The DBH 8797Vit is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant inside a housing and keep dust, water and particles out. Its designation covers a 35 mm shaft, a 50 mm bore and an 8 mm width, in the Lx-R design. Maintenance and purchasing teams order this seal by code for gearboxes, pumps and other power transmission equipment.

Reading the code: 8797Vit is the reference you send when requesting a quote, and the three figures that follow describe the fit. Shaft 35.00 mm, housing 50.00 mm, height 8.00 mm. The Lx-R design combines a main sealing lip with a secondary dust lip, so the seal suits positions where some contamination is present. The lip is elastomer, while the outer body pairs rubber with a metal insert to hold the bore. Treat it as a dynamic sealing element, not as a load-bearing part.

You will find this size in gearboxes, electric motors, centrifugal pumps, transmission shafts and process equipment. Medium-power units such as agitators, conveyors and machine tools commonly use it. In planned maintenance it is a consumable: replaced at scheduled shutdowns before leakage starts. Keeping the code on hand makes reordering straightforward.

Before fitting, confirm the shaft measures 35.00 mm, the bore 50.00 mm and that 8.00 mm of width is free. Inspect the shaft for burrs or wear that could cut the lip, and lubricate the lip before pressing the seal in. Keep the lip orientation and rotation direction as in the original assembly. Choose the Lx-R design where dust or splashes are a concern; for high speed or pressure, check the selection with our team first.

For a quote, send code 8797Vit or the three dimensions. If you prefer, tell us the equipment and the position, or send a photo of the old seal, and we will look up a compatible option. Technical data is confirmed before quoting so the part fits the first time.
