When a rotating shaft needs to hold its lubricant in and keep dust, water and particles out, a radial shaft seal like the DBH 8901 does the job. This lip seal measures 42 mm at the shaft, 62 mm at the housing bore and 7.00 mm in height, and it uses the Lx design. Maintenance and purchasing teams use it on gearboxes, pumps, motors and other power transmission equipment. MR supplies this brand and can help you match the seal to your application.

The reference DBH 8901, designation 8901, is a single-lip seal with a spring. Read the size code as shaft 42 mm, housing bore 62 mm, height 7.00 mm. The Lx configuration is the standard arrangement for retaining oil or grease where a shaft turns. DBH is one of the brands MR carries, so this reference and its crossovers can be quoted together.

You will find seals of this type in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and machine tool spindles. In each case the seal keeps lubricant where it belongs and blocks dust, water and particles that would otherwise reach the bearings. Because a failed seal leads to oil loss and wear inside the assembly, it is a part maintenance planners watch closely.

Installation matters as much as the part number. Check the shaft for the correct hardness and surface finish, with no burrs or marks that could cut the lip, and apply the same oil or grease used in service to the lip before fitting. The housing bore should be clean and free of dents. Set the seal square to the shaft and press it in evenly until it seats. When replacing an existing seal, confirm both the dimensions and the lip type.

If you need a crossover, send code 8901 or the dimensions 42x62x7 mm on WhatsApp. MR can locate the reference that fits your equipment, from DBH or from another brand in the range, and can advise on the lip design that suits your speed and lubricant.
