Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 3.438" ID x 96"

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (3.438" ID x 96")?

This tube combines a Kevlar core with carbon fiber outer layers, offering an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The Kevlar core enhances toughness and impact resistance, while the carbon fiber provides high stiffness and durability. The tube measures 3.438 inches in inner diameter and 96 inches in length, making it suitable for applications requiring large, lightweight, and strong structural components.

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

The 3.438" ID x 96" Kevlar core carbon fiber tube is ideal for structural uses where both strength and impact resistance are critical, such as aerospace, robotics, industrial automation, and custom engineering projects. Its large diameter and lightweight construction make it suitable for building frames, arms, and supports that must withstand demanding environments.

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 catastrophic failure under sudden loads or impacts. This makes the tube more resilient than standard carbon fiber tubes, which are typically optimized for stiffness but may be more brittle. The combination ensures both high strength and durability for demanding applications.

Are custom sizes or fabrication options available for this tube?

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.
