The DBH 6696Pol is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant in and contamination out where a shaft turns inside a fixed housing. Its 32 mm shaft, 50 mm housing and 8 mm height place it in a very common size range, and the Lz-R design means it uses a sealing lip with a spring. You will find it in gearboxes, pumps, motors and other power transmission assemblies. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand from Miami and helps you confirm the right seal for the job.

Reading the reference is straightforward. The part number is 6696Pol, and the dimensions behind it are shaft 32.00 mm, housing 50.00 mm, height 8.00 mm. The Lz-R designation describes a lip seal with a spring, made for rotating shafts that run with oil or grease. Keep those three figures handy: they are what you compare against the old seal and against any candidate replacement.

A seal in this size range turns up in speed reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors and similar transmission equipment. Its job is twofold: it holds the lubricant inside the housing and it keeps dust, water and particles from reaching the bearing or bushing. Treat it as a wear item. Once you see a leak, hear unusual noise from that area, or find the lip hardened, plan on replacing it.

Installation quality decides how long the seal lasts. Inspect the shaft surface for burrs, scoring or deep marks across the lip contact zone, and make sure the housing bore is clean and not deformed. Put a film of lubricant on the lip before fitting, then press on the outer diameter only, using a driver that keeps the seal square. Never push on the lip itself. When you select a replacement, factor in shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid involved.

If the number on your old seal differs from 6696Pol, that is not a problem. Send the part number or simply the three dimensions — shaft, housing and height — by WhatsApp or email, and we will compare them against the DBH line and the other seal options we carry. Tell us as well if the seal sits next to a bearing or a bushing, so we can help you confirm it fits the assembly correctly.
