When a gearbox, pump or motor starts leaving a film of oil around the shaft, the lip seal is usually the first suspect. The DBH 9444 is a radial shaft seal sized for a 60 mm shaft, a 72 mm bore and an 8 mm width, built to hold lubricant in and keep dust, water and particles out. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can confirm the size and lip style before you order.

The code breaks down simply: the 9444 identifies the item within the DBH range, and the three figures give the fit. Shaft 60.00 mm, housing 72.00 mm, width 8.00 mm. The Lx design is a single lip with a spring, which means it is meant for a lubricated rotating shaft rather than a dry running position. The lip rides on the shaft while the metal outer case presses into the bore, and together they form the barrier.

You will find this type of seal in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, rollers and other transmission equipment where oil or grease has to stay where it belongs. Machine tools, conveyors and process lines use it as well. Treat it as a wear item. In time the lip stiffens or picks up a mark and the weeping starts, which is the point where bearings and gears begin to suffer.

Installation decides how long the seal lasts. The shaft should be clean and free of burrs or deep grooves, and the lip gets a light film of lubricant before it slides into place. Press the seal in square to the shaft, using even pressure rather than hammer blows that distort the case. Before fitting, confirm shaft, bore and width against the old part. A scored shaft can often be brought back with a repair sleeve.

If the 9444 code does not come up, or the size is different, send the measurements taken from the old seal or a photo of it. At MR Industrial Accessories we compare lip type, design and material against the manufacturer's data to propose a workable equivalent, including other sizes in the same DBH line when that is the better route.

Quotes are handled by WhatsApp or email. Send the 9444 code or the 60 x 72 x 8 mm figures and we confirm the size, then look for the correct replacement if something else is needed. Seals and oil seals are part of what MR Industrial Accessories supplies so equipment keeps running without leaks.
