Product Description
  • Suitable for building compact optical systems
  • Thread configuration: SM2
  • Available in three versions: internal-external threads (SM2-xxA), internal threads (SM2-xxB), and external threads (SM2-xxC)
  • Light blocking, mounted with Ø50.8 mm optical components
LBTEK lens tubes are commonly used to secure optical components with a diameter of Ø50.8 mm or to block stray light in optical paths, preventing environmental light from affecting the system. LBTEK's SM2 lens tubes come in three versions: with both internal and external threads (SM2-xxA), internal threads only (SM2-xxB), and external threads only (SM2-xxC). The lens tubes can be combined to extend their length, facilitating the rapid setup of compact optical systems. By using a retaining ring wrench, the retaining ring can be positioned at the desired location inside the lens tube to separate and secure optical components. In addition to the standard SM2 lens tubes, LBTEK also offers SM05 and SM1 lens tubes, along with compatible accessories such as lens tube adapters, retaining rings, and retaining ring wrenches.

SM2 lens sleeve, internal threads on both ends
  • SM2 internal threads on both ends
  • Ideal for mounting Ø50.8 mm optical elements
  • SM2-xxA, SM2-25C or SM2-12.5T useable to extend lens tube length
  • Includes 2 SM2R retaining rings
The LBTEK internal-threaded lens tube features SM2 internal threads on both ends, allowing direct installation and removal of Ø50.8 mm optical components from either side. When stacking multiple lens tubes, SM2-25C or SM2-12.5T accessories are required for proper connection. Each lens tube comes with two SM2R retaining rings to secure the position of optical components.

SM2 Slotted Lens Tube
  • Side access slot for ease of optical component manipulation
  • Rotatable slip cap for optical protection
  • SM2 external threads at one end, SM2 internal threads at the opposite end
  • Includes 2 SM2R retaining rings

The LBTEK 2-inch stackable slotted lens tube features side slots, enabling quick and easy assembly of complex optical components while allowing adjustment of optical elements without disassembling the setup. Multiple retaining rings can be used to mount several optical elements within a single lens tube. First, screw the first retaining ring to the required depth, place the optical element, and then secure it with the second retaining ring. The side slots allow manual adjustment of optical elements without requiring a retaining ring wrench. The lens tube comes with a rotatable sliding cover that can conceal the slots, preventing stray light from entering the system while maintaining optical cleanliness. Each lens tube includes two retaining rings.

Side slotted, SM2 external threads at one end, SM2 internal threads at the opposite end

SM2 extension tube
  • One end with SM2 external thread, the other end with SM2 internal thread
  • Scalable design, enabling the construction of multi-component Optical Systems
  • Thicker casing wall with greater structural stiffness.

LBTEK extension tubes are used to extend the spacing between Optical Components in Optical Systems with long Focal Length  Lens, and can secure Optical Components with a diameter of Ø50.8 mm. Each extension tube is supplied with one SM2R retaining ring. Both ends of the extension tube are threaded, allowing direct connection with SM2 Lens tubes for free combination in the length direction. Compared with standard SM2 Lens tubes, its tube wall is thickened, providing higher structural rigidity under long-distance support conditions and reducing optical axis deviation caused by tube deflection or deformation.

One end has an SM2 external thread, and the other end has an SM2 internal thread
