For maintenance teams dealing with lubricant loss or contamination around a rotating shaft, the DBH 8981 radial shaft seal offers a standard solution. It is a single-lip seal that presses into the housing and runs against the shaft, keeping oil or grease in and keeping dust, water and particles out. With a 75 mm shaft, 115 mm housing and 12 mm height, it fits medium-sized pumps, gearboxes and transmission units. As a wear part, it should be replaced when leakage appears or the lip feels hard.

The DBH 8981 uses the Lx design: a sealing lip combined with a metal outer case for press-fit installation. Its dimensions are shaft 75 mm, housing 115 mm and height 12.00 mm. That size range is common in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, mixers and process equipment where radial space is tight but a dependable seal is required. It also shows up in agricultural machinery and conveyor systems.

In every case the job is the same: hold lubricant inside the housing and block contaminants that would otherwise speed up wear on bearings and gears. To choose the right seal, match the shaft diameter, housing bore and height to the original. The Lx designation tells you the lip shape and orientation; if the equipment sees heavy dirt or high speeds, it may be worth considering a version with a dust lip or a different material.

During installation, coat the lip with lubricant, check that the shaft is free of burrs and marks, and tap the seal in evenly until it seats at the bottom of the housing. To request a quote for part number 8981, send the shaft diameter, housing diameter and height. We will look for the equivalent in the DBH line or in another brand we supply, and we can confirm the design and material for your operating conditions.

How do I know if the Lx design is the one I need?
