A radial oil seal such as the DBH 9437 keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps contaminants out. It seats in the housing and its lip rides against the rotating shaft. With a 36 mm shaft, 60 mm housing bore and 8 mm height, this Lx design fits gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and power transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this brand and quotes it by code 9437.

Reading the designation is straightforward: the three figures describe the bore it seals against, the housing it presses into and its thickness. For the DBH 9437 those values are shaft 36.00 mm, housing 60.00 mm and height 8.00 mm. The outer diameter is a press fit in the housing, while the lip does the sealing work on the shaft. It is a wear part, so it is normally replaced when a shaft turns inside an oil- or grease-filled housing.

Typical applications include gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and transmission equipment, along with machine tools, mixers and conveyors where bearings need protection from what is outside. In dusty, wet or washdown conditions, check that the lip design and the material of the seal suit that environment before you install a replacement.

Installation is mostly preparation. Clean the housing bore and the shaft, remove burrs or marks that could cut the lip, and lubricate the seal before pressing it in. It should sit square to the shaft, either flush with the housing or slightly recessed depending on the cover. When specifying a replacement, the three dimensions come first, followed by lip type, material and rotation direction where the equipment calls for it.

If you have the code but not the dimensions, or the dimensions but no code, send either one. We can match the seal from the shaft and housing measurements and suggest an equivalent when the exact size is not what you need. Seals, bearings, power transmission components and mounting tools are all part of what we supply to maintenance and purchasing teams.
