The DBH 8518Vit radial shaft seal is a lip seal that closes off the passage of oil or grease between a rotating shaft and its housing. With a 38.00 mm shaft, 55.00 mm housing and 8.00 mm height, and Lx-H-H design, it is used in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and power transmission equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this brand and advises you so you choose the right oil seal for your application.
This item is a DBH 8518Vit radial shaft seal, identified by its designation 8518Vit. Its dimensions are 38.00 mm shaft diameter (d), 55.00 mm housing diameter (D) and 8.00 mm height (h). The Lx-H-H design indicates the lip and body configuration: a main sealing lip and a geometry designed to retain lubricant and exclude contaminants on rotating shafts. It is a standard replacement part within the DBH seal line.
Typical applications for an oil seal of these dimensions include gearboxes, reducers, centrifugal pumps, electric motors, drive shafts and process equipment. In all cases it serves to prevent oil or grease leaks and to stop the ingress of dust, water or particles. It is commonly found in industrial maintenance, where it is replaced together with bearings and bushings when an assembly is taken apart.
For installation, check that the shaft has no burrs or wear and that the housing is clean and free of ridges. Lubricate the lip before inserting it and place the seal perpendicular to the shaft, without striking it unevenly. When selecting a replacement, take into account the rotation speed, working temperature and the fluid to be retained; if the shaft shows wear, consider a nearby size or a repair sleeve.
