The DBH 8796Vit is a radial shaft seal that fits a 36 mm shaft, a 50 mm housing bore and a 7.00 mm width, built to the A 156-R design. Its job is to keep oil or grease inside a housing while blocking dust, water and other contaminants from reaching the bearings and gears. The compact section suits assemblies where axial room is limited. DBH is one of the seal brands MR supplies.

Reading the code is straightforward once you have the numbers. Shaft 36 mm, housing 50 mm, width 7.00 mm — in that order. The A 156-R designation describes how the lip and the outer case are shaped. The elastomeric lip rides against the rotating shaft, and the metal case is pressed into the housing bore to hold the seal in place and provide the static seal. Because the cross-section is small, this size is chosen when there is not enough depth for a taller profile.

You will find seals of this size in small gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, low-power electric motors, compressors and belt or chain drives. Machine tools, mixers and conveyors also use them whenever the shaft measures 36 mm and the bore measures 50 mm. In each case the purpose is the same: retain lubricant and keep out the particles that shorten bearing and gear life.

Matching the three dimensions is only the first step. Before you commit to a seal, check the shaft surface speed, the operating temperature, the lubricant being used and any pressure difference between the lubricated side and the outside. The A 156-R geometry should be kept if that is what the equipment came with. During installation, coat the lip with lubricant, press the seal in squarely to the shaft, and use a sleeve or installation tube so the lip is not nicked. Any burrs or grooves on the shaft should be addressed first.

If you are unsure of the reference, measure the shaft, the bore and the width with a caliper and send those three figures. A photo of the old seal or the code stamped on it also helps. From there we can locate the equivalent in the DBH line or in another brand MR carries, and confirm whether the A 156-R design or a compatible one applies. Different nomenclature does not necessarily mean a different size.
