The DBH 8856 is a radial shaft seal that keeps lubricant in and contaminants out of small rotating assemblies. It mounts in the housing and seals against the shaft, and its compact envelope suits equipment where shaft diameter and axial room are both limited.

The seal carries the DBH code 8856 and the Ls design, which means a single sealing lip on a metal body for grease or oil lubricated shafts. Its dimensions are shaft 6 mm, housing 11 mm and height 4.00 mm. The 8856 number belongs to DBH's sequence for small-section seals.

Typical uses are small electric motors, low-power gearboxes, laboratory centrifugal pumps, fans, portable tools and instrumentation. It also appears in light transmission mechanisms such as the gearboxes of household appliances and office machines, where it prevents oil leaks and protects the internal bearings.

Before fitting, check that the shaft surface is hard enough and free of burrs or marks that could cut the lip, and that the housing is clean and undistorted. Lubricate the lip with the same oil or grease used in the equipment, then press the seal in with a tool that bears on the outer ring, never on the lip. For high shaft speeds, consider a design with greater heat dissipation.

If you need an equivalent, the quickest route is to send the code 8856 or your shaft, housing and height measurements. With that information we can look for alternatives in the DBH line or in the other brands we carry, keeping the Ls design or selecting the one that fits your application.
