When a rotating shaft needs its lubricant held in and outside contamination kept out, the DBH 8911Vit radial shaft seal is the part that does that job. Its Lx configuration combines a sealing lip with a metal body. The size fits a 48.00 mm shaft, a 68.00 mm housing bore and a 10.00 mm height. MR supplies this brand and can help you confirm it is the right seal for your equipment.

The 8911Vit code identifies this seal within the DBH line. Reading the dimensions in order: shaft diameter (d) 48.00 mm, housing bore (D) 68.00 mm, height (h) 10.00 mm. That Lx design means a lip-and-metal-body build intended to retain lubricant around a turning shaft. Because DBH is one of the brands MR carries, questions about where it fits are welcome.

Gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, compressors and belt or chain drives are common homes for a seal like this. In each case it keeps oil or grease where it belongs and shields the bearings from dust and moisture. The 48x68x10 mm size suits medium-diameter shafts, so maintenance teams run into it often.

Proper installation starts with the shaft itself: confirm the hardness and surface finish are within spec, and make sure the housing bore is clean and free of burrs. Put a light film of lubricant on the lip before pressing the seal in, and seat it without hammering on the lip. When selecting, weigh rotation speed, operating temperature and the fluid being sealed. Send us your equipment details if you want a second opinion.
