The DBH 9165/85 is a radial shaft seal built around a rotating shaft. It keeps lubricant where it belongs, inside the housing, and blocks dust, water and other contaminants from reaching the bearing cavity. The three values you need to match are a 24 mm shaft, a 38 mm housing bore and an 8.50 mm height, which is why the seal presses into covers, gearboxes, pumps and motors. Getting it right matters for the working life of the bearings and gears around it.

This seal belongs to the DBH line and carries the reference 9165/85. In dimensional terms it is written as shaft 24.00 mm, housing 38.00 mm, height 8.50 mm. The A 016 configuration is a single lip with a spring, intended for rotating shafts that run with lubrication. The code 9165/85 is what appears on the manufacturer's data sheet, so it is the reference to use when you need an exact replacement. Watch the housing bore closely: a difference of one millimeter is enough to keep the seal from doing its job.

You will find this size in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, reducers and transmission equipment. Machine tools, conveyors and agricultural machinery also use it wherever a shaft turns inside a housing and oil or grease has to stay contained. Because it is a wear part, it is worth checking whenever a leak shows up or the bearing area starts making noise. In dusty or wet conditions the lip can harden and gradually lose its elasticity.

During installation, inspect the shaft for burrs or marks that could cut the lip. Coat the lip with the same oil or grease the equipment uses before you slide it in. Keep the seal square to the shaft and press it with a tube or spacer that bears on the outer ring, never on the lip. If the housing has a chamfer, follow that angle so the seal is not damaged on the way in. Speed, temperature and lubricant type all play a part in selection, so check with us if the original has a special design.

For an equivalent, send the complete code 9165/85 or the dimensions 24 x 38 x 8.50 mm. A photo of the part and the housing also helps. We supply the DBH brand and can point you to options within the same line. A seal with different dimensions will not seal, so confirm all three values: shaft diameter, housing diameter and height.

To get a quote for the DBH 9165/85, message us on WhatsApp with the code or the dimensions and we will come back to you promptly. If you want us to check whether it fits your equipment, or you have installation questions, send the details and we will help. Seals and oil seals are part of what we handle every day, so your machine keeps running without losing lubricant.
