The DBH 8945 is a radial shaft seal built to hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out where a shaft passes through a housing. Its size is given as 62 mm for the shaft, 85 mm for the housing bore and 8.00 mm for the height, and it uses the Lx design. Gearboxes, pumps and transmission equipment are the usual places this seal turns up, and it forms part of the seals and oil seals line we supply.

Read the code first: 8945 is the designation from DBH, and the three figures that follow describe the fit. Shaft diameter is 62 mm, housing diameter is 85 mm and height is 8.00 mm. The Lx design is a single lip with a spring, which is what you want on a rotating shaft where oil or grease has to stay on the inside. The lip rides against the shaft while the outer diameter is pressed into the bore.

You will find seals of this size in gearboxes, reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors and power transmission assemblies. Mixers, agitators and continuous process lines also use them, since a working seal keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps the surrounding area clean. Treat it as a wear item and inspect it during every preventive maintenance stop.

Before fitting a new one, check the shaft for burrs or scoring and make sure the bore is clean and not distorted. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment runs on, then seat the seal with a flat driver so the lip is not rolled or cut. Speed, operating temperature and the fluid being sealed all affect which seal is correct, so confirm those values when they are not already on the product page.

Looking for an equivalent? Send the code 8945 together with the shaft, housing and height readings from your drawing or from the old seal. A photo of the part and of the mounting area is just as useful. From there we check options in the same series or with comparable characteristics so you can decide which one fits.
