In the field of precision instruments, whether it is microscopes in scientific research laboratories, telescopes for astronomical observation, or laser radars in automatic driving systems, they all have one thing in common - their optical and mechanical systems are extremely precise, and the requirements for lubrication are much higher than those of ordinary equipment.
Why do precision instruments need special lubrication? Such equipment often needs to maintain stable operation for a long time, and has strict requirements on operation feel, rotation damping and positioning accuracy. Ordinary lubricating grease may cause movement retardation due to high viscosity, or cause pollution of optical components due to unstable composition, which will directly affect the use experience and detection accuracy.
Three key points to note when lubricating precision equipment
Low volatility: Avoid generating oil mist at high temperatures or during long-term use, which will pollute lenses or detectors.
Appropriate damping: Ensure that the rotation or focusing feel is smooth and the damping is uniform, without jamming or loosening.
Material compatibility: Lubricating grease must be compatible with plastic, metal, rubber and other components to prevent softening, cracking or corrosion.
For different structures and usage environments of microscopes, telescopes, etc., Baoxing can customize lubricating grease formulas for various optical lenses and brackets, which can not only provide appropriate damping and lubrication performance, but also maintain cleanliness and stability for a long time.
