Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 1.625" ID x 48"

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (1.625" ID x 48")?

This tube combines a Kevlar core with carbon fiber outer layers, offering enhanced toughness and impact resistance compared to standard carbon fiber tubes. The 1.625" inner diameter and 48" length make it suitable for applications requiring lightweight strength and durability. Kevlar's unique properties help absorb impacts and reduce the risk of catastrophic failure.

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

The tube is ideal for projects where both high strength and impact resistance are required, such as robotics, aerospace, drone frames, and custom structural assemblies. Its Kevlar core makes it particularly suitable for environments where vibration, shock, or accidental impacts are concerns.

How does the Kevlar core affect the tube's performance compared to standard carbon fiber tubes?

The Kevlar core increases the tube's toughness and ability to absorb impacts, reducing brittleness and improving resistance to sudden shocks. While standard carbon fiber tubes excel in stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio, the Kevlar core variant offers additional safety and durability in demanding conditions.

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

Yes, DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models and technical documentation for integration into your design workflow. These resources help ensure accurate fit and compatibility with other components. Access CAD models at dragonplate.com/cad-models.

Is this tube manufactured under any quality standards?

All DragonPlate tubes, including the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube, are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at the facility in Elbridge, New York. This ensures consistent quality and reliability for demanding applications.

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.
