When a gearbox, pump or motor starts weeping oil around the shaft, the DBH 6914 is the size to check first. This radial shaft seal runs with a 65 mm shaft, an 85 mm bore and a 12 mm width, and it carries the Lx designation, meaning a single lip with a spring. It keeps lubricant inside the housing and keeps dust, water and particles out of the bearing cavity. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you confirm the size or find a match.

Read the code and the numbers together. The 6914 identifies the item, while the three figures describe the fitting: shaft 65 mm, housing 85 mm, width 12.00 mm. The Lx suffix tells you the lip layout. Before you pull the old seal, measure those same three points on the equipment, because a seal that is even slightly off will not seat or will leak from day one.

Seals of this size turn up in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, spindles and other power transmission drives. The job is always the same: hold the oil or grease in and keep contamination out. Treat it as a wear part. A drip, a new noise or movement at the shaft is your signal to inspect it.

Installation is straightforward if you prepare the surfaces. Wipe the housing bore and the shaft clean, look for burrs, nicks or a worn groove under the lip, and coat the seal before you press it in. Shaft speed, running temperature and the lubricant in use all affect how the seal performs, and equipment that vibrates or runs out of alignment may call for a stiffer design.

To get a quote, send the code 6914 along with the measurements of the seal you are replacing: shaft diameter, housing diameter and height. From there we can check options in the same line or in other brands we carry. If space is tight or the shaft is worn, tell us and we can look at a seal with an extra lip.
