The DBH 8496/85 is a radial shaft seal built to the A 147 design. Its job is straightforward: hold lubricant where it belongs and keep dust, water and other contaminants out of rotating assemblies. You will find seals of this type in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and reducers, where a shaft turns inside a bore and the sealing lip rides against it through long running hours. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you match the right seal to your equipment.

The reference 8496/85 comes from DBH and follows the A 147 design, which sets the profile of the sealing lip together with the metal case. The seal presses into a cylindrical housing bore and works against the rotating shaft. Reading the code and the design together tells you what geometry you are dealing with before you ever pull the old part.

Where does a seal like this normally sit? Gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and transmission units are the common homes. In each case the duty is the same: keep the oil or grease in, keep grit and moisture out. Machine tools and process equipment with continuously turning shafts also rely on this kind of seal to stretch maintenance intervals.

Before ordering, line up three figures with the seal you are replacing: the shaft diameter, the housing bore and the cavity width. The lip should be coated with lubricant and free of nicks, and pressing it in with a proper driver keeps the body from distorting. Shaft speed, running temperature and the lubricant in use all shape how long the seal lasts. When any of that is unclear, send us the details of your equipment.

Looking for a cross-reference? Give us the number 8496/85, or simply the shaft and bore dimensions. We can search within the same brand or among the other lines we carry, keeping the dimensions and design intact. Diameters, width, lubricant type and operating conditions all help us narrow the options faster.
