Frequently Asked Questions

Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing ~ 0.5" ID x 48"

What materials are used in the Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing (0.5" ID x 48")?

This tubing is constructed from a hybrid braid of carbon fiber and red Kevlar fibers. The combination leverages the high strength and stiffness of carbon fiber with the toughness and impact resistance of Kevlar, resulting in a lightweight yet durable composite tube.

What are the key specifications 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 48 inches. It is designed for applications requiring a balance of strength, light weight, and visual distinction due to the red Kevlar weave.

What are typical applications for the 0.5" ID x 48" Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar tubing?

This tubing is suitable for lightweight structural applications where both strength and impact resistance are important. Common uses include robotics arms, drone frames, custom sporting equipment, and hobbyist projects that benefit from the hybrid carbon/Kevlar construction.

What are the advantages of using a carbon/Kevlar hybrid tube over standard carbon fiber tubing?

The carbon/Kevlar hybrid construction offers a unique combination of high strength-to-weight ratio from carbon fiber and enhanced toughness and impact resistance from Kevlar. This makes the tubing less prone to catastrophic failure under impact and provides a distinctive appearance due to the colored Kevlar weave.

Are there technical resources or CAD models available for this tubing?

Yes, DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models and technical documentation for many of its tubing products. These resources help with integration into your designs and ensure proper fit and application. Visit dragonplate.com/cad-models for available files.

Braided Carbon/Red Kevlar Round Tubing ~ 0.5" ID x 48"

$152.26
SKU: FDPBT-DIA*.5x48G*KHR*

Please Allow 3-5 days before this item ships

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.
