The DBH 8980 is a radial shaft seal, the type of lip seal that keeps oil or grease where it belongs between a turning shaft and its housing. Its sizes are 75 mm for the shaft, 112 mm for the housing bore and 12.00 mm for the height, with the Lx design. Gearboxes, pumps and power transmission units use this size to hold lubricant in and keep dust out. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its seals and oil seals line.

Part number 8980 belongs to the DBH line of radial shaft seals. Reading the size: shaft diameter 75 mm, housing diameter 112 mm, height 12.00 mm. The Lx design is a single lip with a spring, made for rotating shafts that run with lubrication. The elastomeric lip presses against the shaft while the metal case sits in the bore, so the seal holds by interference and keeps its sealing action as the shaft turns.

You will find this size in gearboxes, electric motors, centrifugal pumps, rollers and power transmission equipment. The job is always the same: stop oil from escaping and stop water, dust and particles from getting in, which is what wears out bearings and gears over time. Fan and mixer shafts exposed to ambient dirt also use it as a closure.

When selecting and fitting the seal, check that the shaft and bore match the 75 mm and 112 mm figures and that the housing width takes the 12.00 mm height. The shaft should be clean, with no burrs or deep marks in the contact area, and the lip should be lubricated before it goes in. Set the case perpendicular to the shaft and seat it evenly, without striking the lip directly. On equipment that runs with high vibration or temperature, look at the bearing and the lubricant as well.

For an equivalent, send part number 8980 with the shaft and housing dimensions. The original part number of the seal being replaced, or a photo of it, also helps. With that information we look for an alternative in the DBH line or in other brands we carry and confirm the option before quoting. If the housing width differs, a seal with a compatible height can be reviewed.

MR Industrial Accessories includes the DBH brand in its seals and oil seals catalog. To move forward, send part number 8980 by WhatsApp or email and we will reply with the quote for the confirmed size.
