The DBH 8696 is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating assemblies. With a 28.60 mm shaft, 38.10 mm housing and 6.00 mm height, it fits compact equipment where axial room is tight. The Lz designation points to a lip-and-spring construction made for continuous operation at moderate pressure and speed.

This seal carries the DBH brand and the 8696 part number. Its dimensions are shaft 28.60 mm, housing 38.10 mm and overall height 6.00 mm. The Lz design uses an elastomeric lip backed by a steel spring, so the lip stays in contact with the shaft as it turns. The thin cross-section suits assemblies with shallow housing depth.

You will find this seal on small gearboxes, electric motors, low-pressure centrifugal pumps, fan shafts and light transmission equipment. In each case it does two jobs: it holds oil or grease inside and it keeps dust, water and particles out. Those particles are what shorten the life of bearings and gears, so the seal matters. Its small size makes it a common choice where radial and axial space is limited.

To choose a seal like the DBH 8696, match the shaft, housing and height to the machined bore. The shaft surface should be ground and hard enough to resist grooving. When installing, coat the lip with the same oil used in the equipment, press the seal in squarely and never hit the elastomer directly. If the shaft is already worn, a repair sleeve is an option.

If you need an equivalent to the 8696, the quickest route is to send the part number, the dimensions or a photo of the removed seal. From that, the team can find a matching reference in another brand or series while keeping the same shaft, housing and height. Different lip materials can also be quoted depending on the fluid and operating temperature.

To get a quote, send the 8696 part number or the dimensions 28.60 x 38.10 x 6.00 mm on WhatsApp. If you are unsure about the Lz design or want to confirm fit, include a picture of the housing and shaft. That lets the part be checked before you order and helps avoid installation mistakes.
