The DBH 8518Vit radial shaft seal keeps lubricant in and contaminants out where a shaft turns inside a housing. It measures 38.00 mm at the shaft, 55.00 mm at the housing bore and 8.00 mm in height, and it uses the Lx-H-H lip and body configuration. Maintenance and purchasing teams specify it for gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and other power transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm the right seal for the job.
The designation 8518Vit identifies this radial shaft seal within the DBH line. Read the code against the dimensions: shaft 38.00 mm, housing 55.00 mm, width 8.00 mm. The Lx-H-H design describes how the sealing lip and outer body are built, so the seal holds grease or oil on the rotating shaft while blocking dust, water and particles from the outside.
You will find this size in gearboxes and reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, drive shafts and process equipment. In a maintenance setting it is usually replaced during a teardown, alongside bearings and bushings, which makes having the part number on hand useful when the assembly is open.
Before fitting a new seal, inspect the shaft for burrs or wear and make sure the housing bore is clean and free of grooves. Lubricate the lip, then seat the seal square to the shaft rather than driving it in at an angle. When choosing a replacement, account for shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid being retained; a worn shaft may call for a repair sleeve.
If you need an equivalent or a different size, send the part number 8518Vit or the shaft, housing and height measurements. Telling us the equipment it mounts on and the brand of the original seal also helps. Quotes are handled by WhatsApp or email, and the team can suggest equivalents and assist with selection.
