The DBH 8220Vit is a radial shaft seal that keeps oil or grease where it belongs and blocks dust and water from reaching a rotating shaft. It measures 70 mm at the shaft, 88 mm at the housing and 12 mm in height, and its Lx-R design identifies the lip and body layout. Gearboxes, pumps, motors and similar power transmission equipment are the usual homes for this size. We supply it within our seals and oil seals range.

Reading the size: shaft 70 mm, housing 88 mm, height 12.00 mm. The Lx-R code describes a single lip with spring, a version built for lubricated rotating shafts. The elastomer lip rides on the shaft while the metal shell holds the seal in the bore. Because it is a wear part, it gets replaced once lubricant starts escaping or contamination gets in.

You will find seals of these dimensions in gearboxes, reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and other transmission equipment, always doing the same job: retaining lubricant and excluding contaminants. Agricultural machinery, food processing equipment and continuous-duty process lines also use them. Where vibration or temperature is high, checking the lip more frequently makes sense.

Installation matters as much as the part. Inspect the shaft first: burrs, scratches or a worn contact band will destroy a new lip in a short time. The bore must be clean and undistorted, and the seal should go in straight, never driven in at an angle. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment uses before fitting. If the shaft has a deep groove, moving the seal a few millimeters or fitting a wear sleeve may be an option where the design permits.

For an equivalent, send the part number 8220Vit along with shaft, housing and height dimensions and the lubricant type. That lets us search the DBH line or other brands we carry, or check whether another design variant suits the assembly better. The more details you provide about the equipment, the more precise the recommendation.

We carry DBH as part of our seals and oil seals line, alongside bearings, housings, power transmission components and lubricants. If you already have the part number, message us on WhatsApp with 8220Vit and the shaft and housing dimensions. We will quote it and help confirm whether it is the right seal for your application.
