Pultruded Carbon Fiber Tube (Hollow) 3mm(OD) * 1.5mm (ID)* 1000mm (Pack of 2)

Pultruded Carbon Fiber Tube (Hollow)

Dimensions:

• Outer Diameter (OD): 3mm
• Inner Diameter (ID): 1.5mm
• Length (L): 1000mm
• Quantity: Pack of 2 tubes

Material and Manufacturing Process:

Material:

• Carbon Fiber: These tubes are constructed from carbon fiber, a material known for its exceptional tensile strength, low weight, and high stiffness. Carbon fiber is made of carbon atoms bonded together in long chains, providing high strength and rigidity.

Manufacturing Process:

• Pultrusion: Pultrusion is a continuous process where carbon fibers are pulled through a resin bath to impregnate them with resin. The impregnated fibers are then pulled through a heated die, which shapes and cures the resin, resulting in a rigid, lightweight tube. This process ensures consistency and high-quality material properties along the entire length of the tube.

Key Features:

1. High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:
   • Carbon fiber provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making these tubes strong yet lightweight, which is ideal for applications requiring structural integrity without added mass.
2. Stiffness and Rigidity:
   • The inherent stiffness of carbon fiber ensures minimal flex or deformation under load, which is crucial for applications demanding precise performance.
3. Corrosion Resistance:
   • Carbon fiber does not corrode, making these tubes suitable for use in environments where they may be exposed to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive elements.
4. Dimensional Stability:
   • These tubes maintain their shape and size across a range of temperatures and stresses, providing reliable performance in various conditions.
5. Ease of Fabrication:
   • The tubes can be cut, drilled, and machined with appropriate tools, allowing for customization to fit specific project requirements.

Applications:

1. Aerospace:
   • Used in the construction of lightweight, strong components for aircraft, UAVs, and satellites to enhance performance and efficiency.
2. Automotive:
   • Ideal for high-performance parts in racing and sports cars, such as structural supports and drive shafts, to reduce weight and improve speed and handling.
3. Sports Equipment:
   • Used in the manufacturing of high-end sports gear like fishing rods, golf clubs, bicycle frames, and archery equipment for superior strength and light weight.
4. Robotics and Drones:
   • Perfect for building lightweight yet robust frames, arms, and supports in robotics and drone applications.
5. Industrial Applications:
   • Suitable for use in machinery and automation where high strength and low weight are advantageous.

Specifications:

• Tensile Strength: High, typical for carbon fiber materials, ensuring the tube can withstand significant stretching forces.
• Young’s Modulus (Stiffness): High, indicating resistance to deformation under stress.
• Density: Approximately 1.6 g/cm³, much lower than metals like steel or aluminum, contributing to the tube’s lightweight properties.

Additional Information:

• Finish: Pultruded carbon fiber tubes generally have a smooth, glossy surface with a visible carbon fiber weave pattern.
• Handling and Safety: While carbon fiber is incredibly strong, it is also brittle and can crack or shatter under impact. Handle with care to avoid damage. Use proper safety measures, such as gloves and masks, when cutting or machining to avoid inhaling fibers or resin dust.

By choosing these pultruded carbon fiber tubes, you gain access to high-performance materials that offer exceptional strength, durability, and lightweight properties suitable for a wide range of demanding applications.
