Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 1.625" ID x 96"

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (1.625" ID x 96")?

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 96" length make it suitable for applications requiring long, lightweight, and durable tubing. Kevlar provides additional resilience against abrasion and fracture, while carbon fiber ensures high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness.

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

The Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube is ideal for demanding applications in robotics, aerospace, industrial automation, and custom engineering projects where both lightweight and impact resistance are critical. Its construction makes it suitable for structural components, arms, booms, and assemblies exposed to vibration or potential impact.

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 damage from sudden impacts. While carbon fiber provides high stiffness and strength, Kevlar enhances durability and resilience, making the tube more suitable for environments where abrasion or shock loads are expected.

Are custom sizes or fabrication options available for this tube?

Yes, DragonPlate offers CNC cutting, custom sheet sizes, and specialized laminate schedules for Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes. Customers can request tailored dimensions or fabrication services to meet specific project requirements. For more details, visit DragonPlate's custom fabrication page.

Where can I find technical documentation or CAD models for the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube?

Technical documentation and downloadable CAD models for DragonPlate tubes, including Kevlar core carbon fiber round tubes, are available at dragonplate.com/cad-models. These resources help engineers and designers integrate the tube into their projects efficiently.

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 1.625" ID x 96"

$333.05
SKU: FDPT1.625*1.75*96*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.
