Part number 8244 is a DBH radial shaft seal sized for a 70 mm shaft, a 115 mm housing bore and a 10 mm width. It is a spring-loaded single-lip seal in the Lx design, so it holds lubricant on the oil side while keeping dust, water and particles out of the bearing or gear area. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its seals and oil seals range.

In service, the elastomeric lip rides on the rotating shaft and the spring keeps steady pressure against it, while the outer body sits with an interference fit in the housing. This makes the seal a wear item: with running hours the lip hardens or picks up marks, and sealing performance drops. Replacing it before leakage starts is common practice during scheduled overhauls.

Seals in these dimensions turn up in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, mixers and transmission equipment. Whatever the machine, the job is the same: keep the lubricated side separate from the outside. Where dust, chips or water are present, the seal stops the contaminant from reaching the bearing or gear, and it also keeps oil or grease in place. That is why it is a standard item in plant maintenance, factories and continuous process equipment.

Before installation, confirm the shaft is free of burrs, splines and wear at the contact area, since a scratched shaft can ruin the lip in a few hours. Coat the lip with the same grease or oil used in the equipment, then press on the metal body only, never on the elastomer. The housing bore must be clean and free of burrs. If the shaft has a deep groove, look at an offset-lip seal or a repair sleeve before fitting the replacement.

To obtain a quote, send the shaft, housing and width dimensions shown on the nameplate or drawing. With that information the team can search alternatives in the DBH line or in other brands the company carries. If the old seal has no readable identification, measure the shaft and housing with a caliper and send those values; that is enough to start the search. Quotes are handled by WhatsApp or email, and the team can also suggest equivalents and help with selection.
