The DBH 9166/85 is a radial shaft seal built for rotating shafts. It keeps lubricant where it belongs, inside the housing, and blocks dust and water from reaching bearings and gears. Its size is written into the designation: shaft 24 mm, housing 36.50 mm, width 8.50 mm, with an A 016 design. Maintenance teams order this seal as a replacement for industrial equipment, and MR Industrial Accessories supplies the brand.

Read the numbers in order and you have the fit. The 24 mm figure is the inner diameter, the seat for the shaft where the lip rides. The 36.50 mm figure is the outer diameter, matched to the bore. The 8.50 mm figure is the overall height. The A 016 designation describes a particular construction layout, here a sealing lip paired with a spring that keeps steady contact against the shaft. Elastomers resist oils and greases, and a metal case holds the shape of the seal.

You will find seals of this type in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, compressors and gear transmissions. They also show up in power transmission equipment such as bearing housings and pulleys. The job is the same everywhere: hold the lubricant in, keep particles out, and let bearings and gears reach their expected service life. On plant floors they sit in production lines, conveyors and continuous process machinery.

Selection starts with matching the seal to the shaft and the housing. The shaft surface should be ground, free of marks and hard enough to avoid early wear. The bore needs an entry chamfer so the lip survives installation. Lubricate the lip first, then press with a tool that applies even force. When replacing an existing seal, compare design and material before committing.
