A radial shaft seal such as the DBH 8961 sits between a turning shaft and a fixed housing, holding lubricant inside and keeping dust, water and particles out. The code tells you the three measurements you need for mounting: shaft 60 mm, housing 100 mm, height 10 mm. Gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and transmission equipment all rely on seals of this type, and once one starts to leak the assembly has to come apart.

The item is a DBH 8961 radial shaft seal, code 8961, with an Lx design. Shaft diameter (d) is 60.00 mm, housing diameter (D) is 100.00 mm and height (h) is 10.00 mm. In practice, the Lx designation describes how the lip and the metal body are shaped. Check that the housing bore and depth match the seal, and that the shaft surface is free of burrs or scoring along the contact track.

Seals in this size range show up in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and power transmission equipment. Two jobs are done at once: oil or grease stays on the inside, contaminants stay on the outside. Industrial washing machines, mixers and conveyors also use them, since those environments tend to carry dust and moisture.

Choosing the right seal takes more than matching a dimension. Shaft peripheral speed, operating temperature and the lubricant in use all come into play, and the Lx design sets the mounting direction and lip orientation. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment runs on, seat it without impact using a flat tool, and if the shaft shows a groove or wear, a repair sleeve is worth considering.

To get a quote for code 8961, send the shaft, housing and height dimensions, or a photo of the old seal, or the housing drawing. Our team compares the designation against the manufacturer's data sheet to confirm diameters, height and lip type before quoting, and can suggest equivalents when needed.
