Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 0.5" ID x 72"

What are the key specifications of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 0.5" ID x 72"?

This tube features an inner diameter (ID) of 0.5 inches and a length of 72 inches. It is constructed with a Kevlar core and carbon fiber outer layers, combining the impact resistance of Kevlar with the strength and stiffness of carbon fiber. For detailed technical data, refer to DragonPlate's product catalogs and technical documentation.

What are the advantages of using a Kevlar core in this carbon fiber tube?

The Kevlar core enhances impact resistance and toughness compared to tubes made solely of carbon fiber. This makes the tube suitable for applications where both lightweight properties and resistance to cracking or shattering are important.

What typical applications are suitable for the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 0.5" ID x 72"?

This tube is commonly used in robotics, aerospace, drones, and other engineering projects that require a combination of high strength, low weight, and improved impact resistance. Its construction makes it ideal for structural components, arms, frames, and custom assemblies.

Can the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube be cut or machined to custom lengths?

Yes, DragonPlate offers CNC cutting services and can provide custom lengths or shapes for this tube. The tube can also be cut and drilled using appropriate tools and safety measures. For custom fabrication, visit DragonPlate's custom carbon fiber fabrication page.

Are there compatible connectors or accessories for this tube?

DragonPlate provides a range of modular connector systems and accessories designed to work with carbon fiber and Kevlar core tubes. These include bonded fasteners, adhesives, and modular connectors for assembling rigid structures without welding or specialty bonding.

Where can I find technical documentation or CAD models for this tube?

Technical documentation, including product catalogs and downloadable CAD models, is available on the DragonPlate website. These resources provide detailed specifications and assist with integrating the tube into your designs.

The construction our of Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes is identical to our standard twill roll-wrapped tubes except that the uni-directional plies are replaced with prepreg woven Kevlar. By creating a sandwich laminate where carbon fiber comprises the material layers on the inside and outside of these tubes, Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes maintain most of the stiffness of our standard roll-wrapped twill prepreg tubes, but with greatly increased impact and puncture toughness due to the all Kevlar core. Wall thickness is 1/16" with a gloss finish.
