Clean the shaft and housing and check for burrs first. Apply the same oil or grease the equipment uses to the lip, then press the seal in squarely with a tube that contacts the outer ring only, never the lip. If the shaft surface is worn, a seal with the lip running on a different track is worth considering.
Need a replacement? Send the full code stamped on the old seal, or the shaft, housing and height measurements. We check our seals and oil seals catalog for the closest match and can point you to the right lip design for your lubricant and rotation speed.
