Part number 8896 from DBH is a radial shaft seal that keeps oil or grease inside a rotating assembly and keeps dust, water and particles out. It sits press-fitted in the housing bore while a flexible lip rides against the shaft. Because it wears, lubricant weeping or contamination entering the bearing area means it is time for a new one. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm the right size.

Read the code before you order. The three numbers that matter are shaft 46 mm, housing 59 mm and width 9.00 mm. The design is Lx, a single lip with spring. Check the shaft where the lip runs, the bore where the seal is pressed in, and the space available for width. If one of them is off, do not force the fit; ask us and we will look for another option.

Seals in this size range show up in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, transmission shafts and bearing arrangements lubricated with oil or grease. You will also find them on conveyors, farm equipment and process machinery running continuously around dust or moisture. The job is always the same: hold the lubricant on the inside and keep outside contamination away from bearings and gears.

Installation is straightforward when the surfaces are prepared. Clean the bore and the shaft, and check the running surface for burrs or deep scoring. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease used in the unit, then press the seal in squarely with a tube or driver that contacts only the outer ring, never the lip. A worn shaft may call for a repair sleeve or a different size. Speed, temperature and the fluid being retained all affect selection.

If 8896 is not what you need, send the dimensions of the old seal instead: shaft, housing and height. A photo with a caliper beside the part also helps. From those figures we can match an equivalent in DBH or another brand we carry, keeping the same lip type and design. The original part number is not required; the measured housing and shaft sizes are enough.
