A radial shaft seal of the DBH line, the 9496/85 keeps oil or grease where it belongs: inside the assembly, between a turning shaft and its housing. It is press-fitted into covers, crankcases and gearboxes, and it is identified by three measurements: shaft 15.00 mm, housing 35.00 mm, height 8.00 mm. Its A 100 design describes the geometry of the part, a sealing lip with spring in a metal case. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and helps you confirm that the seal matches your equipment.

Reading the code is the fastest way to check a replacement. The 9496/85 designation points to this specific seal, while the three figures that usually accompany it follow a fixed order: first the shaft diameter, then the housing bore, then the height. Here that means 15.00 mm on the shaft, 35.00 mm in the housing and 8.00 mm tall. The A 100 design refers to how the seal is built, with a spring-loaded lip and a metal case that holds it in the bore.

Seals of this type appear in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, reducers, transmission shafts and process equipment. Their job is twofold: hold the lubricant in and keep dust, water and particles out. In plants and production lines, that keeps the oil clean and protects bearings and gears from premature wear. A seal is a small, low-cost part, but it sits at a critical point in the assembly.

Installation calls for a few checks before pressing the seal in. The shaft surface should be free of burrs and wear at the contact area, and the housing should be clean and undistorted. The lip faces the lubricant side. If the shaft already shows a pronounced groove, it may be worth looking at another size or a seal with an offset lip. Speed, temperature and the fluid being sealed all influence which seal is right for the job.
