Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 2.375" ID x 72"

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 2.375" ID x 72"?

This tube combines a Kevlar core with carbon fiber outer layers, providing an optimal balance of strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. The 2.375-inch inner diameter and 72-inch length make it suitable for applications requiring large, lightweight, and durable tubing. Kevlar enhances toughness and damage tolerance, while carbon fiber delivers high strength-to-weight performance.

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

This tube is ideal for projects that require both high strength and impact resistance, such as robotics, aerospace structures, UAV frames, and custom machinery. The Kevlar core helps absorb impacts and resist cracking, making it suitable for demanding environments where durability is critical.

How does the Kevlar core improve the performance of this carbon fiber tube?

The Kevlar core increases the tube's resistance to impact and fracture compared to tubes made solely of carbon fiber. This hybrid construction provides a combination of stiffness, lightweight properties, and enhanced toughness, making the tube less likely to fail under sudden loads or impacts.

Are custom sizes or fabrication services available for this tube?

Yes, DragonPlate offers custom fabrication services, including CNC cutting and custom tube lengths or diameters. Customers can request tailored solutions to meet specific project requirements. For more information, visit the custom fabrication page.

Where can I find technical documentation or CAD models for this tube?

Technical documentation and downloadable CAD models are available to assist with design and integration. Visit the CAD models page or refer to DragonPlate's product catalogs for detailed specifications.

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.
