The DragonPlate Carbon Tube ~ .125"OD x .072"ID x 48" is a pultruded carbon fiber tube manufactured in the USA. It features an outer diameter of 0.125 inches, an inner diameter of 0.072 inches, and a length of 48 inches. This tube is designed for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. Note: For specialized requirements or different dimensions, custom fabrication options are available.
DragonPlate offers carbon fiber tubes in various finishes, weave patterns, and thicknesses, including round, square, rectangular, tapered, and braided options. Specialized tubes such as high temperature, flame retardant, and Kevlar hybrid tubes are also available. Note: Not all finishes or materials are available for every tube size; check product listings for specifics.
Compatible accessories include bonded fasteners, adhesives (such as 3M and LOCTITE/Hysol), polishes, and modular connector systems for assembling rigid structures. These accessories support assembly, maintenance, and integration into larger systems. Note: Accessory compatibility may vary by tube size and type; refer to technical documentation for details.
DragonPlate carbon fiber tubes offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio, are lightweight, and highly resistant to corrosion, temperature extremes, and UV exposure. These properties make them suitable for demanding applications in aerospace, robotics, and industrial automation. Note: For applications requiring extreme flame resistance or biocompatibility, specialized product lines are available.
Yes, DragonPlate provides custom fabrication services including CNC cutting, custom sheet and tube sizes, and specialized laminate schedules. Engineering and design services are also available for unique parts and assemblies. For advanced engineering, Element 6 Composites offers design, analysis, and prototyping. Note: Custom orders may have longer lead times and minimum order requirements.
Technical documentation includes detailed product catalogs (e.g., for 3M adhesives, bonded fasteners), technical guides such as "The Ultimate Guide to Carbon Fiber Design and Application," downloadable CAD models, and a product category hierarchy. These resources provide specifications, integration support, and design guidance. Note: Some documentation may require registration or direct inquiry for access.
Industries include aerospace, robotics, medical devices, industrial automation, marine defense, drone technology, and research. Case studies highlight use in wall-climbing robots, drone test beds, and custom electrical enclosures for the US Navy. Note: Suitability for highly regulated or specialized industries should be confirmed with DragonPlate engineering support.
Customers have achieved measurable results such as $1 million in annual cost savings (industrial automation case study), improved product performance, and reduced lead times for custom parts. The tubes' lightweight and durable properties enable faster time-to-market and compliance with regulatory standards. Note: Actual results depend on application and implementation; detailed limitations not publicly documented—ask sales for specifics.
