Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 3.5" ID x 24" — Product Details

What is the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (3.5" ID x 24")?

This product is a round tube manufactured by DragonPlate, featuring a Kevlar core and carbon fiber outer layers. The tube has an inner diameter of 3.5 inches and a length of 24 inches. The Kevlar core provides additional toughness and impact resistance, while the carbon fiber exterior delivers high strength and stiffness with minimal weight. This combination is ideal for applications requiring both durability and lightweight performance.

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

The Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube is suitable for projects that require high strength, low weight, and enhanced impact resistance. Common uses include aerospace, robotics, industrial automation, and custom engineering projects where both durability and performance are critical.

What are the key benefits of using a Kevlar core in this carbon fiber tube?

The Kevlar core increases the tube's toughness and resistance to impact, making it less prone to cracking or breaking under stress compared to tubes made solely from carbon fiber. The carbon fiber layers provide optimal strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and resistance to corrosion and temperature extremes. This combination ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

Can the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube be customized?

DragonPlate offers custom fabrication services, including CNC cutting and specialized laminate schedules, for Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes. Customers can request custom lengths, diameters, or additional machining to meet specific project requirements.

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.
