The DBH 9176/85 is a radial shaft lip seal that sits between a rotating shaft and a stationary housing. Its job is to hold lubricant in and keep dust, water and other particles out. Because it is thin, it suits small gearboxes, electric motors, pumps and power transmission equipment where there is little room along the shaft. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you select the right seal for the application.

This seal belongs to the DBH line and carries the code 9176/85. Its geometry is defined by three measurements: shaft 36 mm, housing 44 mm, height 5.00 mm. The Lx design identifies a thin-section seal made for small-diameter bores, so it seats fully without standing proud of the housing. The lip contacts the shaft while the outer case is held by the housing, and together they form the sealing gap.

Seals of this size appear in small electric motors, gear reducers, centrifugal pumps, compressors, machine tools and power transmission assemblies. In each case the purpose is the same: retain oil or grease inside the unit and block contaminants that would otherwise shorten the life of bearings and gears. It can also serve as a secondary barrier in assemblies that use a larger primary seal.

Installation calls for a shaft with the correct hardness and surface finish, free of burrs or scratches that could cut the lip. Apply the same oil or grease used in the equipment to the lip before fitting, and press the seal in squarely to the shaft without hitting it directly. If the housing bore is worn, a reinforced-case seal or a different size may be the better choice. Speed, temperature and the fluid being sealed all affect the final selection.

To find an equivalent, send the code 9176/85 along with the shaft, housing and height dimensions you have. It also helps to note the equipment where the seal is installed and attach a photo of the original part. With that information we review options in the same brand and in other seal lines we carry, and confirm which one fits without machining the housing.
