The DBH 8983Sil is a radial shaft seal designed to retain lubricant and block contaminants in rotating equipment. With a 75 mm shaft, 120 mm housing and 13 mm width, it fits gearboxes, pumps, motors and similar power transmission assemblies. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this seal as part of its line of seals and oil seals for industrial maintenance.

This seal carries the DBH 8983Sil designation. The Lx design is a single-lip, spring-loaded seal intended for rotating shafts under permanent lubrication. Dimensions are shaft 75 mm, housing 120 mm and width 13 mm. Because DBH is a brand we supply, the part number can be cross-checked against the catalog to confirm geometry and compound.

Seals in this size range are common in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and power transmission equipment. They serve two purposes: keep oil or grease inside the assembly and keep dust, water or particles out. When the seal runs on a worn or grooved shaft, evaluate the shaft condition before replacement.

Correct selection requires matching shaft diameter, housing diameter and width, plus lip type and compound for the operating temperature and fluid. Installation should be done with the lip lubricated, without damaging the spring, and with a tool that presses evenly on the metal case. Burrs in the housing or a groove on the shaft can cause a new seal to fail quickly.

To request a quote for part number 8983Sil, send the shaft, housing and width dimensions. With that information we can look for an alternative within the DBH line or from other brands we supply. We can also advise if the bearing or associated housing should be inspected at the same time.
