Roll Wrapped Carbon Fiber Kevlar Tube - Extremely Strong, Stiff and Lightweight
What is a Carbon Kevlar Tube?
A Carbon Kevlar Tube is a hollow, cylindrical structure made from a composite of carbon fiber and Kevlar fibers. These tubes are typically manufactured by layering the two materials in a specific pattern to leverage the benefits of both.
A Carbon Kevlar Tube combines the properties of carbon fiber and Kevlar to create a composite material that offers a unique combination of strength, stiffness, and durability, while also being relatively lightweight.
Carbon Fiber: Provides excellent tensile strength, stiffness, and lightweight.
Kevlar: Adds superior impact resistance and toughness, especially against abrasion, tearing, and deformation.
Our roll-wrapped carbon fiber tubes are manufactured by wrapping multiple layers of 12k UD and 3k twill/plain carbon fiber prepregs around a metal mold and then cured at high temperatures. The UD prepregs are used in core layers whereas the Twill/Plain is on the surface. Based on your requirements, we can also use Kevlar and glass fiber.
Available in matte and gloss finishings, these tubes are not only good-looking but also extremely stiff and strong. Such roll-wrapped tubes are available in round, square, rectangular, hexagon, and octagon shapes. All these tubes are custom-made based on the client’s requirements.
Common Applications of Carbon Fiber Tube
- Aerospace beams and spars
- Telescopes
- Arrows
- Robotics
- Arrow Shafts
- Bicycle frames
- Kayak paddles
- RC models
- Yachts
Carbon fiber tubes are extremely strong and stiff but lightweight. Hence, if you are looking for the strength of a steel/aluminum tube but at 1/3rd weight, our carbon fiber tubes are an ideal replacement.
Benefits of Carbon Kevlar Tubes:
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar provides an excellent balance between strength and weight.
- Impact Resistance: Kevlar is known for its high toughness and ability to absorb impacts, which makes the tube more resistant to damage from sudden forces.
- Durability: The Kevlar layers increase resistance to wear, tear, and abrasion, extending the life of the tube in demanding environments.
- Corrosion Resistance: Like pure carbon fiber, Carbon Kevlar tubes resist rust and corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments.
- Flexibility and Stiffness: The composite structure offers a good balance of rigidity with enough flexibility to withstand impacts without breaking.
