DBH 8698 radial shaft seal — 55.1 x 82 x 10

DBH 8698 belongs to radial shaft seal, part of our Seals range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for 8698 and any equivalents.

The DBH 8698 is a radial shaft seal that presses into the housing and wipes against the turning shaft, keeping lubricant inside and dirt, water and particles outside. Its size — shaft 55.10 mm, housing 82 mm, height 10 mm — suits gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and transmission equipment where the seal has to run long with little attention.

In the DBH line, the number 8698 pins down one specific size. The seal has an Mt lip design: the outer diameter is press-fitted into the housing bore while the lip rides on the shaft. It is a radial section seal, so it is not interchangeable with an axial seal or an O-ring. Use the code DBH-8698 when you contact us so we can confirm the part.

Seals in this size range show up in gearboxes, reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and power transmission equipment. In each case the job is the same: hold oil or grease in and keep contaminants out, since grit that reaches bearings and gears shortens their life. It also works as a secondary seal where the shaft turns at moderate speed and dust or moisture is in the air.

Before installing, verify that the shaft and housing diameters match the values listed and that the shaft surface is free of burrs, nicks or wear. Clean the housing and check it for deformation. Coat the lip with lubricant, then drive the seal in with a flat tool that bears on the metal edge — never on the lip. A worn shaft may call for a repair sleeve rather than forcing the new seal.

If you are looking for an equivalent, send the code DBH-8698 or the three dimensions — shaft, housing and height — on WhatsApp. We check the DBH line and compatible alternatives and tell you which one fits your equipment. We can also help when the original seal carries a different designation or when the housing bore has been re-machined. The more detail you send, the more useful our answer will be.
