The DBH 8968 is a radial shaft seal used to keep lubricant in and contaminants out where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing. It is an Lx design with a single lip and spring, sized for a 75 mm shaft, a 105 mm housing and a 12.00 mm height, which makes it a fit for assemblies with limited axial space. MR supplies the DBH seal line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.

The code 8968 identifies this size in the DBH catalog, so it can be ordered without confusion. The Lx configuration combines a sealing lip with a spring and a metal body that seats by interference in the housing cavity. Key dimensions: shaft 75 mm, housing 105 mm, height 12.00 mm.

Typical installations include gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, transmission shafts and process equipment where oil or grease has to be separated from the surrounding environment. The seal also shows up in machine tools, conveyors and agricultural machinery. In every case the lip runs on the rotating shaft while the body stays fixed in the housing.

Before fitting, confirm the shaft is within tolerance and free of burrs, and that the housing bore and depth match the seal. Lubricate the lip prior to insertion and press it in squarely rather than striking it from the side. On a worn shaft, a seal with an auxiliary lip may be worth considering. Final selection depends on shaft speed, operating temperature and the fluid being retained, so those details should be confirmed before a quote is issued.

If you need an equivalent, send the code 8968 along with your shaft and housing dimensions. Alternatives can also be reviewed when the axial space differs or when the Lx design does not suit the application. With that information the team checks the manufacturer's data and comes back with the options.
