The DBH 9708 is a radial shaft seal in the Ks design, built to sit on a rotating shaft and close against the housing bore. It keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps dust, water and other particles out. With a 15.87 mm shaft, 28.50 mm housing and 12.70 mm height, it fits small-shaft equipment such as compact motors, pumps and gearboxes. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its seals and oil seals line.

Reading the designation: DBH 9708 is the part number, and Ks identifies the design. The three figures that matter for fit are shaft 15.87 mm, housing 28.50 mm, width 12.70 mm. In the Ks configuration the seal has one lip with a spring, which is what you want on a lubricated rotating shaft. The elastomer does the sealing, while the spring keeps the lip in contact with the shaft and absorbs minor misalignment.

Typical duty covers small electric motors, centrifugal pumps, gear reducers, transmission boxes and linear motion units, and it also shows up in machine tools, compressors and irrigation equipment. In every one of those cases the seal is what protects the bearings and keeps the assembly running as it should. Where oil or grease has to stay inside and contamination has to stay outside, this is the part doing that job.

Installation comes down to checking the fit first. Confirm the shaft is 15.87 mm and the bore is 28.50 mm, with a smooth finish and no burrs or nicks on either surface. Lubricate the lip before you press it in, and use a proper installation tool so the lip and spring are not damaged on the way through. The 12.70 mm width has to match the housing depth. On equipment that runs hot or fast, use a lip material suited to those conditions.

If you are replacing rather than reordering, send us code 9708 or simply the shaft, housing and height measurements, and we will look for an equivalent in the same series or in another brand we carry. It is also worth looking at the shaft itself: wear or a deep groove under the old lip will keep a new seal from doing its job, and in that case we can review repair options or a size change.

To request a quote on the DBH 9708 oil seal, send the part number through WhatsApp or by email. If you have the old seal or the three dimensions, include them so we can confirm the match before anything is installed.
