The DBH 8153Sil is a radial shaft seal that keeps lubricant contained and blocks outside contaminants from reaching the bearing area. Its Lx design uses a single lip with a spring, and it fits a 55 mm shaft, an 85 mm housing bore and a 12 mm width. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this DBH reference and quotes it by part number through WhatsApp or email.

Reading the code helps when you are matching a replacement. The 8153Sil number defines both the size and the lip style inside the DBH line, while Lx tells you it is a single-lip, spring-loaded seal for rotating shafts that run with lubrication. The metal outer case presses into the housing, and the lip rides against the shaft.

In the field, this seal shows up in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, reducers and other transmission equipment. Its job is the same in every case: hold oil or grease in and keep dust, water and particles out. Machine tools, conveyors and process equipment with shafts supported on bearings also use this size, which is common on medium-sized assemblies.

Installation is straightforward if the bore and shaft are in good condition. Check that the shaft measures 55 mm with no burrs or score marks, and that the housing is clean and round. Lubricate the lip, then press the seal in squarely using a tube or press that contacts only the outer diameter. Do not strike the lip. A worn shaft may call for a repair sleeve.

When selecting a seal, speed, temperature and the type of lubricant all matter. If you are unsure, send us your equipment details.
