The DBH 6816 is a radial shaft seal built to hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out of assemblies with a turning shaft. It fits a 95.2 mm shaft and a 9.80 mm housing height, and it carries the A 080 lip design with a spring. Because it is a wear item, oil weeping or dirt working past the lip is the usual sign that it is time to change it.

Reading the reference helps when you are comparing what is on the shelf with what the machine needs. DBH identifies the seal family, 6816 is the size code for this particular section, and A 080 tells you the lip style: one sealing lip with a spring. The two numbers that decide whether it will fit are the shaft diameter, 95.2 mm, and the height, 9.80 mm.

Seals in this size range show up in gear reducers, centrifugal pumps, motors, conveyor rollers and similar transmission equipment. The job is always the same: keep grease or oil where it belongs and block dust, water and particles from getting to the bearing. They suit shafts turning at moderate speed where the elastomer stays within its temperature range. Where vibration is heavy or chemicals are present, another compound may be the better call.

Installation decides how long the seal lasts. Look at the shaft first: no burrs, no score marks, and a surface finish suited to a lip seal. Lubricate the lip, then seat the seal square to the shaft so it sits perpendicular. Shaft diameter, housing height, lubricant type and rotation speed all feed into the selection. A grooved shaft will usually destroy a new seal in a short time, and in that case a wear sleeve or a shaft replacement is worth considering.

When you ask for a quote, give us the code 6816 along with the shaft diameter and the height you measured. A photo of the old seal showing its markings is a big help. From there we can look at an alternative in the same brand or in another compatible line, and if your housing is a different depth, a seal with another height can be reviewed. The more you send, the quicker we can answer.
