The DBH 8972 is a radial shaft seal built for rotating shafts. Its three reference measurements are 70 mm at the shaft, 110 mm at the housing bore and 10 mm in height. Fitted into the housing and running against the shaft, the flexible lip keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps dust, water and other particles out of the assembly. Because it is a wear part, it deserves a look at every teardown: hardening, cuts or a lip that has lost its spring mean it is time to replace it.

This seal carries the DBH brand and the code 8972. Reading the number against the size table is straightforward: shaft 70 mm, housing 110 mm, height 10 mm. The Lx design is a single lip with a spring, aimed at rotating shafts that are lubricated from inside. The numeric designation also makes cross-referencing simple, since several manufacturers use the same figure. If you need the exact lip geometry or compound confirmed, we check it against the manufacturer's data before quoting.

You will find a 70x110x10 mm seal in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, conveyor rollers and other power transmission equipment. The job is always the same: hold oil or grease in, keep contaminants out. Agricultural machinery, road equipment and process lines where the shaft turns continuously in dusty or humid conditions are common homes for this size as well.

Installation rewards a little care. The housing bore should be clean, free of burrs and machined to the right tolerance for a press fit. Lubricate the lip before pressing it in, and make sure the shaft surface it runs on has no splines or deep marks. Speed, operating temperature and the fluid being retained all influence selection. If the old seal died from heat or abrasion, it may be worth reviewing the compound or stepping up to a design with an auxiliary lip.

Send the shaft, housing and height measurements along with a photo of the old seal. With that we search for the equivalent in DBH or in another brand we carry, and we can also advise whether the Lx design suits your application or whether a different lip style would serve you better.
