Overview of Carbon Fiber Tube
Carbon fiber tube are hollow cylindrical structures made from carbon fiber composites. They are manufactured by wrapping carbon fiber sheets around a mandrel and curing with resin. These tubes combine high strength with light weight, making them ideal for applications requiring structural support in a compact form.
Core Properties
Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is their primary advantage. They are stronger than steel tubes but much lighter. This makes them perfect for applications where weight is critical, such as aerospace and robotics.
Good rigidity and torsional strength allow them to resist bending and twisting. This stability ensures they maintain their shape under load, providing reliable structural support.
They also offer corrosion resistance. Unlike metal tubes, they do not rust or corrode when exposed to moisture or chemicals. This extends their lifespan in harsh environments.
Applications
The aerospace industry uses them for aircraft landing gear components, wing struts and satellite structures. Their light weight improves fuel efficiency and payload capacity.
In robotics, they are used for arm structures, legs and frame components. Their rigidity and light weight allow robots to move efficiently and with precision.
Sports equipment applications include bicycle frames, golf club shafts, fishing rods and kayak paddles. They provide the necessary strength and flexibility for optimal performance.
Selection Tips
Consider the diameter and length. Choose dimensions that fit your application. Ensure the tube can support the required load without bending or breaking.
Check the wall thickness. Thicker walls offer higher strength but add weight. Balance strength needs with weight constraints.
Evaluate the manufacturing quality. Look for uniform wall thickness, smooth surfaces and proper resin bonding. Poorly made tubes may have weak points that can fail under load.
