A radial shaft seal from the DBH line, the 8816 keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps dust, water and particles out of the housing. It fits a 38 mm shaft and a 62 mm bore, with an 8.50/3.00 mm height. Gearboxes, pumps, motors and similar rotating equipment are where this size normally shows up. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it for replacements and planned maintenance work.

The code breaks down simply: 8816 is the DBH item number and A 038 is the lip arrangement, a sealing lip paired with a dust lip. Shaft side measures 38 mm, housing side 62 mm, and the height is written as 8.50/3.00 mm. That split height means the outer case has a shoulder, so the seal seats into a counterbore instead of sitting flat, which helps it center and stay put under pressure.

Because the height is stepped, check the cavity before ordering. The 3.00 mm shoulder has to land in a groove or against the housing bottom; if the bore is plain and flat, the seal will not sit correctly. Confirm the shaft, bore and height against the equipment drawing or the old part, and note whether the shaft runs on a worn track.

Installation is straightforward but the details matter. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment uses, press the seal in squarely without hammering the lip, and check the shaft for burrs or grooves. On a shaft with visible wear, an offset lip or a repair sleeve may be the better route.

Applications follow the 38 mm shaft size: gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors, spindles and power transmission units, including agricultural and process equipment. The job is always the same, holding oil or grease in and keeping dirt away from bearings and gears, whether the seal goes in at rebuild time or during corrective maintenance.

If you need a cross or an equivalent, send the 8816 code, the shaft and bore measurements, and a photo of the part. Quotes go through WhatsApp or email, and the team can also help confirm the right choice when the original number is not available.
