Round Pull Braided Carbon Fiber Tube, ext. ∅ 25 mm, int. ∅ 23 mm, 1
mm thickness (1000 mm length)
Round carbon fiber tubes are manufactured by using the pultrusion
technique in which the high-performance carbon fibers are all
orientated parallel to the longitudinal axis (unidirectional) and
internally reinforced with more unidirectional carbon fibers
laminated by using pull winding technology to achieve greater
resistance to bending and torsion.
These tubes are comprised of carbon fiber braid and unidirectional
fabrics. This product is ideal for building lightweight frames and
structures such as trusses. Our carbon fiber tubes have been
engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading
than pultruded tubing. They're also significantly lighter than
pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber large tubes have been designed
so that the unidirectional layers are captured, eliminating
longitudinal cracking and splitting. The finish on this product is
different from our other product lines. These tubes show the
texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet and shiny appearance.
For tubes with higher bending stiffness, see our carbon fiber
roll-wrapped tubing.
In the pull winding process, the fibers are impregnated with a
thermoset resin (normally epoxy) and pulled through a heated mold
where curing takes place. This process enables accurate control of
the crosswise and longitudinal fibers and thus properties of the
final product by adjusting the amount of lengthwise and crosswise
fibers. The products are cut to length at the end of a production
line.
During this process, the reinforcing fibres are wound onto the UD
yarns by rotating winding equipment. Winding the fibres on twice in
this way provides greater bending and torsional strength than in
the case of pultruded or extruded tubes.
Some application ideas: Support structures, robot arms, bicycle
parts, mass critical machinery items such as textile machine parts,
telescopic poles, camera tripods, tool handles, kite tubes,
microphone booms, Hi-Fi music stands, defence applications and many
more.

FAQ
Q: Are you a manufacturer?
A: Yes, we are a manufacturer, welcome to visit our factory!
Q: Can I have a sample order?
A: Yes, we welcome sample orders to test and check quality. Mixed
samples are acceptable too.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Standard size Sample needs 5 days, mass production needs 15-30
days, according to the quantity
Q: Do you offer OEM service?
A: We accept OEM orders for all our production lines, including the
client's logos and labels. After many years of exploration and
development, we are sure we can meet all your requirements.
Q: How long can I get a response after I send an inquiry?
A: We will reply to each inquiry within 12 hours.
Q: Your quotation does NOT meet my target price
A: We can propose materials, accessories, or design alternatives to
lower the price of your project
Q: What is carbon fiber used for?
A: Carbon fiber -- sometimes known as graphite fiber -- is a
strong, stiff, lightweight material that has the potential to
replace steel and is popularly used in specialized,
high-performance products like aircraft, race cars and sporting
equipment.
Q: Is carbon fiber stronger than steel
A: Carbon fibers are classified by the tensile modulus of the
fiber. ... Thus, the strongest carbon fibers are ten times stronger
than steel and eight times that of aluminum, not to mention much
lighter than both materials, 5 and 1.5 times respectively.
Q: Why is carbon fiber so expensive?
A: Another carbon fiber cost factor is energy. ... It takes a lot
of energy to reinforce each fiber with carbon atoms. Energy, is
also required to bundle the carbon together into fibers and
threads. Energy costs are probably the most expensive factor in
carbon fiber manufacturing.
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber?
A: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials possess good
rigidity, high strength, low density, corrosion resistance,
vibration resistance, high ultimate strain, high fatigue resistance
& low thermal conductivity. They are bad conductors of
electricity and are not magnetic.
Q: Is carbon fiber resistant to water?
A: The carbon fiber in the composite does not absorb water from the
environment, and its resistance remained unchanged when immersed in
water.
Q: Is carbon fiber the future?
A: The future of carbon fiber is undoubtedly on a positive course.
However, the speed at which carbon fiber integrates into larger
commercial markets and more and more common applications is largely
dependent on the capabilities of existing carbon fiber
manufacturers.
