The DBH 6836 is a radial shaft seal built for a 73.20 mm shaft running inside a 101.67 mm housing bore, with an overall height of 16.30/19.40 mm. Its A 140 design uses a metal case and a sealing lip to hold oil or grease in place and keep dust and dirt out of rotating assemblies. You will find this type of seal in gearboxes, pumps, motors and other industrial machines. MR supplies this brand and can help you confirm the correct seal for your equipment.

Reading the code and dimensions: the 6836 identifies the seal, while the three figures describe the fit. Shaft 73.20 mm, housing 101.67 mm, width 16.30/19.40 mm. The two width values indicate the seal has an additional lip, often a dust lip, so the height is not a single measurement. The A 140 design refers to the lip and case arrangement used to retain lubricant and block contaminants during continuous rotation. Match these figures to your equipment before ordering, because even a small difference changes how the seal seats and performs.

Where it is used: this seal suits gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and transmission equipment. In each case it sits between a turning shaft and a fixed housing, keeping lubricant on one side and the environment on the other. The A 140 design works well at moderate speeds and at temperatures within the normal range for standard elastomers. If your application involves heavy vibration, pressure or aggressive media, ask us about a variant better suited to those conditions.

Installation notes: clean the shaft and housing and check for burrs, nicks or scratches. Apply the same oil or grease used in the machine to the seal lip before fitting. Press the seal in squarely using a tube or press that contacts the outer diameter, and avoid hitting the lip. The 16.30/19.40 mm height means there is an auxiliary lip, so follow the correct orientation relative to lubricant flow. If the shaft surface is worn, a repair sleeve may be the better route.

Getting a quote: send the code 6836 or the shaft and housing dimensions. We can search other brands or series for a compatible size while keeping the same design and lip type. We also advise on tight mounting spaces or on seals for high temperatures and aggressive fluids. Reach us on WhatsApp or by email and the team will reply promptly with options.
