A radial shaft seal from the DBH line, the 8883Pol keeps lubricant inside the housing and keeps dust, water and chips out. Its three key measurements are shaft 10 mm, bore 16 mm and height 4 mm, and the Lx design means a single lip with a spring for rotating shafts that run with lubrication. Because it is only 4 mm tall, it fits assemblies where there is very little room along the axis, such as small pumps, motors, gearboxes and transmission components.

Reading the code is the fastest way to confirm you have the right part. The 8883Pol number identifies this seal in the DBH catalog, while Lx tells you the lip arrangement: one sealing lip, spring loaded, meant for a rotating shaft with oil or grease present. Before you install anything, check that the shaft, bore and height on your equipment line up with the 10 mm, 16 mm and 4 mm values. When all three agree, the seal seats correctly and does its job.

Seals in this size range turn up in low-power electric motors, small centrifugal pumps, compact gearboxes, machine tool spindles and drive shafts, as well as refrigeration units and industrial washers. In each case the goal is the same: hold the lubricant where it belongs and stop outside contamination from reaching the bearing. The 4 mm height is what makes this seal useful in housings with a narrow axial pocket.

Installation matters as much as selection. The shaft surface should be smooth, free of grooves, burrs or scratches, and the bore should be clean and free of ridges. A light film of lubricant on the lip helps the seal slide into place, and pressing it in with a proper installation tube keeps it square. If the shaft is already worn, an auxiliary lip design is worth considering. Lip material should be matched to the speed and temperature the equipment sees.

For a quote or a cross-reference, send the code 8883Pol together with your shaft, bore and height measurements and the fluid being sealed. Details such as shaft material, operating temperature and speed help narrow the options, and if this design is not the right fit we can look at other lines.
