The DBH 5601 radial shaft seal is a lip seal designed to retain lubricant and exclude contaminants on rotating shafts. Its dimensions of 38.10 mm shaft, 47.62 mm housing and 4.76 mm height make it suitable for equipment where axial space is limited and a reliable seal is required. It is a wear part: when the lip hardens, cracks or oil leakage appears, it should be replaced to avoid greater damage to bearings and gears.

This item is a DBH 5601 radial shaft seal, identified by its designation code 5601. According to the product page data, it corresponds to a 38.1 mm shaft, a 47.62 mm housing and a 4.76 mm height. The Mt design indicates a single lip configuration with spring, intended for single-direction rotation applications. The sealing lip runs on the shaft and the outer case fits into the housing to maintain sealing.

Radial shaft seals of this type are used in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, compressors and power transmission equipment. They also appear in agricultural machinery, conveyors and hydraulic systems where oil or grease must be contained and dust and water kept out. Their function is to protect bearings and sliding surfaces, extending the service life of the assembly and reducing downtime for corrective maintenance.

To install a seal, check that the shaft has no burrs or excessive wear in the contact area, and that the housing is clean and free of deformation. It is advisable to lubricate the lip before inserting it and to use an installation tool that presses on the outer diameter, never on the lip. If the shaft shows a marked groove, it may require a wear sleeve or a seal with the lip in a different position. Selection depends on speed, temperature and the fluid to be retained.

If you need a nearby size or an equivalent, the most practical approach is to send the code 5601 or the dimensions of the old seal: shaft diameter, housing diameter and height. With that data we can look for an alternative within the DBH line or other brands we sell. We can also advise you if the original seal has a special design, such as a double lip or high-temperature-resistant material.
