Part number DBH 8940 is a radial shaft seal in the Lx design. It seats on the shaft and in the housing bore, holding lubricant in and keeping dust, water and other particles out. The published sizes are shaft 60 mm, housing 80 mm and height 8.00 mm, which places it in medium-section shaft work. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its seals and oil seals range.

Reading the code: DBH identifies the seal family, 8940 is the item designation, and Lx describes the construction. An Lx seal combines a sealing lip with an outer metal body, so it presses into a bore and holds firmly, and can be pulled in a controlled way when it is replaced. The 8.00 mm figure is the height, meaning the depth of the cavity the seal occupies. Only these dimensions are confirmed for this part number; confirm anything else against the manufacturer's data sheet.

Where this size and configuration show up: gearboxes, speed reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors and power transmission equipment. Two jobs are done at once in these assemblies, keeping oil or grease where it belongs and blocking outside contamination. Machine tools, conveyors and process equipment with moderate shaft speeds and steady operating temperatures are other common locations.

Installation notes: check that the shaft and bore are clean and free of burrs or drag marks, and put lubricant on the lip before it goes in. Drive the seal squarely to the shaft, never striking the lip directly. A guide sleeve helps when the bore has a shoulder or chamfer. Selection comes down to shaft diameter, housing diameter, available height, rotational speed and the lubricant in use; those inputs determine the design and lip material.
