Carbon Fibre Roll Wrapped Tube – 20mm x 16mm x 1000/2000mm

Carbon Fibre Roll Wrapped Tube 20mm x 16mm — 1000mm / 2000mm

Slim profile. Two lengths. Structurally efficient.

Carbon fibre roll wrapped tube 20mm x 16mm bridges the gap between the fine small diameter grades and the more structural mid-diameter sizes — and the 2mm wall puts genuine stiffness into a compact, lightweight format. Available in 1000mm and 2000mm lengths, this carbon fibre roll wrapped tube suits drone frames, RC builds, robotics, and compact structural assemblies where a slim but capable tube is the right call. Furthermore, the 2000mm length option opens up longer span applications without the need for joins or custom cutting lead times.

Where 20mm x 16mm Fits

At 20mm OD with a 2mm wall, this tube delivers more structural capability than a slim 1mm wall tube at a similar diameter. Specifically, the heavier wall suits applications where the load case demands genuine stiffness across the full length — not just a lightweight profile.

The 2000mm length, moreover, suits boom arms, rails, and structural frame members where a continuous tube removes the complexity of joining shorter sections. Consequently, both compact and longer span applications are covered from a single stocked line.

Furthermore, the 16mm ID accepts standard push-rods, cables, and mechanical inserts without modification. As a result, integration into existing compact mechanical designs stays straightforward from the outset.

Key Performance Advantages

• 2mm wall thickness — meaningful structural stiffness that outperforms slim 1mm wall tubes at a similar diameter
• Carbon fibre roll wrapped construction — carbon layers orient around the tube axis, therefore delivering efficient bending, torsion, and compression performance
• Two standard lengths — 1000mm and 2000mm available as separate SKUs to suit compact and longer span requirements
• 20mm OD slim structural format — large enough for real structural loads, compact enough for tight assembly geometries
• 16mm ID — accepts standard push-rods, cables, and mechanical inserts without custom machining
• Significant weight saving — substantially lighter than aluminium or steel at equivalent diameter and wall
• Easy to machine — cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth blade or diamond wheel

How 20mm Fits Into the Carbon Tube Range

The 20mm OD sits between the fine small diameter grades and the slim mid-diameter structural sizes. In particular, understanding where it fits helps confirm the right choice for the application:

If the 20mm tube suits the diameter but a slimmer wall is needed, the 22mm x 20mm 1mm wall grade is the logical alternative. Similarly, if a slightly larger OD suits the geometry better, the 22mm or 26mm grades are available as stocked lines.

Typical Applications

This tube suits any application where a slim, stiff, 2mm wall structural tube is needed across two practical span lengths. In particular, it performs consistently across a wide range of industries:

• Drones & RC Aircraft — boom arms, motor mounts, tail booms, and structural frame members where 20mm OD keeps profile slim and weight low
• RC Models & Hobby Builds — structural spars, push rods, control linkages, and frame members on RC cars, boats, gliders, and aircraft
• Robotics & Automation — slim structural members, linkage tubes, and compact mechanical assemblies where 2mm wall carbon outperforms aluminium
• Photography & Camera Rigs — lightweight support members and structural elements on compact and mid-size rig builds
• Kite & Windsport Frames — structural spars and frame members where a slim, stiff tube is essential
• Marine — lightweight fittings, tiller extensions, and structural deck hardware on performance craft
• Engineering & Prototyping — slim structural prototypes and test rigs requiring reliable 2mm wall carbon tube at a compact diameter
