A rotating shaft needs a barrier that keeps lubricant in and contamination out, and the DBH 8460 radial shaft seal does exactly that job. It fits a 48 mm shaft, seats in an 82 mm housing bore and measures 12.00 mm in height, with the Mx-R lip configuration. Gearboxes, pumps, motors and similar power transmission assemblies are where this size shows up most often. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it as part of its seal line.

Reading the code helps when you are matching a replacement. DBH 8460 is the designation to quote, and it maps to three figures: shaft 48 mm, housing 82 mm, height 12.00 mm. The Mx-R detail describes the lip and body arrangement built for ongoing rotation. Treat 8460 as a metric reference from the DBH family rather than an inch callout or a code borrowed from a different series.

Where does this size fit? Any assembly with a turning shaft that has to hold oil or grease while keeping dust, water and particles away. That covers gear reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, conveyor rollers and machine tools, as well as agricultural and general industrial equipment working in dirty or damp conditions. A 48 mm shaft paired with an 82 mm bore is a common combination on medium-sized transmission units.

Installation rewards a little care. Check the shaft for burrs, make sure the bore is clean and confirm the sealing surface is not too smooth or too rough. Lubricate the lip, then drive the seal in with a tube sized close to its outer diameter, applying force to the body and never to the lip. The 12.00 mm height has to sit correctly in the housing depth. On a worn shaft, a repair sleeve is worth considering before you press anything into place.

When you need an equivalent, the fastest route is to send the code and the three dimensions to MR over WhatsApp or email. The team replies promptly and can locate an alternative within the same family. Adding the lubricant type, operating temperature and shaft speed sharpens the recommendation. The more detail you share, the closer the suggested match will be.

This DBH seal sits within the MR seal and shaft seal range. If 8460 is not the size on your bench, forward the code or your measurements and the technical team will review what fits. Quotes are put together around quantity and the intended application.
