For equipment that relies on a rotating shaft, the DBH 8746/85 radial shaft seal keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps contaminants out. It fits a 32 mm shaft, a 40 mm housing bore and has a 5.00 mm overall height. Its Lx design pairs a sealing lip with a metal outer case that presses into the housing. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm the right seal for your application.

The 8746/85 falls under the DBH line of radial shaft seals. The Lx configuration means the seal has a flexible lip and a metal shell designed for press-fit installation. The lip contacts the rotating shaft, while the shell holds the seal securely in the bore. With a 32 mm shaft diameter, 40 mm housing diameter and 5.00 mm height, this seal is often chosen for tight axial spaces where a reliable barrier is needed.

You will find this seal in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and other power transmission assemblies. Its job is to stop oil or grease from escaping and to block dust, water and particles from reaching the bearings. It also appears in machine tools, food processing equipment and low-pressure hydraulic systems. Before replacing a seal, check the shaft and housing for wear or scratches, since damage there can compromise the seal.

When selecting a seal like the 8746/85, consider rotation speed, operating temperature and the lubricant in use. The Lx design works well at moderate speeds and on shafts without significant eccentricity. During installation, coat the lip with the same oil or grease used in the machine, press the seal in perpendicular to the shaft and avoid hitting it directly. If the shaft is worn, a seal with an additional lip may be a better choice. Clean the housing and shaft thoroughly before mounting to help the seal last.

If you need an alternative to the 8746/85, we can help. In some cases, a seal with a slightly different height or a different design may fit the housing and improve sealing. To find a match, send us the actual shaft and housing diameters, the lubricant type and the operating conditions. We can also source a seal from another brand if your application calls for it. At MR Industrial Accessories, we work with you to identify the right part.
