Part 8914 is a radial shaft seal from the DBH line, built to hold lubricant in and keep dust out where a shaft turns. The lip seal measures 52 mm at the shaft, 68 mm at the housing bore and 8.00 mm in height, which places it in gearboxes, pumps and mid-size electric motors. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand for industrial replacement and maintenance work.

Reading the code is straightforward once you know the layout. The number 8914 identifies the item within the DBH line, while the three figures that follow describe the fit: shaft 52 mm, housing 68 mm, height 8.00 mm. The Lx designation tells you the construction is a single sealing lip on a metal body, a common choice for rotating shafts that need lubricant retained and dust kept out. Keeping those three dimensions on hand makes it easy to cross the seal against other sizes in the catalog.

Typical service is any assembly where a turning shaft passes through a housing and lubricant has to stay inside. Gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, conveyor rollers and spindles all fall into that group, in process plants, factories and general maintenance shops. Because the 8.00 mm height sets how much room the cavity must offer, check the housing depth before you pull the old seal.

Installation rewards a little care. Inspect the shaft for burrs or a worn contact track and make sure the bore is clean and undistorted. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment runs on, then press the seal in with a tool that pushes on the outer diameter rather than the lip. The lip faces the lubricant side. If the shaft shows a groove where the old lip ran, look at a different size or a repair sleeve instead.

When you need a replacement for the 8914, the fastest route is to send the complete part number together with the shaft, housing and height measurements. From there we can search the DBH line or the other brands we supply for a compatible option. We can also help when the installation space is tight or when the original seal uses a special layout, such as a second lip or an extra spring.

DBH is one of the seal and oil seal brands MR Industrial Accessories carries. Send part number 8914 over WhatsApp or email and we will come back with the technical details and your quote, and we are glad to take questions on other sizes in the same series.
