Part number 8994 belongs to the DBH line of radial shaft seals. It is a lip seal that sits on the shaft and works against the housing bore, holding lubricant in and keeping dust, water and other particles out. With a 110 mm shaft, a 135 mm housing and a 12 mm height, it fits medium and larger rotating equipment such as gearboxes, pumps and electric motors.

Reading the code: 8994 is the reference you quote when ordering, and the three figures that follow describe the fit. Shaft 110 mm, housing 135 mm, height 12 mm. The Lx designation identifies a single sealing lip on a metal body, a common choice for rotating shafts running on oil or grease. Keeping those three dimensions and the Lx design together makes it straightforward to match the part against a catalog listing or a competing reference.

Seals in this size range turn up in gear reducers, centrifugal pumps, induction motors and transmission assemblies, where their job is to keep lubricant where it belongs and stop contaminants from reaching bearings and gears. Fan shafts, mixer shafts and conveyor shafts under continuous rotation are other typical locations, especially where dust or moisture is present.

Installation notes: check the shaft for burrs or a worn track and confirm the sealing surface is smooth. The housing bore should be clean and undistorted. Coat the lip with lubricant before pressing the seal in, and use a driver that applies even pressure on the outer ring. If the shaft track is already worn, an auxiliary lip version is worth considering. Speed, temperature and lubricant type all feed into the final selection.

Need a cross-reference? Send the code 8994 together with your shaft and housing measurements. If the Lx design does not suit the equipment, we can look at options in other lines and brands. A photo of the part plus the mounting data is usually enough for us to point you to the right choice.
