Frequently Asked Questions

Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing ~ 0.5" ID x 24"

What materials are used in the Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing?

This tubing is constructed from a hybrid braid of carbon fiber and red Kevlar. The combination provides enhanced strength, durability, and impact resistance compared to standard carbon fiber tubes. The carbon fiber delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio, while Kevlar adds toughness and visual distinction.

What are the dimensions of this tubing?

The Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing featured on this page has an inner diameter (ID) of 0.5 inches and a length of 24 inches. These dimensions make it suitable for lightweight structural applications and custom assemblies.

What are the typical applications for this braided carbon/Kevlar tubing?

This tubing is commonly used in robotics, drones, lightweight structural assemblies, and custom engineering projects where both strength and impact resistance are required. Its hybrid construction is ideal for applications needing a balance of stiffness and toughness.

How does the strength-to-weight ratio of this tubing compare to standard materials?

The braided carbon/Kevlar tubing offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional metal or plastic tubes. Carbon fiber provides high stiffness and low weight, while Kevlar enhances impact resistance. This makes the tubing ideal for high-performance applications where minimizing weight is critical.

Is this tubing compatible with DragonPlate modular connector systems?

Yes, DragonPlate's braided carbon/Kevlar round tubing is designed to be compatible with DragonPlate modular connector systems, enabling easy assembly of rigid structures without welding or specialty bonding. For specific compatibility, refer to the connector system documentation or contact DragonPlate support.

Are there technical resources available for integrating or machining this tubing?

DragonPlate provides technical guides, downloadable CAD models, and machining recommendations for its tubing products. These resources help users integrate the tubing into their designs and ensure proper fabrication. Access guides and CAD models at dragonplate.com/cad-models.

Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing ~ 0.5" ID x 24"

$78.12
SKU: FDPBT-DIA*.5x24G*KHR*

Dragonplate braided tube with carbon/Kevlar face ply has the same construction as the standard braided tube, but with the outer braided material comprising a hybrid carbon/Kevlar blend. This tube maintains most of the rigidity and strength of the standard all carbon fiber braided tube, but with the aesthetic look of carbon/Kevlar. If additional rigidity and strength are required, the twill roll-wrapped tube with carbon/Kevlar face ply is recommended. These tubes can also be used with our Modular Tube Connecting System to easily create complex structures.

 

Nearly all of our current carbon fiber braided tubes can be made with the Carbon/Kevlar braid, or even optimized further with a fully customized laminate schedule including both standard and high modulus carbon fiber with the Carbon/Kevlar braid as the outer layer. Call for details. Wall thickness is approximately 0.045". Tube finish is gloss.
