Great Strength & Superior Machinability Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube

Roll wrapping carbon fiber tubes is the process we use for composite tubes that are smaller and shorter in length. Rock West Composites utilize prepreg materials, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar, flax, and hybrids when roll wrapping tubes. This manufacturing process is primarily used for producing small to medium diameter tubes of 0.250" through 12.0" diameter and lengths up to 8' long. Rolled tubes are ideal for applications that require the highest bending stiffness and lowest weight, such as telescoping poles, automation robotics, idler rollers, and UAV components.

Carbon fibre tube can be used to replace aluminium or steel tubes in a wide range of projects. The Carbon fibre tube of the same weight as an aluminium or steel tube can be much stronger and lighter. Roll-wrapped carbon fibre tubes offer superior strength in general use to ‘pultruded’ tubes (which have all their fibres running in exactly the same direction.

The use of unidirectional fibres and maximum strength in the lateral axis does mean that the tube is not strong across its diameter as it is along its length so should be used in such a way as to avoid unnecessary crushing forces across the tube.
