This tube combines a Kevlar core with carbon fiber outer layers, offering enhanced toughness, impact resistance, and a superior strength-to-weight ratio. The 1.875" inner diameter and 72" length make it suitable for applications requiring long, lightweight, and durable tubing. Kevlar core construction helps absorb impacts and reduces the risk of catastrophic failure compared to all-carbon fiber tubes.
The 1.875" ID x 72" Kevlar core carbon fiber tube is ideal for projects where both strength and impact resistance are critical, such as robotics, aerospace, drone frames, and custom structural assemblies. Its toughness makes it suitable for environments with vibration, shock, or risk of collision.
The Kevlar core increases impact resistance and toughness, making the tube less prone to brittle failure. While carbon fiber provides high stiffness and strength, Kevlar adds resilience, allowing the tube to better withstand repeated impacts or stress concentrations. This combination is particularly valuable in demanding applications.
Yes, the tube can be cut, drilled, and machined using standard composite fabrication tools. Customers have noted that DragonPlate's tubes are easy to work with and do not require specialized equipment. Proper safety measures should be followed to manage dust and debris during machining.
DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models and detailed technical documentation for its products, including Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes.
