Carbon Fibre Roll Wrap Tube – 13mm x 11mm x 1000mm

Carbon Fibre Roll Wrapped Tube 13mm x 11mm x 1000mm

Fine diameter. Consistent stiffness. Ready to cut and build.

Carbon fibre roll wrapped tube 13mm x 11mm x 1000mm sits in the fine small diameter range — and it fills a specific and practical gap between the ultra-fine 11mm grades and the more structural 16mm sizes. At 1mm wall and 13mm OD, this carbon fibre roll wrapped tube suits RC builds, micro drone frames, fine robotics, and precision mechanical assemblies where a slim profile and low mass are both non-negotiable. Furthermore, the clean woven surface finish and consistent dimensions make it ready to use straight from the pack.

Where 13mm x 11mm Fits

At 13mm OD, this tube sits in useful territory between the 11mm and 16mm grades. Specifically, it suits applications where the 11mm tube is marginally too fine for the load case — but where stepping up to a 16mm diameter adds unnecessary bulk or mass to the assembly.

Because the wall is 1mm, the tube stays genuinely lightweight. Consequently, it performs best in weight-sensitive builds where the structural member needs to be as slim and light as possible without compromising stiffness across the 1000mm length.

Furthermore, the 11mm ID accepts standard push-rods, cables, and mechanical inserts cleanly. As a result, integration into existing compact mechanical designs stays straightforward without custom machining or modification.

Key Performance Advantages

• 13mm OD fine structural format — practical step between the 11mm ultra-fine and 16mm small structural grades
• Carbon fibre roll wrapped construction — carbon layers orient around the tube axis, therefore delivering efficient bending, torsion, and compression performance
• 1mm wall thickness — maximises stiffness-to-weight ratio at this diameter for weight-critical precision builds
• 11mm ID — accepts standard push-rods, cables, and mechanical inserts without custom machining
• Clean woven surface finish — consistent dimensions and neat appearance straight from the pack
• Significant weight saving — substantially lighter than aluminium or steel at equivalent diameter
• Easy to machine — cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth blade or diamond wheel

How 13mm Fits Into the Carbon Tube Range

The 13mm OD sits precisely between the ultra-fine and small structural diameter grades. In particular, understanding where it fits helps confirm the right choice — or points toward the next size if the load case demands more:

If the 13mm tube suits the diameter but the load case needs more wall, the 16mm x 14mm is the logical next step. Similarly, if a finer profile suits the geometry better, the 11mm x 9mm is available as a stocked line.

Typical Applications

This tube suits any application where fine diameter, low weight, and consistent stiffness all matter at the same time. In particular, it performs across a wide range of industries and build types:

• Drones & RC Aircraft — tail booms, motor mounts, boom arms, and structural frame members where 13mm OD keeps profile and weight both in check
• RC Models & Hobby Builds — structural spars, push rods, control linkages, and frame members on RC cars, boats, gliders, and aircraft
• Robotics & Automation — fine structural members, linkage tubes, and precision mechanical assemblies where slim profile matters
• Kite & Windsport Frames — leading edge spars and structural ribs where fine, stiff tube is essential
• Photography & Camera Rigs — lightweight support members and fine structural elements on compact rig builds
• Aerospace Secondary Structures — lightweight tube members in instrumentation frames, sensor mounts, and non-primary structural assemblies
• Engineering & Prototyping — fine structural prototypes, test rigs, and precision mechanical builds requiring reliable small-diameter carbon tube
