The DBH 8288 is a radial shaft seal built to hold lubricant inside a rotating assembly and keep dust, water and other contaminants out. Its three key measurements are a 54 mm shaft, a 65 mm housing bore and a 13.00 mm overall height, so it fits where axial room is tight. The lip is an elastomer grade suited to oils and greases, and the Mx designation points to a defined lip geometry. Treat it as a wear item: once it starts weeping or making noise, plan the replacement.

Reading the code helps you order the right part. DBH identifies the seal line, 8288 is the item reference, and the Mx suffix describes how the sealing lip is shaped. That lip geometry may include a garter spring that keeps steady pressure against the shaft. This is a dynamic seal for rotating service, not a static gasket, so it is selected by shaft and bore fit rather than by face dimensions alone.

You will find seals of this type in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, compressors and power transmission equipment. They do two jobs at once: they stop oil or grease from migrating out past the bearing, and they block dust, water and particles from working their way in. On shafts running at moderate speed with controlled temperatures, a correctly fitted seal of this kind gives dependable service.

Before installing, confirm that the shaft and housing match the seal designation. Lubricate the lip first, and slide the seal over a conical protector so the lip is not nicked or rolled. Shaft runout and surface finish matter for how long the seal lasts, since a rough or scored shaft wears the lip faster. Check the bore for burrs as well, and press the seal in square to the shaft.

If 54x65x13 mm is not the size you need, we can look for a match in the same series or from another brand. Send the full code stamped on the seal, the shaft, bore and height measurements, and a photo if you have one. With that information we review the options and confirm a choice, and we can also tell you whether the Mx lip design suits your application.
