Carbon fibre tubes can be used to replace aluminum or steel tubes in a wide range of projects. A carbon fibre tube of the same weight as an aluminum or steel tube can be much stronger and lighter. This roll-wrapped carbon fibre tube is manufactured predominantly using high modulus (T700) unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre oriented to provide maximum strength in the lateral axis.

Roll wrapped carbon fibre tubes offer superior strength in general use to ‘pultruded’ tubes (which have all their fibres running in the same direction.

The use of unidirectional fibres and maximum strength in the lateral axis does mean that the tube is not strong across its diameter as it is along its length so should be used in such a way as to avoid unnecessary crushing forces across the tube.

Roll Wrapping:

The phrase ‘roll wrapped’ refers to the process used to manufacture these tubes. The prepreg carbon fibre is first laid up around a mandrel in multiple layers. Once the reinforcement is in place it is spiral-wrapped with heat-shrink tape before the whole assembly is oven-cured.

Characteristics:

Lightweight, excellent corrosion and heat resistance, and electrical conductivity. Very good flexural and hoop stiffness. After laminating, the wound CFK round tubes are ground (round) to size and then coated.

Tolerances:

Deviation in diameter ± 0.2 mm. Deviation in straightness max. 2 mm/m. The measured values are generally far below the maximum.

What are carbon fiber tubes used for?

Carbon fiber tubes are used in a wide range of applications, including tactical ladders, systems, rods, and beams. Carbon fiber provides low weight, and better mechanical properties over conventional materials like aluminum, and steel.

Are carbon fiber tubes strong?

Carbon fiber tubes are used in numerous applications like tactical ladders, trusses, beams, and more. Carbon fiber is typically chosen over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium because of the following properties: High strength and stiffness to weight.

Do carbon fiber tubes bend?

Our carbon fiber tubing is built using a thermoset epoxy resin. This means that once cured the epoxy never returns to a liquid state. If you tried to bend our tubing it would break with enough applied force but it will not bend. Carbon fiber/epoxy composite is very stiff!
