The DBH 8944 is a radial shaft seal built to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of rotating equipment. Its designation covers a 55 mm shaft, an 85 mm housing bore and a 10 mm height, with the Lx configuration. Maintenance and purchasing teams order this seal by part number for gearboxes, pumps and transmission assemblies.

The code tells you the three dimensions you need to match: shaft 55 mm, housing 85 mm, height 10 mm. The Lx designation refers to a lip seal with a metal body that runs in contact with the shaft. Because the lip rides directly on the rotating surface, getting the size right and choosing a suitable lip material are what determine how the seal performs in service.

You will find seals of this size in gearboxes, reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors and other power transmission equipment. In each case the job is the same: hold oil or grease inside the assembly and block dust, water and particles from getting in. It is a wear part, so it comes up in both preventive maintenance and corrective work when a leak or lubricant loss appears.

Before installing a replacement, inspect the shaft for burrs or wear in the lip contact area and make sure the housing bore is clean and not deformed. The seal must match the shaft and housing diameters, and the height has to fit the space available. Keep the Lx geometry in mind when you substitute the part. If anything is unclear, send us the shaft and housing measurements and we will help you confirm.

If you need an alternative to the DBH 8944, the fastest route is to send the full code or the shaft, housing and height figures. With that information we can review options in our seals and oil seals line or propose a comparable item. Tell us the equipment and the working conditions, and we can also advise on lip type and material.
