Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 0.625" ID x 72"

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (0.625" ID x 72")?

This tube combines a Kevlar core with carbon fiber outer layers, offering enhanced toughness and impact resistance compared to standard carbon fiber tubes. The 0.625 inch inner diameter and 72 inch length make it suitable for applications requiring long, lightweight, and durable tubing. Kevlar provides additional resilience against abrasion and fracture, making it ideal for demanding environments.

What applications are best suited for this Kevlar core carbon fiber tube?

The Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube is ideal for projects where both high strength and impact resistance are required, such as robotics, aerospace, UAVs, and custom machinery. Its lightweight construction and durability make it suitable for structural components, arms, booms, and other assemblies exposed to mechanical stress or vibration.

How does the Kevlar core improve performance compared to standard carbon fiber tubes?

The Kevlar core adds toughness and impact resistance, reducing the risk of fracture or splitting under load or impact. This makes the tube more suitable for applications where vibration, shock, or abrasion are concerns. The combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber results in a tube that maintains high strength-to-weight ratio while offering improved durability.

Can the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube be cut, drilled, or machined?

Yes, this tube can be cut, drilled, and machined using standard tools suitable for composite materials. Customers have noted that DragonPlate's tubes are easy to work with and do not require specialized equipment. Proper safety measures should be observed to manage dust and debris during machining.

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

DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models and technical documentation for its products, including Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes. These resources help customers integrate the tube into their designs and ensure compatibility with other components. CAD models can be accessed at dragonplate.com/cad-models.

What accessories or connector systems are compatible with this tube?

DragonPlate offers a range of modular connector systems and accessories designed for carbon fiber and Kevlar composite tubes. These include bonded fasteners, adhesives, and modular connectors that facilitate assembly without welding or specialty bonding.

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 0.625" ID x 72"

$158.75
SKU: FDPT.625*.75*72*KC*

Please Allow 10-15 days before this item ships

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.
