Frequently Asked Questions

Braided Carbon Fiber Square Tubing 1" x 1" x 48"

What are the exact dimensions of the Braided Carbon Fiber Square Tubing offered on this page?

This product is a braided carbon fiber square tube with outside dimensions of 1 inch by 1 inch and a length of 48 inches.

What material and construction method is used for this tubing?

This tubing is constructed from braided carbon fiber, which provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. The braided construction enhances torsional strength and impact resistance compared to unidirectional or pultruded tubes.

What are typical applications for the 1" x 1" x 48" braided carbon fiber square tubing?

This tubing is suitable for lightweight structural applications where high strength and rigidity are required, such as in robotics frames, UAV/drone arms, automation equipment, and custom engineering projects.

How does the strength-to-weight ratio of this tubing benefit my project?

Braided carbon fiber square tubing offers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for projects that require high performance with minimal added weight. This is especially beneficial in aerospace, robotics, and automation applications where reducing mass is critical.

Is this tubing compatible with DragonPlate's modular connector systems or accessories?

Yes, DragonPlate's braided carbon fiber square tubing is designed to be compatible with modular connector systems and accessories, allowing for easy assembly of rigid structures without welding or specialty bonding. For specific compatibility, refer to the connector system documentation or contact DragonPlate support.

Can this tubing be cut or machined to custom lengths?

Yes, the 1" x 1" x 48" braided carbon fiber square tubing can be cut or machined to custom lengths using appropriate tools. DragonPlate also offers CNC cutting services for precise customization if required.

Textured vs. Natural Carbon Fiber Finish

This tubing is comprised of Carbon Fiber Braid and Unidirectional Fabrics. This product is ideal for building light weight frames and structures such as trusses. Our Carbon Fiber tubing has been engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber tubing is also significantly lighter than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber large tube has been designed so that the unidirectional layers are captured, eliminating longitudinal cracking and splitting. The finish on this product is different from our other product lines.

 

Three options for finish on this tube are available. Natural, where the finish shows the texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet shiny appearance. Gloss, which has a flatter, more uniform glossy surface and textured to facilitate bonding, allowing for a more consistent attachment surface. Textured surface is also ideal for painting. Please allow 5-7 days before tubes with textured finish ship.
