Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 3.5" ID x 96" — Product Details & Use

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 3.5" 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 impact resistance and toughness, while the carbon fiber provides stiffness and durability. The tube measures 3.5 inches in inner diameter and 96 inches in length, making it suitable for applications requiring long, lightweight, and strong structural elements.

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

This tube is ideal for projects that demand high strength, low weight, and enhanced impact resistance. Typical uses include aerospace structures, robotics, industrial automation, and custom engineering projects where durability and performance are critical.

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

The Kevlar core increases the tube's resistance to impact and fatigue, making it more suitable for environments where toughness is required. While standard carbon fiber tubes offer high stiffness and strength, the Kevlar core adds additional resilience, especially against cracking and sudden impacts.

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 or custom machining to fit their project requirements. For more details, visit the custom fabrication page or contact DragonPlate directly.

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

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 3.5" ID x 96"

$559.88
SKU: FDPT3.5*3.625*96*KC*

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.
