The DBH 5897 oil seal is a lip-type radial shaft seal that mounts on the shaft and blocks the passage of oil, grease or contaminants in gearboxes, pumps and rotating equipment. Its Lx design combines a sealing lip with a metal case that seats under pressure in the housing. With a 76.20 mm shaft, 101.68 mm housing and 12.70 mm height, it is a frequently replaced size in imported equipment.

This item is a DBH 5897 radial shaft seal, identified by its designation 5897. Its dimensions are shaft (d) 76.2 mm, housing (D) 101.68 mm and height (h) 12.70 mm, with Lx design. These are the three dimensions that define the mounting: the shaft diameter where the lip rides, the housing diameter where the case fits and the width it occupies in the housing. The series is manufactured in inch sizes converted to millimeters, typical of equipment of US origin.

It is used in gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, rollers and power transmission equipment where lubricant must be retained and dust or water ingress stopped. The Lx design is the single-lip seal with metal case, the most common in medium-speed applications. If the equipment operates with heavy dirt or pressure washing, a version with an additional dust lip should be evaluated, but that is defined according to the specific application.

To install it, check that the shaft has no burrs, wear or marks on the sealing track, and that the housing is clean and free of deformation. Lubricate the lip before inserting it and place the seal perpendicular, with a press or support tube, never striking the lip. The 12.70 mm height must match the available seat. If the shaft shows a groove or wear, a seal with an offset lip or a repair sleeve may be required.
