Sugiura Research Institute TX-2 Special Grease for Optical Equipment
Sugiura Research Institute TX-2 is a mineral-oil-based specialty grease developed for cameras, microscopes and other precision optical equipment. It is designed for applications requiring good lubrication, controlled torque feel and stable movement of precision mechanical components. TX-2 is recommended for eyepiece mechanisms, sealing points, fine-adjustment screws, dovetail sliding mechanisms, manipulators and diopter-adjustment helicoids. Published Sugiura data lists a consistency of 331 at 25°C, a dropping point of approximately 96°C and a representative torque value of 57,800 μN·m at 25°C.
Product Details
Product Features
Good Lubrication Performance: Mineral-oil-based formulation provides stable lubrication for precision sliding and rotating mechanisms in optical equipment.
