The DBH 8397 is a radial shaft seal built to hold lubricant inside a housing and keep dust, water and particles out. With a shaft size of 15.87 mm, a housing bore of 35.02 mm and a 9.52 mm height, it fits assemblies where mounting room is limited. Pumps, motors, gearboxes and transmissions are common homes for this seal. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand so maintenance teams can source the right part by number.

The part number is 8397 and it belongs to the DBH line of radial shaft seals. Read the dimensions in this order: shaft 15.87 mm, housing 35.02 mm, width 9.52 mm. The Lt designation tells you the seal has one lip with a spring, so it suits shafts turning in a single direction. The elastomer lip does the sealing against the shaft, while the metal case holds the seal firmly in the bore.

You will find this seal on centrifugal pumps, small electric motors, speed reducers, fan shafts and compact belt or chain drives. In each case it keeps oil or grease where it belongs and stops dust, water and debris from reaching the bearings inside. A worn seal that is not replaced can shorten the life of rotating parts and lead to unplanned downtime.

Installation matters as much as selection. Inspect the shaft first: burrs, grooves or heavy wear in the lip contact area will shorten seal life. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment uses, then press the seal in with a proper installation tube rather than a hammer. When choosing a replacement, check shaft speed, operating temperature and how the elastomer reacts to the fluid being sealed.

If you need a cross-reference, send the number 8397 or your shaft and housing measurements and the team can suggest equivalent seals from other brands. Alongside seals, MR Industrial Accessories distributes bearings, mounted units and housings, chains, sprockets, sheaves, belts, couplings and lubrication and maintenance tools, and manufactures split plummer block housings, roller chains and sheaves.
