Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 1.75" ID x 72"

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (1.75" ID x 72")?

This tube combines a Kevlar core with carbon fiber outer layers, offering an optimal balance of strength, weight, and durability. The Kevlar core enhances impact resistance and toughness, while the carbon fiber provides high stiffness and a superior strength-to-weight ratio. The tube measures 1.75 inches in inner diameter and 72 inches in length, making it suitable for applications requiring long, lightweight, and strong structural elements.

What are typical applications for this Kevlar core carbon fiber tube?

The 1.75" ID x 72" Kevlar core carbon fiber tube is commonly used in robotics, aerospace, industrial automation, and custom engineering projects where high strength, low weight, and impact resistance are critical. Its construction makes it ideal for structural arms, frames, and assemblies that must withstand demanding environments.

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

The Kevlar core increases the tube's toughness and impact resistance, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure under sudden loads or impacts. This makes the tube more suitable for applications where vibration, shock, or repeated stress are concerns, while still maintaining the lightweight and stiff properties of carbon fiber.

Can this tube be customized or cut to specific lengths?

Yes, DragonPlate offers CNC cutting and custom fabrication services for Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes. Customers can request specific lengths, hole patterns, or other modifications to suit their project requirements. For details, visit the custom fabrication page or contact DragonPlate directly.

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.
