Light instrument lubrication

Light instrument lubrication

Light instrument lubrication

(OP)
I am looking for a low friction lubrication for instrument bearings.  I was recommended Windsor Lube l-245X from Fuchs or  Anderson oil which I can't source anywhere. Another recommendation was Drylube which has proved just as elusive.
Any recommendations?

RE: Light instrument lubrication

What type of bearing? Your application may be a good candidate for Cobra Solid Lubricant. Extremely free-spinning bearing lubricant.

RE: Light instrument lubrication

Your requirement of low friction would surely suggest an oil, rather than a grease? If these are instrument bearings then manufacturers like Timken MPB, Myonic or Barden will be able to offer excellent advice.
